Procure with precision. Reduce waste. Gain total control.
NutraSoft's Purchasing module is tailored for food manufacturers who need more than just basic order tracking. It brings together ingredient forecasting, predictive food waste reduction, and compliance-ready traceability in one seamless workflow—fully integrated with your accounting system.
Traditional purchasing systems don't account for yield loss, spoilage, or expiry dates. NutraSoft does. By combining gross and net quantity forecasting with insights from government ingredient databases, our software helps you buy just what you need—no more, no less.
Whether you're managing local produce, spices, meat, or packaging, NutraSoft ensures that every order supports lean inventory, regulatory compliance, and zero-waste goals.
Calculate gross and net quantity needs based on actual recipe yields and food composition data.
Leverage USDA/Health Canada databases for accurate ingredient forecasting.
Reduce overbuying and spoilage with predictive ingredient planning.
Plan purchasing using predictive ingredient requirements based on actual recipe yields. Automatically calculate gross and net quantity needs—accounting for trimming, cooking loss, or fluid loss—based on USDA/Health Canada food composition data. Reduce overbuying and ingredient spoilage by syncing orders with real-time production plans.
Assign lot numbers and expiry dates upon receiving goods. Maintain traceable inventory from PO to warehouse to production. Align with FEFO (First Expiry First Out) and compliance standards effortlessly.
Seamlessly integrate with QuickBooks and other accounting platforms. Automatic PO sync, bill creation, payment reconciliation, and real-time ledger updates eliminate manual handoffs between operations and accounting.
Flag ingredients with allergenic content during purchasing and automatically push allergen tags to inventory and recipe databases. Support HACCP, SQF, and FSMA workflows by documenting procurement controls.
Require QA sign-off before ingredients are cleared for production. Record batch photos, corrective actions, and supplier issues directly in the PO screen. Automatically quarantine non-compliant ingredients.
Generate barcode labels for ingredients and packaging at the time of receipt. Scan incoming goods into inventory with Zebra Label Designer or mobile scanning tools. Ensure traceability and fast stock retrieval using lot-aware barcodes.
