Sweet Life Enterprises purchased Sage MAS 500 for its market-leading accounting and financials and for its SQL database. However, the software’s traditional manufacturing modules did not fit the company’s process manufacturing model.

Sage Software referred the company to Escape Velocity Systems (EVS), which offers O2 Process Manufacturing, a comprehensive suite of modules that is seamlessly integrated with Sage MAS 500.

Before implementing O2 Process Manufacturing, much of the data the manufacturer used to formulate recipes, track costs, and ensure consistent, high-quality products was kept in spreadsheets and Word documents. Now, all of the information the company relies on is held securely within the software.

In addition, as Sweet Life Enterprises distributes its products in various pack sizes, staff previously had to create a separate bill of material for each pack size. Now, with EVS’s software, they simply specify which pack size they are assembling and the software accurately draws the correct ingredients, in the correct proportions for the recipe.

In addition to supporting the company’s internal quality standards, O2 Process Manufacturing helps Sweet Life Enterprises comply with the various governmental mandates that apply to food and beverage manufacturers, such as the Bioterrorism Act and HACCP.
