Recipes, shelf life, co-packing, and retailer demands, on the ERP that Stellar Snacks chose to grow on.
Bakery and snack producers run recipes at scale, ship product that has weeks or days of shelf life, and sell to retailers who expect EDI, exact case counts, and clean deductions. Many also co-pack for other brands, which means customer-owned recipes and inventory alongside their own. NetSuite with Consule’s ProShop holds the recipes, records actual yield per run, tracks lots and expiry, and keeps every retailer and co-packing customer straight. Consule implemented NetSuite for Stellar Snacks, a snack manufacturer replacing QuickBooks and a patchwork of tools. For the full picture, stage by stage, read our complete guide to CPG manufacturing in NetSuite.
Recipes that scale to the run. ProShop’s BatchWizard scales recipes to the planned batch and issues actual weights, with mix, bake, and pack as stages of one work order.
Yield per run, not per spec. YieldCraft records dough produced, units baked, and cases packed, so waste and pack-out variance are costed per run and visible per line.
Lots and best-by that drive picking. Expiry on every lot, first-expired-first-out picking, and trace reports for a recall or a retailer query.
Co-packing without a second system. Customer-owned inventory, customer recipes, and tolling invoices handled in NetSuite alongside your own brands.
Lines scheduled around allergens and changeovers. FactorySync sequences runs on shared lines with cleandown and allergen rules built in.
Actual ingredient usage and actual pack-out give a real cost per SKU, by line and by run.
Expiry-driven picking and shelf-life reporting cut write-offs.
EDI documents from the system and deductions reconciled to shipments.
Customer inventory and tolling billed accurately, with the brand owner’s reporting produced from the same data.
