Food distribution is one of the top industries where ACCTivate! solves inventory, distribution and business management needs, and also handles unique requirements such as lot number control, catch weights and process manufacturing.

Lot Number Traceability
Product recall is a part of life for those in the food business and being able to trace lot numbered products down to the specific customers that purchased them and provide the FDA required information is a huge plus. Lot number traceability can save businesses and lives. ACCTivate! enables companies to have control over lot numbered products. Expiration dates can be recorded and managed by lot number and in the event of recall companies can produce a list of all customers to whom the recalled lots were shipped.

Catch Weights
ACCTivate! supports catch weight pricing for food distributors that have products, such as meat, seafood and cheese that vary in weight from piece to piece. The system enables these distributors to sell by piece, but price by weight. Weight may be entered by the piece, the case or in total for the invoice line and printed on the invoice in the same detail.

Process Manufacturing
Food process manufacturing is supported by ACCTivate! through functionality that manages the design, specifications and batch production of recipe based products. Specifically, process manufacturers can easily handle conditional recipe variations, record the actual ingredients used at time of production, automatically maintain the traceability of ingredient and product batch/lot numbers and record the resulting yield quantity.  

Several food businesses use ACCTivate! and have found it to be a great solution to meet their inventory requirements and those needs specific to their industry.
