Answer

What FMCG Manufacturing ERP is for

FMCG production is a layered problem. There is a base recipe, a packaging configuration and a finished product, and they change at different rates. Treat them as one bill of materials and every pack-size change forces you to rebuild the recipe.

Highsense FMCG Manufacturing ERP separates base BOM, package BOM and product BOM, then runs production as work orders with real steps and packing plans. Sampling, QC parameters and batch wastage are first-class parts of the workflow rather than spreadsheets alongside it.

Built for

  • Food and beverage manufacturers
  • Home and personal care FMCG units
  • Contract packers running multiple SKUs
  • Plants that need sample approval before bulk production

Modules

01

Three-tier BOM

Base BOM, package BOM and product BOM held separately, so a pack change does not disturb the recipe.

02

Production and work orders

Work orders broken into steps with packaging and pack plans, each tracked to completion.

03

Sample workflow

Sample requests become sample work orders with their own QC checks and batch sequence before bulk production is cleared.

04

QC inspections

Product-type QC parameters with recorded results per inspection, gating movement through the plant.

05

Material and stock control

Material stock with movement history, store-room items, GRN against purchase orders and finished-goods stock.

06

Procurement

Purchase requests, purchase orders with line items, vendor records and goods receipt notes.

07

Sales and dispatch

Sales orders with item-level dispatch tracking, so partial dispatch is visible per line.

08

Batch wastage

Wastage recorded per batch with reasons, so loss becomes a reportable trend.

09

CRM and leads

Lead sources, statuses, follow-ups, assignment history and meetings, so an enquiry and its order live together.

10

HR and team

Employees, positions, documents, leave and termination records with role-based permissions.

How the work flows

  1. 1
    Lead to sales order

    An enquiry is captured, followed up and converted, with the order lines recorded against the customer.

  2. 2
    Sample first

    A sample request raises a sample work order with its own QC parameters, approved before bulk production starts.

  3. 3
    Production order

    Materials are checked and reserved against the base and package BOMs for the planned quantity.

  4. 4
    Work order steps

    Production runs as ordered steps with packaging and pack plans, each signed off as it completes.

  5. 5
    QC inspection

    Inspection results are recorded against the product type parameters; failures route to rework rather than dispatch.

  6. 6
    Dispatch and reporting

    Finished goods dispatch against the order line, and the AI assistant reports on yield, wastage and predictions.

Frequently asked questions

Why separate base BOM from package BOM?

Because they change independently. A new pack size should not force you to re-enter the recipe, and a recipe change should apply to every pack size at once. Keeping them separate is what makes that possible.

Does it handle sample approval before bulk?

Yes. Sample requests become sample work orders with their own QC parameters and batch sequence, and bulk production is cleared only after that approval.

Can we see partial dispatch against an order?

Yes. Dispatch is tracked per sales-order line, so you can see exactly how much of each line has shipped and what remains.

Is the AI reporting an extra module?

No. Natural-language reporting is included with the system, not sold separately.
