Food industry software for safety, efficiency, and visibility

COSMO CONSULT connects processes for food and feed manufacturers in one integrated Microsoft landscape, giving you traceability, product safety, and reliable decisions based on a central data foundation.

End-to-end thinking with advanced AI technology: software for the food and feed industry

Fluctuating demand, strict hygiene requirements, and the pressure to document every batch without gaps: in the food and feed industry, nothing runs on autopilot. If data does not flow cleanly, product quality becomes harder to protect. Intelligent software for the food and feed industry helps eliminate inefficiencies across your business processes. What matters most is how well your data works together. That is how you break down data silos and protect quality with confidence. 

With COSMO CONSULT as your partner, you start exactly there. We tightly connect your core processes with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (ERP) and create a central hub for your business. Your processes work together seamlessly, creating an end-to-end process flow with Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, Microsoft Copilot, the Microsoft Azure Cloud, and Microsoft Power BI. 

The result: full transparency, smoother audits, and complete control across your value chain. Your ERP system evolves from a basic administrative tool into a strategic digital foundation for transparent, secure, and efficient processes. 

There are plenty of challenges. Here is how we solve them.

Your challenge
Product solution
Your challenge
Media breaks and disconnected systems make end-to-end processes harder and increase error rates.
Product solution
End-to-end integration: COSMO CONSULT connects ERP, CRM, mobile and shop floor data capture (MDC/FDC), and business intelligence (BI). Data flows seamlessly across processes, reducing error sources and enabling faster, more reliable decisions.
Your challenge
Traceability and strict EU requirements demand complete documentation from raw materials to the shelf.
Product solution
Complete traceability: our digital solutions let you trace batches end to end. This minimizes liability risks and protects trust in your brand.
Your challenge
End-to-end quality assurance is complex, but essential for meeting all relevant quality and industry requirements.
Product solution
Integrated quality control and quality management: automated test data capture, certificate generation, and integrated quality management help ensure product quality, audit-ready processes, and lower risk.
Your challenge
Sensitive formulas in cloud operations require the highest standards for data security and compliance. Without the right safeguards, you risk losing proprietary know-how and facing regulatory exposure.
Product solution
Hosting in the Microsoft Azure Cloud plus technical and organizational security measures: security by design, encryption, access control, and GDPR-compliant processes protect your data, including backups and recovery.
Your challenge
Data is trapped in silos, from food hygiene monitoring to contaminants and residues, and is not available for cross-functional analysis.
Product solution
Shared data foundation: data is consolidated centrally in the ERP system. This enables automated data analysis and informed decisions that help protect product quality and pass every audit.
Your challenge
Fluctuating demand and last-minute changes create bottlenecks and reduce efficiency.
Product solution
Integrated planning: you keep capacity and resources under control, absorb demand fluctuations, protect on-time delivery, and reduce production costs.
Your challenge
Fluctuating demand and last-minute changes create bottlenecks and reduce efficiency.

AI and Microsoft Power BI: turn your data into reliable insight

Accurate forecasts with artificial intelligence (AI)

Seasonality and demand swings put many businesses under pressure. With tools for AI-powered forecasting (Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Copilot Studio), you can intelligently analyze historical data and market trends. We advise you across the full Microsoft AI toolset and help you develop custom AI solutions, such as your own AI agents based on Microsoft Copilot Studio. With AI-powered forecasting, you identify demand early and plan more proactively and efficiently.

Real-time dashboards with Microsoft Power BI

Guesswork is no longer enough. With Microsoft Power BI, all your data from food and feed manufacturing comes together in one central place. Clear dashboards show you in real time where processes are running smoothly and where action is needed. This takes pressure off your team, replaces endless spreadsheets, and creates the foundation for confident decisions.

Microsoft Azure: keep your sensitive data in safe hands

What happens if your servers suddenly go down? For many midmarket food and feed manufacturers, that scenario creates real uncertainty. Moving to the Microsoft Azure Cloud removes that risk. You replace rigid on-premises structures with flexible, scalable systems built with the highest security standards by design. Encryption, access control, regular backups, and technical and organizational measures protect your formulas and sensitive customer data reliably, including against cyberattacks. 

A cloud solution scales with ease. When utilization rises or falls, resources adjust automatically. Your teams can work together from anywhere, whether from home or on the production floor. By connecting Microsoft Dynamics 365 (ERP, CRM), IoT, and your MES systems, you create stable, secure production processes. With the Microsoft Cloud, your IT stays current without the effort of maintaining your own servers. 

Built for batch manufacturing, from lab to production

Integrated ERP software for the food and feed industry

In batch manufacturing, every detail has to fit: formulas, process steps, clearly defined resources, and specifications must work together seamlessly. If one piece gets stuck, the entire production process suffers. 

With our integrated industry software COSMO ERP Nutrition, you start with structure from day one. The solution integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and is purpose-built for food and feed industry processes. COSMO ERP Nutrition helps ensure that quality, efficiency, and compliance with industry-specific specifications and regulations work together cleanly. You reduce project risk and benefit from short implementation times. 

Seamless integration with existing systems (LIMS, MES, TMS)

Our integrated industry software for food and feed manufacturing connects seamlessly with your lab, production, warehouse, and logistics processes. We integrate your existing systems, such as laboratory information management systems (LIMS), manufacturing execution systems (MES), or transportation management systems (TMS), with your ERP system. 

Integrations built on the Microsoft platform eliminate media breaks and provide real-time visibility into cross-functional processes. The result: shorter lead times, better utilization, and a solid foundation for confident decisions in batch manufacturing. 

End-to-end visibility into batch-specific nutritional values and ingredients, directly in your ERP system

Calculating nutritional values, checking ingredients, and documenting everything cleanly often means working across several systems. If you are not careful, things can quickly get out of sync. With COSMO ERP Nutrition, nutritional values and ingredients can be calculated and stored fully digitally, directly in your ERP-supported formula and production processes. Ingredients are calculated automatically from versioned formulas, including a comparison between expected and calculated quantities. The data then flows seamlessly into your production orders. 

Analysis results, for example from goods receipt, provide batch-specific measurements that flow directly back into consumption calculations for your production orders. Batches can be stored in the ERP system based on their ingredients and selected with precision. 

Audit-ready workflows document approvals, status changes, and process steps. This helps you meet compliance requirements reliably and maintain full control over batch traceability at all times.
