Context

Controlling cost while maintaining consistent quality; streamlining kitchen operations; improving overall efficacy and bringing in innovation were the key challenges the organization faced.

Solution

Prior to Anka's intervention, the client would track day-to-day business activities using a simple spreadsheet.

  • Record recipe and process
  • Ingredient substitution
  • Batch / Lot Scaling
  • Effort Management.
  • Auto procurement requests
  • FIFO inventory consumption 
  • Raw material and Finished goods QA
  • All Process QA

Outcome

Through automation and digital innovation, we closed productivity gaps and speeded up production. Within a short time span, the company amped up its revenue & profitability and gained clear competitive edge.
