ERP software for the bakery, snacks, and confectionery industry
Efficiently manage continual changes to demand, ingredient availability, consumer trends and regulations
Get the software capabilities you need—baked in
Having fresh-baked products on the shelf every day is critical to most baked goods manufacturers. Demand varies by day of the week and season, and ingredient prices and certifications can vary significantly impacting margins and potentially the specification of the product. From regional bakeries to global baked goods, snacks, and confectionery suppliers, Infor provides the most powerful, purpose-built, and complete suite of solutions developed specifically to meet the needs of your industry.
As a fast-growing company, speed is important to us. We chose a cloud platform so that we don’t have to waste time managing our own software or applying patches and upgrades. Our lean IT team focuses instead on driving innovation projects, especially around business analytics and decision making.
