Herb and spice manufacturer

Refinement meets sales — intelligently managed, globally connected.

Processors of herbs and spices face the challenge of efficiently refining raw materials with highly variable properties while managing complex packaging processes and multi-level distribution and franchise structures. A specialized ERP solution for labelers intelligently connects production, processing, packaging, and distribution across locations, countries, and partners. This ensures consistent quality, traceability, and brand consistency—from raw materials to the finished product on the market. Companies benefit from transparent, end-to-end processes, efficient partner and location management, and a digitalized platform that sustainably enhances quality, compliance, and operational efficiency.

IoT integration of filling systems for greater efficiency and traceability

Filling lines and packaging units are directly connected to the ERP system via IoT interfaces. Production quantities, downtimes, filling weights, and machine status are fed into the process control system in real time. This results in complete batch documentation, optimized line utilization, and transparent traceability across the entire production chain. Companies benefit from efficient production planning, reduced downtime, and fully integrated digital control that ensures quality, compliance, and productivity in the long term.

Automated billing processes for fast and error-free billing

From order entry to invoicing, all billing-related processes are automatically mapped—including discount logic, graduated prices, foreign currencies, and EDI interfaces. This reduces manual effort, minimizes sources of error, and accelerates cash flow in the international distribution of herbs and spices. Companies benefit from efficient, integrated billing processes, transparent financial overviews, and fully digitized sales processing, which saves time and increases customer satisfaction.

Precisely control raw material qualities — from crop planning to processing

The ERP system supports the entire process, from purchasing and traceability to quality-dependent processing. Different batches, for example, based on origin, batch number, or organic certification, are recorded transparently and assigned to the appropriate processing or drying lines. This ensures consistent product quality, even with highly variable natural raw materials. Companies benefit from complete traceability, efficient production management, and end-to-end digital process control that provides long-term support for quality, compliance, and operational safety.

AI Features

Centralized AI-powered knowledge management & ECM

fabAI brings together company knowledge in a holistic way on an AI-powered platform for the first time. Instead of spreading data across different systems and folders, the AI accesses ERP, process metrics, financial data (FI/CO), BI systems, and documents in real time. Content is contextualized, understood, and prepared based on roles, matching the user's area of responsibility and questions. This creates an intelligent layer of knowledge that supports employees in their day-to-day business, accelerates decision-making, and creates transparency across departments and locations.

Voice control instead of click paths — natural interface for ERP users

Based on demand, ordering behavior and location data, the AI calculates which items must be available when and where. Inventory forecasting from fabAI ensures optimal distribution of goods, reduces inventory costs and minimizes shortages. This significantly improves availability, particularly in dynamic supply chains with changing demand.

Identify customer segments and understand behavior — automated cluster analysis

fabAI's AI cluster analysis automatically detects patterns, deviations, and changes in customer and process behavior—reliably, in real time, and without manual searching. This enables companies to respond early, prioritize optimizations, and avoid negative effects. Typical use cases: - Early warning system for customer churn: Identify changes in purchasing behavior and derive countermeasures - Product range analysis: Identify fluctuations in demand at an early stage and adjust offers - Delivery and quality monitoring: Identify bottlenecks or problems and optimize processes

Targeted inventory management — inventory forecasting with AI

Sales and production forecasting with AI

fabAI analyses historical order data, seasonal patterns, external influencing factors such as weather or holidays and uses this to generate accurate sales and production forecasts. This makes it possible to avoid excess quantities, make better use of production capacities and optimize procurement processes. Companies receive a data-based basis for daily operational planning — directly in the ERP.
