Solutions Overview
Workflow & Business Process Management
Each industry has unique and critical elements of business unaddressed by most business systems. Parity is more than a feature-rich ERP system; it is adaptable and scalable to virtually every job or task in the food industry. The database, business logic and user interfaces are designed to reflect and serve the needs of the entire organization and its customers.
Every Parity Food Enterprise implementation is focused on improving the way the essential work of your company is done. This includes large, cross-functional business processes such as the customer service cycle. Within these broad business processes are many local or specialized work-flows and processes, including accepting and activating EDI orders, calculating brokerage and paying brokers, creating a production or shipping schedule, loading trucks, etc. Parity helps guide orders through the system through various stages and departments ensuring that appropriate users have suitable access to relevant orders.
End-to-End Lot Tracing & Recall Management
Food safety and lot tracing permeate the Parity Food Enterprise at every level, from the database and business rules to reporting and business intelligence. Every inventory transaction supports a secure lot chain from suppliers through production and distribution. Your lot recall audits will be fast, accurate and easy to execute. With Parity shop floor data collection and warehouse management solutions, you can reduce your recall ‘footprint’ to minimize your exposure, maximize product safety, and deliver greater value to your customers.
Powerful User Rights Engine
The Parity Food Enterprise system incorporates a powerful user rights engine that provides rights management to data, transactions, and even specific tasks, in ways that reflect your organization and its structure. Information, such as specific customers, can be made visible to those individuals and groups who need to see it and protected from others. The ability to enter or change entire transactions, parts of transactions, or perform business processes can also be granted to specific people who have the appropriate authority. Workflows can also be assigned to specific user groups. Supervisors may be allowed broader rights than their staff.
Whether your company is small and simple or large and complex, all of this is managed through a user rights management tool that makes configuration easy to establish and simple to maintain.
User Configurable Screens
Parity offers users a unique and powerful way to personalize and customize the way they interact with the system. Easy configuration tools define the records and columns of data and the order in which they are displayed. Users can build, save and call upon any number of unique views to simplify and streamline any particular task or workflow step.
Combined with Workflow Management, User Rights Management, a powerful Search engine and Microsoft Excel integration, Parity provides a highly configurable user experience out of the box.
