Case study

Curd batches tracked from milk collection to counter

A dairy producer traced every batch from milk collection to retail counter and cut expiry write-offs by a third.

The Challenge

Milk came in from four collection centres twice a day and left the plant as curd, paneer and ghee.

  • Batches were not tracked, so expired stock at outlets could not be traced back.
  • Production cost was estimated once a year, leaving pricing to guesswork.

The Solution: BricX ERP

Milk intake, production runs and outlet dispatches became one batch trail:

  1. Milk collection by centre and shift, with fat and SNF captured on intake.
  2. Production runs consume milk and packaging and produce batches with expiry dates.
  3. Outlet stock is held by batch, so the oldest sells first and returns are traced.

Results

  • Expiry write-offs down by a third in the first two quarters.
  • Cost per litre and per kilo from actual consumption.
  • Quality checks traced to a single collection shift.
