“Prodio helps to improve the production process. Our customers can log into the B2B panel to check the progress of their orders”.
Guido Vreuls Company Owner
We have been using Prodio for more than one year, making work in our printing house much more efficient. Graphic designers can work much faster, so the progress on all projects is rapid. The communication between the sales reps and the shop floor has improved. We are also able to control orders and complaints. What’s crucial for me is that the implementation itself was straightforward. The workers could learn how the software works quickly, so they didn’t protest against changes.

The food and beverage industry isn’t the most straightforward business to run. There are numerous legal requirements for food safety, making product traceability essential. While starting, you might manage with pen and paper or Excel spreadsheets for some time. This becomes more complicated for several reasons as your manufacturing company grows or during periods of high demand. Even one typo or failure to update a spreadsheet can have heavy consequences, and it only takes one untraceable faulty ingredient batch to inflate your costs dramatically. This happens because manual processing and paper manufacturing management methods are error-prone. Instead of working with pen and paper, print a clear manufacturing order with just one click. Prodio ensures it will have all the necessary completion parameters there, and, as a bonus, you get bar codes, so work registration is even faster.

As a food manufacturer or a coffee roaster, you also need to know what you have in stock, how soon the work needs to start, what’s committed to orders, and when they need to be shipped. In short, you don’t want to manage it all with only a spreadsheet or, worse, a paper notepad!
Prodio manufacturing software helps with batch tracking, so you can follow the progress of each batch of products, and product recipe, so you’ll always have control over what’s required for every speciality coffee product, beverage or food product you stock and sell. Without the right data to trace a faulty batch, you would need to recall all your products, resulting in higher production costs and upset customers, potentially damaging your business’ reputation.
Prodio also supports batch and expiry date tracking, ensuring industry compliance and total visibility when tracking your perishable stock from materials to finished products.
With our moving average cost feature, you can also keep track of your outgoings, which will help you track your spending on ingredients over time.

For example: instead of creating a product and technology for each ordered item, prepare its template with the whole technological process, operations, machines, and step-by-step procedures as well as expected efficiency.
When the Client orders an additional batch, you choose this item, and in new boxes, add any special requests, flavouring, allergens, packaging or method of delivery.
When you move very fast from order to order, making the whole process as easy as possible is essential.

1. What is best to write down and set as “product” in Prodio:
If you regularly make-to-stock products, it is good to create a product database. Add technology, raw materials and documents if you make-to-order products creat the Product template, which can be customised at each stage. Add technology to a product – the work will automatically be divided into suitable machines/operations. You will be able to change the technology when planning a manufacturing order. Remember, you can duplicate it to use later while preparing another order.
2. Production plan – what can you set as machines/operations?
Add all machines you use on your production floor (by name), and manual operations. You can also set as Machines/Operations your workers - each of them will have the list of tasks (it works well with simple processes and micro-production)
3. Production schedule – tips regarding displaying and planning
Make sure you show only important information needed to complete manufacturing tasks. Customise your production schedule in Settings. Use operation predecessors to know which tasks are ready to continue work, so the second operation can’t be started if the previous oone is not finished.
4. Additional boxes worth adding for your branch:
Wide variety depending on what you do 🙂 For orders: Packaging method Storage method Delivery method Sell-by-date Possible allergens
