Mill companies

Flexible grinding. Deliver consistently. Control cleverly.

Mills and food manufacturers face the challenge of efficiently processing fluctuating raw material qualities while managing highly automated grinding processes and complex purchasing structures in the grain trade. A specialized ERP solution for mills intelligently links raw material management, warehouse logistics, production control, and filling processes. This ensures consistent quality, batch traceability, and on-time deliveries—from the delivery of raw materials to the finished product being shipped to customers. Companies benefit from efficient processes, seamless traceability, and a transparent, digitally controlled production chain that sustainably increases operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Grain buying with customer and supplier portal

From contract conclusion to delivery, the ERP system supports the entire grain purchasing process—including quantity recording, quality assessment, and dynamic pricing. The integrated portal gives producers and traders access to current delivery items, contract statuses, credit information, and payment flows at any time. This strengthens partner loyalty, reduces coordination efforts, and creates transparent, traceable purchasing processes that promote efficiency, predictability, and trust along the entire value chain.

Automated loading processes with batch allocation

ERP-controlled loading enables automated, weight- and batch-accurate filling based on customer orders, vehicle ID, and silo allocation. All batches, weights, and delivery data are automatically documented and seamlessly transferred to warehousing, invoicing, and transport via interfaces. This reduces waiting times, minimizes sources of error, and ensures maximum traceability across the entire supply chain. Companies benefit from efficient workflows, clear process structures, and fully digitized logistics that reliably ensure quality, transparency, and on-time delivery.

Integrated silo book with IoT connection to plant control systems

The ERP system manages all silo contents digitally—including fill levels, batch allocation, storage duration, and residual moisture. Real-time data flows automatically into the silo log via IoT interfaces to the plant control system. This ensures maximum transparency with minimal manual effort. Traceability is guaranteed down to the raw material and delivery level, and production planning can be controlled precisely. Companies benefit from efficient workflows, seamless process control, and a digitally networked production environment that reliably supports quality, compliance, and on-time delivery.

An overview of the most important functions

Batch tracing from grain purchase to delivery

Each batch is fully documented from the field to the customer. Origin, laboratory values, milling and delivery — all steps are traceable and recorded in accordance with QA.

Integration of milling and silo control (IoT)

Connecting your systems via IoT interfaces enables automatic control and feedback of milling processes and silo movements — integrated directly into the ERP system.

Automated billing and grain purchase processes

Weighing, quality assessment, pricing and billing are completely digital and rule-based — from delivery to payment to the farmer or retailer.

Sales and distribution

Manage contracts, prices, and processing centrally in the ERP system. Business customers benefit from fast ordering processes, transparent terms and conditions, and efficient processing—all digital and traceable.

Warehouse management

Warehouse-based control provides a real-time overview of stocks, batch traceability, and precise silo and space management. Errors in inventory recording are reduced and logistics are managed efficiently.

Quality management

Record quality data, test results, and origin information directly in the system. All data is document-secure, accessible at any time, and meets the highest standards for traceability and compliance.

Business intelligence

Get detailed reports on your product range, inventory turnover, and profitability to make informed decisions about purchasing, sales, and strategic planning. With real-time data, you can keep an eye on your business at all times.

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.
