Stop reconciling systems. Spend your day on food, not software.
Two products, built for food and beverage. Accounting & Operations (ERP) is the main system for the manufacturing and distribution side. If you also deliver direct to stores, Direct Store Delivery (DSD) handles the route side. Each works on its own; together they replace the legacy patched-together stack — and the reconciliation that comes with it.
The food and beverage industry runs on tight margins, tight timelines, and zero tolerance for mistakes. Here are the problems our software is built to handle.
Supply chain costs are rising — 7% above inflation in 2026.
Suggested order quantities, shelf-life management, just-in-time inventory, and expiration data management keep your purchasing aligned with what’s actually selling.
Allergens, foreign material, mislabeling. We provide a QA app, allergen management, item specifications, and a mock recall that runs in 60 seconds.
Efficient production scheduling — fewer changeovers, fewer cut-ins — means leaner floor staffing without losing output. The same people, more done.
Real-time profitability by SKU and customer. Alternate costing models. Pricing tools. Cost overrun notifications before the month closes — not after.
Our Sales Order, Payables, and Billing agents are in production today, available as a per-usage add-on on top of your plan. We’re shipping AI into customer environments, not previewing it on a webinar.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is the modern, scalable platform that lets you adopt AI, integrate with anything, and grow without re-platforming every five years.
Our trace events live inside production workflows — not as a separate compliance module. Trace any finished good back to the raw materials and lots that built it, in one click.
Rapid reformulation with real-time nutritional and cost analysis. On-the-fly substitutions when a supplier falls through. The system shows you the impact before you commit.
For food and beverage manufacturers who need full ERP capability — financials, inventory, BOM, manufacturing, and food-specific lot traceability.
Asset tracking, work orders, maintenance scheduling, and downtime tracking — a Business Central add-on that runs alongside your ERP.
Are you a manufacturer who delivers direct to stores? Direct Store Delivery (DSD) handles the route side — mobile-first, built for drivers and supervisors.
For the smaller slice of manufacturers who run both, ERP and DSD work side by side. Each is its own product with its own database — you run the manufacturing and distribution side in ERP, and the route side in DSD, without forcing one tool to do the other’s job.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central brings security, scale, and AI built in by one of the most trusted software companies in the world. Data encryption, role-based access, audit trails, and compliance certifications are all built in.
That platform comes with AI-driven insights out of the box. Power BI dashboards land in your environment ready to go, with real-time visibility into production efficiency, inventory trends, and customer profitability — without an analyst writing reports.
It also comes with the integration layer modern food and beverage companies need. Native connectors to Shopify and standard EDI for the trading partners you sell to — Costco, Whole Foods, Sysco, and the rest of the major NA retailers and distributors. Any Android mobile scanner for warehouse work — Honeywell, Zebra, and others. Outlook, Teams, and Excel built in. Your stack already speaks Microsoft.
Your timeline depends on scope. Accounting-only deployments (Food Essentials) typically run 4–8 weeks. Full ERP with manufacturing (Food Premium) runs 3–6 months. ERP plus DSD runs 4–9 months. Multi-plant or complex environments need scoping before we commit to a range.
Implementation cost is additive — you pay for the modules you adopt.
We don’t promise weekend rollouts. F&B operations are too important for that. What we do promise is a clear plan, a real timeline, and a team that’s done it before.
What changes can you expect from a purpose-built ERP for food and beverage?
Pick the path you’re evaluating today. Each comparison is honest about where Harvest fits — and where it doesn’t.
You’ve outgrown spreadsheets and the chart of accounts. Harvest lays a real food and beverage ERP on top of what your team already knows.
Same Microsoft platform. Modular pricing, transparent on the site, and an implementation that doesn’t blow your year.
A food and beverage-native ERP, not a generic one. Lot, batch, and route are first-class — not custom fields.
Book a 30-minute demo or take pricing for a spin. Real product. Real pricing. No discovery-call gating.
