Adapting to a Spectrum of Food and Beverage Providers

Shelf Stable Products

QAD solutions for shelf stable food manufacturers help producers get products to the right place at the right time and in the right quantities. Future challenges need a restructured supply chain with integrated planning tools and business systems to help manufacturers choose the right products and streamline product processes to minimize inventory.

Frozen Foods

Frozen food manufacturers require products to be stored and transported at the correct temperature, in controlled environments. With the expanded value chain and a supply chain in flux adding new challenges, QAD can help by offering accountability and traceability solutions that comply with food safety and quality regulations.

Candy and Confections

In the past five years, fat-free candy sales increased by 8%, organic candy by 65% and GMO-free candy sales doubled. To adapt to this while preserving traditional craftsmanship, manufacturers need a system to tackle accountability and traceability issues. QAD provides solutions that ensure compliance with food safety and quality regulations.

Spirits, Wine and Beer

Spirits, wine and beer manufacturers have had to adapt to consumers’ changing buying habits, dramatically changed product offerings and the way the industry forecasts demand and promotions. QAD can help manage the long, ever-changing and intermittent processing steps of this industry while maintaining compliance with strict export regulations.

Fresh Food Products

Perishable raw materials, products with short shelf lives, and changing quality regulations are just a few of the complexities facing producers of fresh food products. QAD helps track and trace products, adapt to changing quality requirements and plan around short shelf lives to deliver products on time, safely and profitably.
