Wood processor and panel manufacturer seeks recipe management

We are an internationally active wood processor and panel manufacturer based in southern Germany with over 2,000 employees. We are looking for a recipe manager to support the production of high-quality wood-based materials, panels, and surfaces. The software will be used at five production sites. Depending on the location, the number of recipes for our manufactured products varies between 150 and 1,000. The system previously used, MS Excel, is reaching its limits. In addition, there is a high risk of errors and organizational changes.

The software should meet the following requirements:

• Recipe tables, tabular structure (MS Excel replacement)
• Individual formula management
• Compliance with target specifications (norms, standards, but also internal company specifications)
• Consideration of different recipes for the same product due to different locations, different woods (origins)
• Consideration of calculation rules
• Customization options for users
• User and rights system, role management
• Interface to existing ERP (SAP R/3)
• Interface(s) to existing MES and BDE systems
• Web-based or on-premises

Approximately 50 software workstations are planned. Work is carried out in an MS Windows system landscape.
