ERP for Food & Animal Feed: Efficient Batches and Traceability

In the food and animal feed industry, many manufacturers struggle with complex recipe management, fluctuating raw material prices, and rising requirements for quality and traceability. At the same time, processes are often digitized only in isolated areas—leading to media breaks, high coordination effort, and a lack of transparency. 

COSMO ERP Nutrition is an ERP system for the food and animal feed industry that extends Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central specifically with manufacturers’ requirements: recipes, batches, quality assurance, production planning, costing, and documentation access a central database and are mapped end-to-end within the ERP system. 

This provides a clearer overview of costs, quality, and processes, replaces isolated solutions, and reduces manual coordination effort. Thanks to complete traceability, all information is immediately available in a critical situation—from goods receipt to shipping. The data can also be used for audits. 

As a solution within the Microsoft ecosystem, COSMO ERP Nutrition supports scalable end-to-end digitization. Data is maintained centrally in the ERP system, connected using Microsoft Fabric, and analyzed via Power BI. Extensions can be implemented flexibly with the Power Platform. This creates efficient business processes, a solid foundation for IoT scenarios, and the best prerequisites for reliable day-to-day decisions. 

Integrated batch manufacturing in COSMO ERP Nutrition enables structured, end-to-end control of production processes in the food and animal feed industry. Co-products are systematically included, while shelf lives and batch information are consistently carried forward across the entire value chain. 

Demand-oriented, batch-pure material consumption ensures quality when using raw materials. By comparing planned versus actually used ingredients, you benefit from maximum transparency and control of recipes. At the same time, you meet regulatory requirements precisely. Complete traceability of food and animal feed provides a robust data foundation for audits and well-informed decisions. 

With COSMO ERP Nutrition, you create the basis for end-to-end production planning, targeted resource usage, and secure compliance with regulatory requirements. The result: stable processes, transparent cost structures, and food manufacturing software that turns product variety into a competitive advantage—while strengthening trust among customers and authorities through verifiable compliance. 

COSMO ERP Nutrition integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and uses the central ERP data foundation as the basis for all core processes. Media breaks between commercial departments and production-related teams become a thing of the past—everything relevant comes together directly in the ERP for the food and animal feed industry: recipes, batches, inspections, approvals, and planning information. This supports digitization not only in food production, but also in purchasing, logistics, and sales. Company data is always up to date and supports efficient, aligned processes without manual coordination effort. 

And when your requirements grow, COSMO ERP Nutrition remains flexible: embedded in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can add further Microsoft products such as Power Platform, Azure services, Fabric and Power BI, or Microsoft’s leading AI capabilities via Copilot. This creates a scalable platform that not only meets today’s requirements, but also sustainably supports growth, internationalization, and increasing digitization demands.
