- Food & beverage runs on recipes, batches and shelf life — not simple stock in and out.
- Generic software can't handle formulation, lot traceability, expiry or FSSAI recall needs.
- A custom ERP models your recipes, batches, quality checks and distribution exactly.
- Traceability isn't optional — one contamination recall can sink an unprepared brand.
- Wizix builds a custom F&B ERP from ₹49,999, with AI for demand and shelf-life on top.
Making and selling food is one of the most tightly-controlled businesses there is. Every batch has a recipe, a shelf life, a lot number and a paper trail regulators can ask for. On top of that, raw materials are perishable and demand swings with season and festival. Ordinary inventory software simply wasn't built for this. Food & beverage ERP software handles recipes, batch production, expiry, lot traceability, FSSAI compliance and distribution in one connected system.
Why generic software fails food & beverage
Food manufacturing has requirements a normal trading business never faces:
- No recipe / formulation (BOM) with yield and wastage
- No batch production with batch-wise cost and quality checks
- No expiry / shelf-life tracking or FEFO dispatch
- No lot traceability — raw-material lot to finished batch to customer
- No FSSAI-ready records for audits and recalls
- No handling of perishable procurement and distribution
If a raw-material lot is found contaminated, can you list every finished batch it went into and every customer who received them — in minutes? If not, one recall can become a brand-ending event. Traceability is exactly what an F&B ERP guarantees.
What food & beverage ERP must do
1. Recipe & batch production
- Recipe / formulation (BOM) with yield and wastage norms
- Batch production orders with batch-wise costing
- Quality control checks at receipt, in-process and finished stages
2. Shelf life & traceability
- Expiry / shelf-life tracking with FEFO dispatch
- Full lot traceability — raw lot → batch → customer
- FSSAI-ready records and recall reporting
3. Procurement & distribution
- Perishable raw-material procurement and supplier quality
- Primary and secondary sales, distributor and van sales
- GST billing and stock across depots
Why custom ERP beats off-the-shelf for food makers
A dairy, a snack maker, a beverage plant and a spice processor all have different recipes, quality norms and distribution models. Off-the-shelf products force one template on all of them. Wizix builds a custom ERP around your formulations, quality checks and route-to-market — so it fits your process, batch for batch.
As a custom-ERP and AI partner, Wizix can add AI on top — forecasting demand by season and festival so you produce the right quantity, and optimising production against shelf life to cut waste.
