Challenge
Nutaste a leading manufacturer of packaged food materials such as sauces and creams, faced significant challenges in their manufacturing processes. The company’s manual methods for inventory management, production planning, and financial tracking were cumbersome and prone to errors. With an expanding product line and growing customer demands, they struggled to maintain efficiency and accuracy across their operations.
Lack of real-time visibility into inventory levels, production schedules, and financial data hampered decision-making and hindered their ability to respond swiftly to market changes.
