The outstanding features of SmartBiz production management software
Like other production management systems, it has features including BOM and materials management, production planning, quality control and cost management - so what is special about the SmartBiz production management system?
The SmartBiz processing production management application has 3 standout points:
First:
the application is integrated with ERP software - including purchase, sales, inventory and accounting apps - and with production stations, also called ‘POP’, at the processing points.
The production stations are integrated with electronic scales and label printers to record quantities of materials and finished goods and print lot and serial numbers for finished goods… This makes managing materials and finished goods fast and accurate and increases the efficiency of production management.
Second:
It ties production workers' activities to data collection, so information is updated instantly, ensuring authenticity, transparency and real-time data while reducing and avoiding errors in data collection.
Third:
It processes and analyzes data automatically
Data collected at the production station is automatically updated in the ERP software - manufacturing order status, quantities of materials and finished goods, production time… - and production costs such as materials, labor and machinery are calculated automatically, while this information is updated in the financial system.

Specifically:
When a manufacturing order is created, a transfer order moving materials from the materials warehouse to the production warehouse is created automatically in the ERP software.
On the production station screen, the system has automatically synchronized the manufacturing order from the ERP software to the POP, providing information on manufacturing orders, quantities to produce, the components and materials used, actual quantities used and other related information.
Before starting production, production workers update the quantity of materials issued for production directly on the POP screen.
When products are made, they are graded by quality into different classes based on quality standards. Production workers enter the quality information into the POP. The system then labels which class the product belongs to and stores this information in the production management system.
A receipt order is then also created automatically and classified by finished goods quality - grade 1, grade 2, scrap (if any), etc. - to be received into the corresponding warehouses. At the same time, the system automatically calculates production costs such as materials, labor and machinery, and updates this information in the financial system to manage costs and profit effectively.

Mr. Dung, Production Manager at True Foods, said:
SmartBiz production management selected by the Digital Economy channel to present to businesses
We chose and use SmartBiz production management software because the system is integrated and automated. Previously we managed production in Excel files from processing orders, tracking materials and finished goods received and issued for processing, which took time, data wasn't timely and was sometimes inaccurate. But since using food production management software integrated with electronic scales to record quantities of materials and finished goods, manufacturing orders, material issue/receipt orders and finished goods receipts are all handled automatically in the software. The system also automatically calculates production costs such as materials and labor... which makes warehouse management accurate and reliable.
Conclusion
So it can be said that smart production management tools and software bring many benefits to food processing and manufacturing businesses, from optimizing production processes to managing data, and from greater competitiveness to higher revenue. With the distinctive features of the food processing production management system SmartBiz helps effectively solve the industry's common problems of accuracy, timeliness and automation. If you are managing production manually or your current software falls short, this is the system for you.
