Streamlining Sales Pricing and Support in the Agricultural Sector

ERP

 

 

 

In the world of agricultural commodities, cost prices are notoriously volatile. These commodities are crucial for the nutrition supply chain, especially in animal feed production and essential food industries like flour milling. For feed and petfood manufacturers, this volatility poses a significant challenge in determining the price of finished products. Due to fluctuating raw material prices, product formulas often need adjustments, which can be efficiently managed using BESTMIX Recipe Management software. Ingredient price, quality, and availability are key factors influencing these changes. 

Seamless Data Integration with BESTMIX ERP Solution 

The BESTMIX ERP Solution is designed to address these challenges head-on. By utilizing BESTMIX Recipe Management for formulation, users can easily transfer data related to ingredient costs to the BESTMIX ERP system. This ensures that the ERP system always has up-to-date ingredient costs, facilitating accurate pricing. 

By integrating with BESTMIX Recipe Management, you can effortlessly transfer optimized feed data and updated ingredient costs directly to your ERP system. This seamless integration ensures that you always have the most current ingredient costs, enabling you to: 

  • Make informed pricing decisions 

  • Respond quickly to market changes 

  • Streamline your workflow and reduce manual data entry errors 

  • Maintain a competitive edge in the nutrition industry 

With BESTMIX, you are not just acquiring software; you are gaining a powerful tool tailored to the unique demands of your business.

Accurate Sales Pricing 

 

Once BESTMIX ERP receives the ingredient costs for the feed, it quickly converts them into sales price proposals. This basic price can be adjusted with additional charges, discounts, and expected margins. This functionality allows you to manage typical feed-related challenges, such as: 

  • Updating prices for different product forms (meal, pellets, mash) and packaging (bulk, bag, tote-bag) automatically 

  • Automatically calculating freight costs in response to basic price changes 

  • Pricing feed additives in relation to base products 

  • Accounting for customer-specific discounts and charges 

  • Setting target margins for specific product groups, ensuring these are reflected in general price changes 

Without these automated processes, maintaining sales prices would require much more manual work and come with a higher risk of errors. 

The Advantages of automatic pricing management

BESTMIX offers your company automatic pricing management. The process starts with importing the basic price from BESTMIX Recipe Management into the ERP system, covering all plain items and derived additive combinations. During the import, all other combinations (different sizes, styles, etc.) are priced automatically. Automatic charges and discounts are applied to ensure that sales price changes are fully automated. 

The most critical aspect of this process is that the new sales price is created automatically, accurately reflecting your real costs and margin expectations.
