ProductVision for the Food, Beverages & Flavorings Industry
ProductVision is the leading product development software for the food, beverage & flavorings industry. The ProductVision software streamlines formula management by automatically calculating all nutritional properties and cost information. It offers versatile formula development tools in a scalable environment.
The increasing consumer demand for healthy food alternatives has driven food companies to innovate and launch new products aggressively. ProductVision shortens and streamlines the product development process, resulting in faster time to market. It automates recipe creation with automatic nutritional calculations. It provides robust query features, making finding existing recipes that meet new requirements easy. All recipe revisions are automatically maintained, and product development tasks can be tracked and controlled using Project and Workflow features.
Key Benefits
Automates Regulatory Compliance Documentation
ProductVision integrates tools for creating regulatory documents and information such as Nutrition Labels, Ingredient Declarations, Product Data Sheets, and Kosher, Allergen, and GMO statuses. This reduces the time required to prepare this information, making it instantly available when a recipe is created. This automation eliminates the need to reenter information in another system, saving time and increasing document accuracy.
Increases Formulator Productivity
ProductVision reduces the effort required to create new products and enhance existing recipes. New raw materials and recipes can be copied from existing items. The flexible recipe editor allows for freeform entry of unlimited lines, including multiple levels of intermediates.
Multi-level "where-used" and global component replacement features enable rapid and accurate substituting of obsolete ingredients. ProductVision automatically performs all property and cost calculations quickly and accurately, allowing formulators to focus on creating and enhancing products for faster market release.
Streamlines New Product Development
ProductVision's "What-If" Analysis allows you to quickly prototype new products. Set a target property or cost value for a formula, "float" one or more components, and the system will determine the correct composition to meet the target. Alternatively, directly edit a formula's composition, and ProductVision will recalculate and display the new properties.
You can create and view an unlimited number of alternate formulas on-screen. You can graph selected property values for convenient visual analysis. Save experimental formulas developed with "What-If" to the permanent formula file for future use.
Improves Customer Response Time
ProductVision's powerful query tool lets you quickly locate existing products that match specific customer requests, providing better service. Internally, queries save time and money by rapidly locating resources that can be substituted. These formulas can accept reworked materials or items that meet any combination of property, cost, or component criteria.
Provides Detailed Product Costs
ProductVision offers an accurate picture of your formula costs, helping you price products for maximum long-term profitability. With line-by-line and overall formula losses, formulators can clearly define product costs. The cost simulation feature helps analyze the effects of anticipated cost changes by allowing temporary changes to recipe compositions or costs.
Integrates with Other World-Class Software
ProductVision can share raw material and recipe information with popular Manufacturing Resource Planning, financial, and plant and lab automation software packages. This integration eliminates duplicate data entry, reduces time to market, and improves information accuracy.
