Sanderson, the leading UK-owned food, formulation and processing software provider, has won a contract to supply its Formul8 system to premium burger producer, the Burger Manufacturing Company.

The deal provides an integrated management solution that will meet the Burger Manufacturing Company's current operational needs with the flexibility to support wider operations as the company grows.

Formul8's software modules will initially replace existing Sage accounting and order processing applications.

The company will also benefit from full two-way traceability as it automates day-to-day processes including product costing, raw material batch handling, raw material and finished goods stock control.

The software also supports the new product development process.

The Burger Manufacturing Company will be able to utilise the real-time management information generated by Formul8 to analyse specific areas of its business to improve internal efficiencies and make accurate management decisions for business growth.

Looking to the future, the Burger Manufacturing Company plans to extend its investment in Formul8, integrating shop floor data capture with production devices including weigh scales and bar code scanners.

Jim Booth, Finance Director, Burger Manufacturing Company said: "We required a single integrated system to handle all areas of our business.

We chose Sanderson because of its reputation as a longstanding provider of software systems to the food processing industry.

This experience meant they could fully understand and meet the needs of our growing company." Steve Fisher, Director of Formul8 Sales at Sanderson said: "By providing companies with the option to choose how many modules they implement at any given time, Formul8 can meet the administration and production needs of both large companies operating in the food and process industries and smaller organisations with future expansion plans.

The modular architecture means the system can grow with a company whilst the open design allows companies to respond to future IT changes with the latest technology.".
