Patties produces well-known brands such as Four’N Twenty Pies, Herbert Adams, Chef’s Pride, Creative Gourmet, Nanna’s and, of course, Patties from its Bairnsdale bakery in Victoria. Patties has been using the Bizcaps BRM Recipe Manager system for over six years, with each new concept, package or product starting off in the Recipe Manager system.
The National Review of Food Labelling, or Blewett Review, prompted changes to rules regarding the Nutrition Information Panel, strictly specifying the way manufacturers must now include information on ingredients such as fibre and salt. Jake Lowing, new product development manager for Patties, says that Recipe Manager is integral to Patties’ compliance with the new regulations.
“Recipe Manager delivers data integrity,” he said. “Bizcaps is the hub of the concept component of our product development and lets us easily track different formulations from concept to sign off. With Bizcaps, we have traceable version control. It also allows us to produce an initial Nutrition Information Panel and assess the cost along the way.”
Bizcaps’ range of business solutions is designed to help manufacturers and other suppliers publish their product and supply chain information to their trading partners, including the major retailers. An Australian software company, Bizcaps also has extensive supply chain experience.
