Yield lost between kettle and pouch
Raw material issued, frying or roasting loss, broken pieces and packed output are booked per batch, so yield is visible by product, line and shift.
Namkeen, chips, extruded snacks, roasted nuts and seeds
Snacks ERP software
Built for snack plants, from gram flour, potato, oil and seasoning receipt through frying, extrusion, roasting, seasoning and packing to distributor dispatch, with batch-wise traceability, frying oil records and fill-weight checks throughout.
Quick answer
What is snack ERP software?
Snack ERP software is business software built around how a snack plant runs. Formezy records each raw-material lot and its incoming tests, the recipe and frying or roasting loss of every batch, oil use, seasoning, metal-detector checks, fill weights and date codes at packing, and the distributor each batch went to, so stock, yield and cost stay current.
Frying oil left to guesswork
Oil top-ups, oil discarded and the oil checks your team runs are recorded per fryer and shift, so oil used per kilogram of product is known.
Pouches that cannot be traced
Every pouch carries a batch and date code linked to its raw-material lots, so a complaint traces back to the flour, oil and seasoning used.
Segments
Built for every snack segment
3 segments, each with its own shop-floor process flow.
Namkeen & fried snacks
Bhujia, sev, mixtures and fried dals made from gram flour, pulses and spices. Track besan and oil lots, dough recipes, frying loss per batch, blend ratios for mixtures and pouches packed per line.
See the 8-step flowChips & extruded snacks
Potato chips, wafers and extruded or puffed snacks made from corn, rice and other grits. Track potato lots, peeling and slicing loss, fryer and extruder runs, seasoning dosage and nitrogen-flushed packing.
See the 8-step flowRoasted nuts & seeds
Roasted peanuts, chana, cashews, almonds and seeds, plain, salted or masala. Track crop lots and aflatoxin results, sorting rejects, roasting loss, flavour coating and packed output.

Questions
Snacks ERP: common questions
Still have a question?
Talk to a food ERP specialist about your own plant and process route.
Which snack segments does Formezy support?
Formezy supports namkeen & fried snacks, chips & extruded snacks and roasted nuts & seeds, each with its own process flow. Plants that combine segments run them in one system.
Can Formezy calculate frying loss and yield per batch?
Yes. Raw material issued and the weight after frying or roasting are recorded per batch, along with broken pieces and rejects, so loss and yield are calculated per batch, product, line and shift.
How does it record frying oil?
Oil added, oil discarded and the oil checks your team performs, such as free fatty acid or total polar compounds, are recorded per fryer and shift. Oil used per kilogram of product then comes straight from the records.
Does it support metal-detector checks?
Yes. Metal detection can be set up as a critical control point in the ISO & HACCP module. Test-piece checks and rejects are recorded against each batch, and a failed check holds everything packed since the last good one.
Can I trace a pouch back to its raw materials?
Yes. The batch code on the pouch links to the packing run, the frying batch, the recipe and the raw-material lots used, and forward to the distributors who received that batch.
Does it manage best-before dates and first-expiry-first-out?
Yes. Best-before dates come from each product's shelf life, stock is picked first-expiry-first-out, and near-expiry stock appears in alerts so it can be sold or cleared in time.
Can it handle route and distributor dispatch?
Yes. Orders are grouped by route and distributor, with invoices, e-way bills and batch numbers on every dispatch, and returns are recorded by reason.
