Aras has done it again.  A new Formula & Recipe Management solution based on the Aras Innovator PLM suite provides food and beverage companies an end-to-end PLM solution, with the greatest flexibility on the market today. And like only Aras can do, it’s all available with no PLM license fees.

Every business sector faces unique challenges. For food and beverage companies consumer inspection is at the forefront. In 2011, the emphasis on ingredients, health and safety, and quality has never been greater. 

From organic salsas to packaged pastas, consumers want to know where their food products come from, what they contain, and if they can trust the companies they’re buying from.  At the same time, manufacturers are faced with ever-narrowing margins, stringent regulations, and increasing requests for ways to interact with consumers.

How then can these businesses effectively manage project portfolios, specifications and packaging while providing equal attention to supplier management, keeping secret formulas “secret”, and providing visibility to the extended enterprise and compliance? I’m exhausted just writing about it! 

Enter Aras Innovator with a new, socially-developed Community Solution for Formula & Recipe Management.

Watch the video below to learn how companies across the globe are able to provide delicious recipes and top quality products, AND rapidly respond to consumer and regulatory agencies, manage suppliers, reduce maintenance, and pump out new products faster than ever before. 

I don’t want to give it all away, but be sure to hit up Darryl at PSC to learn more, including how integrating PLM with your ERP or scan-on-the-screen dynamically generated barcodes and QR codes can help your business go the extra step and get all critical business info under control.
