Production Management

Production Planning & Scheduling Software

FlexiBake's user-friendly production planning software allows your food and beverage business to manage a fast-paced production setting and plan ahead.

Automate scheduling and eliminate bottlenecks
Reduce errors with real-time data tracking
Stay compliant with industry regulations
Optimize resources and cut waste
Ensure on-time production and delivery

Poor scheduling and manual tracking often cause production delays, wasted materials, and compliance issues. A robust ERP system eliminates that, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and complete visibility over operations.

From small-batch orders to large-scale manufacturing, production scheduling software for manufacturing streamlines every step — keeping you on track without the stress.

Benefits of Production Management

An efficient production management system goes beyond keeping operations running — it optimizes, predicts, and adapts them. FlexiBake helps manufacturers anticipate shifting demand, minimize errors, and make data-driven decisions.

Run Multiple Reports With Real-Time Updates

Production data is only helpful if accurate and accessible. Real-time reporting allows manufacturers to monitor changes instantly, reduce human errors, and respond faster to disruptions.

Up-to-the-minute insights mean fewer delays and better decision-making — without the frustration of outdated spreadsheets.

  • Monitor production changes instantly without waiting for manual updates
  • Reduce human errors with automated tracking and reporting
  • Respond faster to disruptions, material shortages, or unexpected demand shifts

Manage Large Product Catalogs & Lead Times With Ease

Juggling dozens (or hundreds) of SKUs shouldn’t be a guessing game. With integrated planning software, manufacturers can streamline scheduling, track lead times, and adjust plans on the fly.

No more miscalculations, lost inventory, or missed deadlines — just smooth, organized workflows.

  • Streamline product scheduling for diverse product lines
  • Track lead times to prevent shortages and avoid last-minute scrambling
  • Adjust production plans on the fly to match actual demand

Complicated Recipes, Simplified

Batch processing and ingredient tracking managed manually is a challenge. FlexiBake simplifies formula management with version control, batch adjustments, and automatic ingredient calculations.

Production is simple when you link inventory to the recipe and include details such as waste percentages and special instructions.

  • Version control to track recipe adjustments
  • Batch adjustments for real-time modifications
  • Automatic ingredient calculations for consistent production

Optimize Resource Allocation & Minimize Waste

Every wasted ingredient, machine hour, or unplanned labor shift cuts into profitability. The software tracks raw materials, allocates labor efficiently, and monitors machine efficiency.

A well-planned production process isn’t just about keeping things running — it’s about running smarter, faster, and cost-effectively.

  • Track raw materials and work-in-progress to prevent spoilage and excess inventory
  • Allocate labor efficiently to avoid overtime and scheduling conflicts
  • Monitor machine efficiency to reduce downtime and maximize output

Forecasting Tools Give You a Competitive Edge

Production planning should be proactive, not reactive. Demand forecasting and predictive analytics help align production with demand.

Intelligent forecasting means fewer last-minute surprises and more predictive profitability.

  • Anticipate production needs based on historical and real-time data
  • Minimize waste by aligning production with demand
  • Optimize inventory levels to prevent overstocking or shortages

Advantages of Production Scheduling

FlexiBake’s scheduling software assists manufacturers in making every step more efficient, transparent, and compliant.

Integrated Label Designer for Full Traceability

Labels ensure traceability, compliance, and efficiency. The built-in tool creates labels with UPC codes, nutritional facts, ingredient statements, lot numbers, expiration dates, and more.

Every item, from raw materials to finished goods, is tracked, documented, and ready for distribution.

  • Create labels with UPC codes, nutritional facts, ingredient statements, lot numbers, expiration dates, and more
  • Ensure compliance with industry regulations and retail requirements
  • Automate label generation to match production output

Drag-and-Drop Scheduling for Instant Adjustments

Manually shifting production timelines is eliminated. FlexiBake’s scheduling calendar allows easy timeline adjustments, task prioritization, and real-time sync across teams.

Your production stays on schedule — even when things change at the last minute.

  • Easily adjust production timelines with a simple drag-and-drop interface
  • Prioritize urgent tasks to avoid bottlenecks
  • Sync schedules in real-time across teams and departments

Effortless Reporting: BOMs, WIPs, Work Orders & Costs

Generating BOMs, work orders, and cost breakdowns shouldn’t be a manual chore. All reports are stored in a centralized dashboard.

All reports are stored in a centralized dashboard, making them easy to access when you need them.

  • Create BOMs automatically to standardize production
  • Generate work orders in one click to keep teams aligned
  • Analyze costs and materials usage for better budgeting

Instant Lot Tracking for Raw Materials, WIPs & Finished Products

Food manufacturing requires precise inventory control for efficiency, compliance, and safety. FlexiBake tracks raw material and WIP consumption in real-time and links finished goods to lot numbers.

Whether you’re facing an audit or tracing a batch issue, production planning software for manufacturing provides instant visibility.

  • Tracks raw material and work-in-progress consumption in real-time
  • Automatically updates inventory levels as production runs
  • Links finished goods to lot numbers for complete traceability

Built-In Compliance for HACCP, FSMA, BRC & More

Regulatory compliance is non-negotiable. FlexiBake automates reports for SQF, BRC, ISO, GFSI, CFIA, HACCP, FSMA, and BRC standards, ensures full traceability, and provides real-time audit trails.

With compliance built directly into production workflows, staying audit-ready has never been easier.

  • Automating reports for SQF, BRC, ISO, GFSI, CFIA, HACCP, FSMA, and BRC standards
  • Ensuring full traceability from raw materials to distribution
  • Providing real-time audit trails to meet industry requirements
