Snacks Challenges

Why snacks manufacturers need purpose-built software

01

Scheduling across multiple lines with constant changeovers

You're running 2-4 production lines simultaneously, each making a different product, with flavour changeovers that require cleaning, re-seasoning, and quality checks between runs. The schedule lives in a spreadsheet that someone rebuilds every week. When a rush order arrives or a line goes down, the cascade of rescheduling is manual and slow.

02

SKU proliferation that buries your inventory

Every new flavour variant, every new packaging size, every retailer-specific label creates another SKU. You're now tracking hundreds of finished goods, dozens of raw materials, and multiple packaging configurations --- across ambient and possibly chilled storage. The spreadsheet that managed 15 SKUs doesn't scale to 150.

03

Packaging variants that multiply your complexity

The same product ships in single-serve bags, multi-packs, club-size boxes, and private-label packaging. Each variant has different packaging materials, different labels, different case configurations, and sometimes different weights. Your production plan needs to account for all of it. Your costing needs to track all of it. Right now, neither does.

04

Costing that's always a quarter behind

With ingredient prices changing, new flavours launching, and packaging costs varying by format, your actual cost per unit is a moving target. But your costing spreadsheet reflects prices from last quarter. You're quoting margins to retail buyers based on numbers that are already wrong.

The Snacks transformation

Without FlexiBake
  • Multi-line production scheduled manually with weekly spreadsheet rebuilds
  • Hundreds of SKUs tracked in a system designed for dozens
  • Packaging variants managed outside the production and costing system
  • Cost-per-unit calculations based on stale ingredient prices
  • Changeover scheduling done by memory and tribal knowledge
With FlexiBake
  • Multi-line scheduling with changeover time built into the plan
  • Unlimited SKUs managed in a single system with lot tracking across all variants
  • Packaging configurations tied to recipes, production plans, and costing
  • Real-time costing that updates when ingredient or packaging prices change
  • Changeover rules defined per line and product --- the system enforces the sequence
Key Capabilities

How FlexiBake works for snacks manufacturers

Schedule multiple lines, manage changeovers, track output in real time

Plan production across 2-6+ lines simultaneously. Assign products to lines based on equipment capabilities, flavour groupings, and changeover requirements. The system calculates ingredient and packaging requirements for the full schedule. Real-time output tracking shows units produced per line, per shift, versus target.

Master recipes with unlimited flavour and format variants

Define a base recipe once, then create variants for each flavour, seasoning level, and packaging format. Each variant inherits the base process but tracks its own ingredient list, nutritional values, and costing. When you change the base recipe, all variants update. When you add a new flavour, the system creates the production, costing, and labelling records automatically.

Know what every SKU actually costs --- in every packaging format

Real-time food costing calculated from actual ingredient prices, actual seasoning usage, actual packaging costs, and actual production yields. Broken down by SKU, by line, by packaging format. When your oil price changes or your film supplier raises rates, you see the margin impact across every product immediately.

Track every ingredient, every lot, every packaging material

Real-time inventory for raw materials, seasonings, packaging materials, and finished goods. Lot numbers tracked from receiving through production to shipment. FIFO enforcement. Low-stock alerts. Full traceability for audits and recalls --- trace any finished product back to its ingredient and packaging lots in minutes.

Learn more

See performance by line, by product, by customer

Dashboards that show production efficiency, yield by line, waste percentages, cost variances, and sales performance. Drill down from company-wide to individual SKU. Exportable reports for retail buyer meetings, internal reviews, and financial planning. Data updated in real time from production, not assembled after the quarter.
