NEXERA CoreIndustriesFood

Sold per kilo. Tracked per batch, shipped per container.

NEXERA Core was created at a frozen food producer that exports to Germany and overseas. Everything a food producer needs, from batches and best-before dates to CMR and health certificates, is therefore in the core and not in a module you buy on top.

BottlenecksProven in practice

Where this industry loses time every week.

This is what we hear in the discovery phase with food producers. Sound familiar? Then you know where a first phase begins.

Kilos, pallets and an invoice that has to be right

An order in kilos, a pallet with its own weight and an invoice on the loaded weight. Once that sits in three systems, it only adds up by hand.

Tracing where every batch went

A complaint or a recall needs the answer within an hour: which batch, which customer, which date. From folders and Excel, that takes a day.

Paperwork per shipment, every single time

CMR, delivery note, health certificate, EX-A. Every shipment needs the same set, in the customer's language, with the right weights on it.

How it works

Recorded once.
Six steps, one record.

From the first agreement to the last journal entry: what one step records, the next one uses. Nobody retypes anything.

Each step belongs to a module of the core. The module is shown alongside, so you can see where the work happens.

Step 01

Quotation per kilo, in the customer's language

Price per kilo or per pack, with the customer's payment terms and credit limit. Accepted online or by email.

Quotations & orders
Step 02

Order with Incoterm and transport quotation

A CIF order is confirmed only once the transport quotation is accepted. The price build-up stays visible: product, transport, insurance.

Quotations & orders
Step 03

Production order produces a batch

Recipe, planned and produced kilos, production date and best-before date. The batch goes straight into stock.

Production & quality
Step 04

Quality inspects and releases

A batch in quarantine cannot be loaded. Release by the Quality role, recorded in the audit trail.

Production & quality
Step 05

Loading on FEFO, documents included

Delivery note with net and gross per pallet, CMR and health certificate from the same order. Incoming documents in the register.

Logistics & export
Step 06

Invoice on departure, posted in balance

Sales invoice on the loaded weight, journal entry at 0% for intra-community supplies (ICP), bank import and scheduled payment reminders.

By module

What often happens now, and how it runs in the core.

On the left, what we find at companies in this industry; on the right, how the same step works in NEXERA Core. No integration in between: it is always the same record.

Modules you do not need stay switched off.

Documents and rules

From the same data, with rules the core enforces.

Documents come from the order and the shipment, in the customer's language. Rules sit in the core and do not rely on anyone keeping watch.

Documents

Documents in five languages. These are the main ones here.

  • Order confirmation in the customer's language
  • Delivery note with net and gross weight per pallet
  • CMR, generated from the shipment
  • Health certificate and EX-A request, drawn up internally
  • Sales invoice with VAT code and ICP statement
Rules

What the core blocks, so that nobody has to remember it.

  • A CIF order cannot be confirmed without an accepted transport quotation
  • A batch in quarantine cannot be loaded
  • 0% VAT within the EU only with a valid VAT number in VIES
  • An item sold per kilo cannot be invoiced per piece
  • An export outside the EU without export evidence goes on the watch list
Core and customisation

What is standard, and what becomes yours.

Three layers. The core is the same for every customer, the set-up is configuration, and the customisation is code that we write and maintain for you.

The core

Already in place, in every industry

  • Batches, best-before dates and FEFO
  • Price and invoice per kilo
  • CMR, delivery note and VAT rules
Set-up

Configuration, not new code

  • Recipes and item codes
  • Documents and languages per sales market
  • Roles: Production, Quality, Warehouse
Customisation

Built for this industry

  • Inspection steps for your markets
  • Integration with scales or labelling
  • Your own documents, such as a specification sheet
In practice

NEXERA Core already runs in this industry. This is what you will see.

At customers in this industry, NEXERA Core replaces the industry package and the separate accounting. In a demo we show that set-up, anonymised, alongside your own documents.

FAQ

Questions from this industry

Is your question not listed? Get in touch

Yes. Best-before dates, batches and FEFO are not tied to frozen food. For fresh products with a short shelf life, we set the monitoring per day instead of per week.

Yes. Film, artwork, box and palletising are fixed per customer as an agreement and appear as a snapshot on the order line. The item code itself does not change.

The core draws up the health certificate and the EX-A request from the shipment. Third-party documents, such as the export document and the certificate of origin, are archived with their reference on the shipment.

A first phase with contacts, items, orders and shipments usually goes live within 12 weeks. We run in parallel with the current system and then add production and finance.
