Pet Food Manufacturing ERP Software

Pet food manufacturing has human-food-grade complexity. Your software should match.

FlexiBake manages the regulatory depth, formulation precision, and production traceability that pet food manufacturing demands --- AAFCO nutrient profiles, ingredient lot tracking, batch-level records, and the recall readiness that retailers and regulators expect. One platform. Not a stack of disconnected tools.

Pet Food Challenges

Why pet food manufacturers need purpose-built software

Formulations that serve two masters

Every pet food recipe has to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for the target species and life stage while also hitting cost targets and using available ingredients. Reformulating when an ingredient price spikes or a supplier can't deliver means recalculating nutrient adequacy, cost per unit, and label declarations simultaneously.

Traceability requirements that match human food

Pet food recalls make national news. Retailers demand traceability documentation on par with human food products. When a customer or regulator asks which ingredient lots went into batch 3847 and which retailers received product from that batch, the answer needs to come in minutes --- not days of cross-referencing paper records.

Multi-species, multi-format production complexity

Dog food dry kibble, cat food wet pouches, freeze-dried treats, dental chews --- different species, different formats, different production processes, all running through the same facility. Each product has its own recipe, its own nutrient profile requirements, its own packaging, and its own allergen considerations.

Labelling that regulators and retailers both scrutinise

Pet food labels face AAFCO labelling requirements, FDA nutritional guidelines, and retailer-specific demands. Guaranteed Analysis panels, ingredient declarations in descending order by weight, calorie content statements, AAFCO nutritional adequacy statements --- and every time you reformulate, every label needs to be reviewed.

The Pet Food transformation

Without FlexiBake

Formulations recalculated manually when ingredients or costs change
Lot traceability assembled from paper records across production stages
Multi-species, multi-format production managed in disconnected systems
Label declarations maintained separately from recipe formulations
Recall readiness dependent on manual cross-referencing of batch records

With FlexiBake

Recipe changes automatically update costing, nutritional analysis, and label declarations
Forward and backward lot tracing through the entire production and distribution chain in seconds
All formats (dry, wet, freeze-dried, treats) managed in one production system
Labels generated directly from recipe data and updated when formulas change
Instant recall scope identification --- from ingredient lot to every affected customer shipment

Key Capabilities

How FlexiBake works for pet food manufacturers

Recipe management with nutrient profiles

Manage formulations for multiple species, life stages, and product formats in one system. FlexiBake stores recipes with full ingredient breakdowns, scales automatically for any batch size, and connects each formula to costing, nutritional analysis, and label generation.

Lot tracking and recall readiness

End-to-end lot traceability from raw ingredient receipt through production to customer shipment. FlexiBake links every ingredient lot to every batch and every batch to every outbound shipment. Forward and backward traces in seconds --- critical for the recall speed that regulators and retailers demand.

Production management for multi-format operations

Track production across dry, wet, freeze-dried, and treat formats. FlexiBake manages batch records, equipment allocation, and yield tracking for each production type. Multi-step processes --- mixing, extruding, drying, coating, packaging --- tracked as connected stages.

Inventory management

Real-time inventory for raw ingredients (meat meals, grains, fats, supplements), packaging materials, and finished goods. FIFO/FEFO enforcement for perishable ingredients. Shortage alerts when production requirements exceed available stock.

Food costing

Real-time cost per unit calculated from actual recipes, current ingredient prices, and actual production yields. When meat meal prices increase 15%, every product that uses it recalculates immediately. Margin analysis by product, by customer, and by sales channel.
