Lasso procurement software tailored for the food and beverages industry addresses the sector’s unique challenges—sourcing perishable goods, ensuring quality compliance, and managing fluctuating demand.

Quality and Safety Compliance:
Embed strict regulations (e.g., FDA, USDA, HACCP) into procurement workflows, ensuring ingredients, packaging, and equipment meet food safety standards. Digital records streamline audits and traceability.

Timely Sourcing of Perishables:
Coordinate procurement of fresh produce, dairy, or meats with production and sales schedules to minimize spoilage. Real-time supplier updates ensure goods arrive fresh and on time.

Cost Control:
Monitor spending on raw materials—like grains, spices, or packaging—against budgets. Analytics identify price fluctuations or bulk savings opportunities, keeping production costs in check.

Supplier Performance Management:
Track vendors for reliability, quality, and pricing consistency (e.g., produce freshness or delivery punctuality). This ensures a dependable supply chain for consistent product output.

Demand-Driven Purchasing:
Use sales forecasts and seasonal trends to adjust procurement dynamically—ordering more for peak seasons (e.g., holidays) or scaling back during lulls, ensuring efficiency.

Reduced Waste:
Order precise quantities based on production needs and shelf-life data, minimizing spoilage of perishables like fruits, vegetables, or dairy products, aligning with sustainability goals.

Enhanced Traceability:
Maintain detailed records of sourced goods—lot numbers, expiration dates, and supplier origins—for quick recalls or quality checks, critical in food safety and customer trust.

Support for Recipe Consistency:
Link procurement to recipes or production specs, ensuring the right ingredients (e.g., organic flour, specific flavorings) are sourced consistently for uniform product quality.

Integration with Production Systems:
Connect procurement software with ERP or manufacturing platforms to align purchasing with batch schedules, menu changes, or packaging needs seamlessly.
