Meat Distribution Software: 5 Important Features for Your Business

by bista-admin
Nov 27, 2018
0
Category: Meat processing ERP, Meat processing industry, OptoMeat

As a meat distributor, you deal with the typical difficulties of the distribution industry: significant competition, the need for reliable shipping, and the demand to produce high-quality, well-priced goods. However, because meat is perishable, and because it can become spoiled or contaminated, having an effective meat distribution software is even more important.

For example, to comply with regulatory bodies (such as the USDA and FDA if you’re based in the US), you’ll need systems in place for the prevention of accidental/intentional contaminations of the food supply.

Meanwhile, you’ll also need methods to respond to potential recalls for your products. After all, prevention, though important, is not foolproof.

What qualities make a strong meat distribution software then that will help you run your business reliably?

Meat Inventory Tracking System

As a distributor, the core of your business software will be your meat inventory tracking system. You need to have complete inventory visibility, which involves the knowledge of:

Amounts of all items/types of items
Their locations within the warehouse
Which warehouse items are located in
Meat stock coming in from suppliers
Meat stock exiting to be shipped to customers

Log and/or serial # tracking enable this visibility, by ensuring that each item/group of items is properly accounted for. Additionally, barcode scanner integration makes this process easier for your workers.

Quality Control

Your meat distribution software needs to be able to deal with quality as well. An effective quality control module will allow you to run checks at the cutoffs of your choice. For example, you may want to run a quality check at the point of delivery of items from your supplier. This may involve a temperature check, leakage checks, and other measures.

You can also make these checks mandatory to ensure a reliable and safe product. This will lead to more satisfaction (and less dissatisfaction) from regulators, resellers, and the final consumers.

Shelf Life of Meat Inventory

Also relevant to quality, your meat distribution software should track shelf life and expiry date information. For one reason, you may want to run extra quality checks for items nearing the end of their life.

In addition, something we’ve done at Bista Solutions while working with companies in the meat industry is instituting a First-Expiry-First-Out (FEFO) inventory system. By tracking expiry dates, FEFO means that products set to expire first are also shipped first. This can be integrated with your warehouse setting and picking processes so that items coming in from suppliers are set in the right places, and so that items being shipped out are picked appropriately.

By using a FEFO system, you’ll reduce waste and become more cost-effective.

Fleet Management

After getting inventory out, you’ll want a proper hold of your fleet management. It’s important to know what inventory was shipped out, and also know whether items are delivered on time, whether the conditions of storage are good, and more.

Potential Recalls

No one wants recalls to happen, which is why we take important account of the methods of prevention above. But in case such an event does occur, preparation is also important.

Inventory traceability is key here. When you discover that particular items have problems, you need to be able to figure out which suppliers those products came from, in case the problem is located there.

In case the problem is located in your business, you also need proper tracking of your own systems. Did you run your quality checks properly? Do you need to make any changes to your systems? Answering such questions will help you prevent such problems in the future.

The proper meat distribution software will help you identify where the problem was located, and act appropriately.

Is OptoMeat Right for You?

After working with companies in the meat industry, Bista Solutions has developed a software called OptoMeat that satisfies the above needs and more. OptoMeat provides complete inventory visibility and tracking through lot/serial #’s. It has a quality check system as well as promotional offer handling and meat processing features if your operations extend to processing. Finally, it has fantastic dashboards, so that managers and decision-makers can get a bird’s eye view of these different processes.

Odoo IoT: Take Advantage of the Internet of Things for Your Business

by bista-admin

Category: Odoo IoT

Odoo is disrupting the ERP community by jumping into IoT (Internet of Things) technology. The new Odoo IoT module turns the software into an out-of-the-box solution with IoT integration.

Additionally, the IoT box, designed to connect gadgets to the core platform, extends the reach of ERP software to an even wider audience and with increasing capabilities. With this innovation, Odoo is poised to accelerate its market acquisition of mid-size enterprises and also help smaller businesses get on board.

In this blog, we’ll explain what the Internet of Things is, how Odoo IoT and the Odoo IoT box enable you to use it, and what additional services Bista Solutions offers so you shine above your competition.

The Internet of Things

The Internet of things refers to the network of everyday objects (cars, refrigerators, watches, etc.) being used to improve our day-to-day lives and business processes. In contrast to objects such as computer, tablets, and phones, we’d never normally associate these items with an internet connection. Nevertheless, when granted that capability along with sensors and other tools to capture information, such objects create many advantages. These include the:

Reduction of human labor
Generation of insights from data collection
Automation of functions based on data inputs

For an enterprise to gain these benefits, they need to collect and store the data somewhere it can be used functionally. The ERP system is the best solution since it is the centralized platform the business uses for its activities. With the right data connected to the right processes, companies can take advantage of the Internet of things, and the Odoo IoT module accomplishes just this.

Odoo IoT: What It Is, How It Works, and How You Can Use It

Odoo IoT is Odoo’s latest module, released with Version 12. It allows you to make functional use of IoT devices to enhance your business. But first of course, you have to connect those devices to your ERP system. That’s where the IoT Box comes in.

Odoo IoT Box:

The Odoo IoT Box is a small box, with a Raspberry Pi in it, that makes it easier for you to connect IoT devices to Odoo.

Connecting devices to an ERP system is often difficult. Many of the devices in question will not have an internet connection, and even if they do, they will not automatically integrate with your ERP. The IoT Box solves this by serving as a middle point between your devices and your Odoo ERP system.

The IoT Box connects to Odoo through an ethernet cable or Wi-Fi. Odoo detects the boxes, and you can easily configure them through your browser.

As for the devices, the IoT box allows for multiple input connections, such as USB, Bluetooth, HDMI, and Wi-Fi. This way, whatever connection the device has, you can likely connect it.

Of course, if your specific device does not meet these formats, you can contact Odoo or an Odoo partner to develop the driver for your needs.

Odoo IoT Module:

Once you have your IoT devices connected to your system, Odoo really starts to shine. After all, Odoo is a suite of interconnected applications. And just like the rest of its applications, the Odoo IoT module works hand-in-hand with its other modules, so that you can easily incorporate your IoT devices into your business processes.

One example of this is lean manufacturing. Odoo IoT allows you to integrate machines and tools into your manufacturing processes and reduce labor significantly. For example, during quality control, you may want to take a measurement with a caliper, take a picture with a camera, or perhaps use another tool. With the Odoo IoT integration, when you reach the appropriate step, you can take the relevant action with your tool, and the measurement/image will automatically be entered/stored within your ERP.

Odoo makes this really easy to configure. For the examples above, once your devices are connected to your IoT Box, all you have to do is go into the module in question to set it up. In this case, you go to the Quality module, select the process, find the particular step concerned, and then select the dropdown for “Device.” You select the device associated with that step and save.

Another example Odoo gives is if you want to use a foot switch during your manufacturing process to move to the next step. To configure in this case, you go to the Manufacturing module, go into the Settings for a particular work order, click on “IoT triggers”, select the foot switch as the device, and add in the action corresponding to the ‘Next Step.’

Both of these are examples of IoT integration being used to reduce human labor. But other benefits can be attained with further customization.

Customization with Bista Solutions

Even if your proposed IoT integration is not an out-of-the-box capability for Odoo IoT, Bista Solutions can create and customize a solution for Odoo that meets your needs. After all, the Internet of things is broader than just the manufacturing/quality control examples given above. It also applies to sensors, cars, home devices, and more.

Maybe your products need repairs periodically, and you want to prevent them from going bad. One solution is to embed sensors in the device that communicate when the product is nearing the repair date. With the proper ERP integration, you can generate automatic repair notifications, and repair the product before anything goes wrong.

Maybe, instead, you want to automate inventory refills. You can lay out sensors in your store or warehouse that communicate how many items are on the shelves. When those items reach a certain minimum, they trigger a notification in your ERP system and automate inventory replenishment.

Here are some other IoT applications Bista can help with:

Automobiles
Agriculture, e.g. temperature, rainfall, soil data collection
Healthcare, e.g. remote health monitoring
Home automation
Infrastructure, e.g. automated repairs
Retail, e.g. store location services
Transportation, e.g. asset location monitoring

When integrated with Odoo ERP, these can automate services and generate insights for better decision-making. The possibilities are endless.

OpenERP: Odoo OpenERP Origin, Benefits, and More

Category: Odoo OpenERP, Open ERP Software

OpenERP (now known as Odoo) is a popular open-source ERP software used globally by thousands of organizations. The software serves as one solution for your entire business, covering activities such as Sales, CRM, Accounting, Inventory, Project Management, Manufacturing, eCommerce, and more. However, OpenERP/Odoo offers many additional advantages, including:

Low cost of implementation
High customizability
Easy integration
Modular architecture
Innovative
Scalable
Easy UI
Automation
Highly Scalable
More than 50 inbuild applications
Easy to support
Fully cloud-based

As open-source software, OpenERP is extremely customizable and easy to integrate with other software. Partners can, therefore, tailor the solution to fit a client’s industry and unique requirements.

In addition, Odoo OpenERP has a powerful ecosystem of partners and developers. Every year, the company incorporates the best features from both these groups, as well as from its team, into its new version. In this manner, OpenERP gains the right combination of creativity and real-world business application to improve its product.

OpenERP/Odoo also has a very low cost of implementation, with inexpensive to no licensing fees (depending on whether you use their Community or Enterprise versions). Its modular architecture also allows you to choose which modules are needed for your company, and implement those alone. Finally, the software is highly scalable and has a very user-friendly interface.

History of OpenERP:

Fabien Pinckaers, Founder and CEO of OpenERP/Odoo, created the software back in 2005. It was originally called TinyERP, changed to OpenERP around 2007, and then changed to Odoo OpenERP around 2012.

One of the reasons for the name change to Odoo was that the company wanted a brand free of restrictions. ERP had a brand of being one defined product, while Odoo was offering a suite of different modules that could all work well together. In addition, many of the company’s newer modules, such as website management, were not typical of ERP software at all.

Odoo has exploded in growth in recent years. Today, the company serves over 4 million users, is translated into over 32 languages, and is used in over 120 countries.

This past October, the software’s latest version, Odoo V12, was released. It has spectacular features, such as new Document Management modules and IoT modules, as well as IP-address-based lead generation and multi-website management.

Bista Solutions as OpenERP Partner

Bista Solutions was created in 2007 and has been partnered with OpenERP/Odoo since the very beginning. We’ve worked with hundreds of companies during that time, in industries such as:

Manufacturing
Retail
Services
eCommerce
Automotive and auto parts
Business Financial Services
Education
Healthcare
Telecom

We’re also a Gold-Level Odoo partner. We are an award-winning Odoo Partner.

Category: Odoo 12, Odoo Benefits

In his keynote speech at Odoo Experience this year, Odoo CEO & Founder Fabien Pinckaers finally unveiled Odoo 12. And while we’ve discussed some of the new features before, in this post, we’ll discuss the benefits for businesses as we go over the highlights of his speech.

Highlights:

New Document Management module – easily store and send documents to sign within Odoo, without email hassle
Accounting – integrate with a bank account and update bank statements with the click of a button
Marketing & Sales – generate qualified leads based on website visitors’ IP addresses
E-commerce – manage multiple websites straight from Odoo, with payment buttons, ERP connection, etc. all included
IoT – connect and manage IoT devices and configure with processes
Miscellaneous

Keep on reading for fuller explanations of these amazing Odoo 12 benefits, as well as screenshots. You can also find the video presentation of Pinckaers down at the bottom. Finally, if you’re interested in implementing Odoo 12, don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Let’s dive in:

Document Management:

As we mentioned last time, one of the new modules in Odoo 12 is the Document Management module. It was released and removed back in Version 8, and is now coming back stronger than ever.

The new module allows businesses to easily share files within their company. Whether this is internal videos for the company or other documents, this eases communication greatly.

For example, if an employee needs to get a quotation signed by a manager, the quotation can be generated within Odoo, sent to the manager within Odoo, signed by the manager within Odoo, and sent back to the employee with Odoo. The employee can then easily print and email the document to the customer. This saves huge amounts of hassle and makes the business process that much more efficient.

● Document management system:
– You can organize your documents in a manner as per your business processes.

● Paperless administrative tasks using sign and DMS.
– Easily share documents with different users.
– Easily apply signature and archive documents.
– You can design the document, add the relevant information and sign the document so it reduces the time of paperwork.

● Request for documents from the activity window so that anytime anywhere users can ask for missing documents.
– Ability to ask for a specific document from any screen.
– Ability to define the destination folder of the requested document from the request itself.

● AI technology in document processing:
– OCR for importing invoices for different formats.
– Have an option to select the field from that document to clarify which value is for which field.

Accounting:

Perhaps the most significant upgrade to an existing module comes to the Accounting system. Odoo 12 benefits companies by making it easier to synchronize with bank accounts and update bank statements. Odoo now integrates with 5,000 banks, so your business will likely be assisted.

● Integration with 5000 banks :

– Synchronize your bank account with your system in one click.
– Update your bank statements automatically

Odoo 12 also comes automatically with tax localization, etc. for businesses in 12 countries. This reduces businesses’ reliance on customization for localization features, though, of course, Odoo’s great adaptability allows it to be modified even in such situations where the localization is not already present.

● Localization with Odoo 12 in the following countries
○ EU Countries
○ France
○ Belgium
○ Germany
○ Spain
○ India
○ the Netherlands
○ Mexico
○ Switzerland
○ the United States
○ Canada
○ China
○ Singapore
○ Colombia.

Marketing & Sales:

The marketing and sales modules in Odoo have been powerful for a long time, but Odoo 12 pushes it above and beyond anything we’ve seen before: it now allows you to generate leads using the IP addresses of your website visitors.

As Pinckaers states, “You know what is the number one problem of any sales department? Leads. Every salesperson I know, tell you ‘I want more leads. I want qualified leads. These are not qualified enough.’ We always want more leads, because the leads are at the source of your growth in time.”

As such, this huge Odoo 12 benefit allows your company to find leads from one of the best places to find them: the visitors to your website.

You can set rules such as the industry of business, the company role of the contact you are looking for, and so forth. Based on these rules, the system will identify the IP addresses of your website visitors, match them to the companies they are from, and find contacts from those companies based on that info.

● Lead generation rules depending on your website visitors’ IP.
– All your website visitors’ data will be captured and create new leads.

– You can categorize your leads before generation.

● Customer creation in Odoo will pull out all the information about the company like a total employees, Estimated Annual revenue, etc.
– Odoo 12 turns data into information, and information into insights!
– Odoo will automatically provide all available details about the new contacts you have recently created.

● Product configurator in the sales quotations.
– In a sales order, the user can define more details about the product.

● Boost your sales with the advanced dashboard
– Advanced dashboard gives a better analysis which enables you to make better decisions.

E-Commerce:

The new ability to manage multiple websites on Odoo 12 benefits many businesses, but is especially useful for eCommerce. eCommerce companies can manage multiple websites from Odoo, and also have proper payment integration, shipping integration, and connectivity with the rest of their ERP system for every website.

● Multi website is available now with Odoo 12.

● Website new features:

– New building blocks to design beautiful web pages.
– Crop image tool while designing a webpage.

● Dashboard design like Google Analytics UX
● Advanced dashboard for every application

● Many new shipping connectors have been added.
● Shipping connectors print labels, contact the carrier, and send tracking links to the customer.

Internet of Things:

The internet of things is at the forefront of technology growth in the world. Odoo 12 now allows connectivity and management of IoT devices. This is a very exciting step forward.

● Connecting Software with Machines & Workers is a huge challenge but Odoo now has IoT with Version 12.
○ IoT devices connected with the manufacturing processes to boost them.
○ In manufacturing steps, you can define a machine for each step and the user can use the machines at that specific time in combination with Odoo

Instant Quoting Software for Manufacturing Businesses

Generate Quotations in Real-time for Your Manufacturing Company

Generating quotations in the manufacturing industry can be a long and meticulous process, often involving significant man-hours, back-and-forth communication, and complex calculations. Delays here can result in lost business for your company. Given this, quoting software for manufacturing is extremely valuable.

Bista offers a quotation solution that allows your customers to get a precise quote within seconds after filling out a form online and submitting a CAD file. That way, you reduce labor, reduce errors, and most importantly, increase sales coming to your business. Let’s go into more detail:

Problem #1: Employee-Client Extended Interaction

One of the main reasons quote creation in manufacturing takes so long is because it involves multiple interactions between your salespeople and their clients. This process usually starts with an email or phone call. If all the information is not collected in the first go, it often results in a string of back-and-forth calls/emails until all the requirements are finally gathered.

This drawn-out process delays the quote response, and also takes away valuable time that salespeople could use to generate more clients.

Problem #2: Multiple Manufacturing Software

As a manufacturer, it’s likely that multiple software is involved in the creation of your products. For example, you may use CAD files for your designs, as well as to help generate your manufacturing bill of materials (BOM).

Additionally, you may be using nesting software. Nesting software such as NestFab, SigmaNEST, and others, optimize the use of raw materials in your manufacturing processes. By inputting CAD files for various products that need to be produced, you can find the optimum way to use the area on sheets of metal or other materials, to manufacture those items.

Because of this, the generation of quotes often requires multiple data points, all of which cannot be found on any one system. It requires information from CAD files regarding the BOM as well as the design itself. It also requires the cost of each material, likely found in your ERP system. Finally, if you use nesting software, it requires parameters from there detailing how best to optimize the area on the material.

If this software is not integrated, your employees likely have to maneuver through each different software, gather the relevant information from there, plug it into an excel chart and do the calculation. Additionally, your salespeople may not even have direct access to the software involved, so they may have to make requests to other departments, which can take even longer.

However, with instant quoting software for manufacturing that integrates these different parts, you can produce quotes automatically, instantly, and without any employee intervention.

The Solution: A Look at a Current Case Study

In one of its current projects, Bista Solutions has created a manufacturing estimating software solution for a waterjet manufacturer. The company receives requests from other businesses to manufacture items, and the quote process, as outlined further above, could be very lengthy and drawn out. Bista provided a three-way integration between CAD files, NestFab, and Odoo ERP to provide instantaneous quotes.

The instant quote process takes place as follows:

The customer fills out their requirements (e.g., type of material, type of finish, thickness, quantity, etc.) on a web portal, and submits with a CAD file.
The CAD file is sent via the nesting integration to the nesting software.
The nesting software returns back parameters such as surface area, cut distance, and entry points.
Using the nesting parameters, the BOM created from the CAD file, and its own material cost information, the ERP system runs the calculation and provides the quote to the customer.

In such a manner, Bista has turned a difficult and laborious process into an automated, instantaneous solution.

Benefits

What are the benefits of using this instant quoting software for manufacturing? They include:

Reduced labor
Reduced errors
Faster quote response
Larger sales volume

In business, whether you’re in manufacturing or in any other industry, spending too long on giving a quote is a surefire way to lose customers. Customers will lose interest, assume you’re unqualified, and/or find a competitor who can provide a quote more quickly.

In business, whether you’re in manufacturing or in any other industry, spending too long on giving a quote is a surefire way to lose customers

Therefore, automating this system for immediate quotes allows you to increase sales volume coming in. As the fastest in your industry, you will take customers from your competitors, rather than the other way around.

Manufacturing Automation

With Instant quoting software for manufacturing in place, Bista Solutions can then automate the company’s manufacturing process. After the quote is sent to the customer, the customer then accepts or rejects the quote. If he accepts, then the quotation can automatically generate the relevant work order, with routings, BOM, etc. built in and manufacturing can begin.

In fact, if the current inventory is not enough, the system can even initiate procurement. Because every part of the production process is tied together within the ERP system, the entire order -> manufacturing -> shipping cycle can be automated as a result of a confirmed quotation.

The process takes place as follows:

The client sends CAD files and requirements.
ERP sends CAD files via nesting integration to nesting software.
Nesting software returns parameters.
ERP system calculates and sends quotes.
The client accepts the quote and makes payment.
The ERP system checks inventory.
If an inventory is available, the ERP system generates a work order.
If the inventory is not available, the ERP system generates a purchase order and the needed inventory is procured. This then generates a work order.
Manufacturing begins.

Thus, the instant quoting solution not only provides a quote in real-time to the customer but can also automate the inventory procurement and manufacturing for the product afterward.

If you want to generate more sales faster, give us a call. Bista can provide nesting/CAD software integration, or other software integrations clients need in order to generate the full quote instantly and automate the manufacturing process. Contact us today!
