ERP for Food, Beverage & FMCG
Fresh stock, fast turnover, zero write-offs.
Food and FMCG businesses run against the clock: ingredients arrive, are converted, packed and sold before they spoil, across counters, distributors and sometimes online. The questions are always the same — how much did this pack really cost me, what is about to expire, and which channel actually makes money. Viamione tracks stock with expiry, converts bulk to packs with real cost, and bills counters and distributors from the same data.
Short shelf lives, recipe costing, high-volume retail and distributor billing.
Repacks and cost sheets turn bulk into saleable SKUs with real cost, expiry-aware inventory prevents waste, and POS plus distribution flows run on the same data.
Sound familiar?
These are the things business owners in this industry tell us. Here is what changes.
“Stock expires before we manage to sell it.”
Expiry-aware inventory shows what is closest to expiry so it can be moved first. Short-dated stock stops being a surprise at stock-taking.
“I don’t know what a packed unit really costs me.”
Bulk is converted into saleable packs through repacks, with yield and wastage recorded and cost carried across, so every pack has a real unit cost.
“Distributors and retail customers need different rates.”
Separate price lists per channel and per customer group apply automatically when you quote or bill.
“The billing counter slows to a crawl at peak hours.”
The POS supports barcode scanning, split payments and offline resilience, so queues keep moving even when the network does not.

How work flows in Food, Beverage & FMCG
- 1
Buy in bulk
The purchaser raises purchase orders to vendors; goods are received by batch with expiry dates so freshness is recorded from the start.
- 2
Repack into saleable units
Bulk stock is converted into the pack sizes you sell. Yield and wastage are recorded and the cost per pack is calculated automatically.
- 3
Distribute
Sales orders to distributors use their price list. Deliveries reduce stock and GST invoices follow, with receivables tracked per distributor.
- 4
Bill at the counter
Retail counters bill by barcode, accept split payments and keep selling during outages, syncing when the connection returns.
- 5
Review the margin
Reports show margin by SKU, channel and customer, so you know what to push, reprice or stop making.
