Do you produce food products in Algeria?

We understand you

Industrial pastries, production bakeries, canned goods manufacturers, juice, cheese or traditional pastry makers (makroud, kalb el louz, baklawa...) - Algerian food producers face unique management challenges: recipe formulation, batch traceability, expiry date management, cost calculation per piece or per kilogram, and organizing distribution to reseller networks.

At CIRTASOFT, we know that behind every food product lies a precise recipe, raw materials with fluctuating prices and availability, and distributor clients who demand consistency and traceability. GestiumERP structures your entire food production chain in a single tool adapted to the Algerian market.

Challenges

What your teams experience every day

These situations are familiar to you. These are the concrete challenges we hear most often from artisanal food producers and SMEs in Algeria.

Unformalized recipes and variable costs

Manufacturing recipes exist in the heads of master craftsmen or on paper sheets. Without digital formalization, quantities vary from one batch to another and the cost price remains unknown.

Untracked material consumption per batch

Impossible to know exactly how many kg of dates or liters of oil were consumed per production batch. Stock discrepancies accumulate and purchases are made on sight without anticipation.

Unmanaged finished product expiry dates

Without expiry date management per batch, products risk being delivered too close to their expiration or, worse, remaining in stock past their expiry date - with financial and health consequences.

Untraceable product cost price

Without traceability of consumed ingredients and their actual cost, determining the profitable selling price for each product remains guesswork. Raw material price fluctuations amplify this uncertainty.

Disconnected orders and production

Orders from your distributors and resellers come in by phone or WhatsApp. Without a link to production, it is impossible to plan which batches to manufacture and avoid overproduction or stockouts.

Unoptimized production planning

Without visibility into orders to fulfill and available materials, production day planning is done at the last minute, generating stress, urgent purchases and missed deadlines.

In food production, every batch involves time, materials and a commitment to your distributor clients. Without mastering recipes, batch traceability and cost prices, you can neither defend your prices nor guarantee the consistent quality that the Algerian market demands.

From recipe to exact cost price

In GestiumERP, each manufacturing recipe is formalized with its ingredients, quantities and units. For each batch launched, the system automatically calculates material costs based on actual purchase prices - incorporating supplier price variations.

For each batch produced, you know what it cost you in materials, what your expiry date is and how many kilograms are available for sale. Batch traceability allows you to answer any question from your distributors or a health inspection.
