Improve your financial performance and competitive position

Food & beverage operations are defined by tight delivery windows, short shelf lives, and strict quality requirements. Pinja helps producers stabilise operations under pressure — turning operational precision into measurable financial results.

Improve delivery reliability (OTIF)

In food production, being early or late can be just as costly as not delivering at all. Pinja helps you align sales, production, and logistics so every order arrives on time and in full, even within narrow delivery windows.

The impact:
  • Delivery accuracy above 95 %
  • Fewer reclamations and penalty fees
  • Stronger retailer relationships and contract security

Reduce waste and tied-up capital

Perishability makes excess inventory a liability. With accurate forecasting, FEFO-based planning, and real-time visibility, you reduce spoilage while keeping availability high.

The impact:
  • 15–20 % reduction in raw material waste
  • Smaller inventories without increasing risk
  • Improved cash flow and capital efficiency

Increase operational efficiency

Optimise the full production flow — from batch sequencing and changeovers to maintenance and energy usage. Pinja helps you get more out of existing capacity without compromising quality or safety.

The impact:
  • Higher throughput and OEE
  • Fewer unplanned stoppages
  • Lower energy and water consumption per unit produced

Pinja Food & Beverage Cloud connects strategic planning with daily execution

Many food & beverage companies face a disconnect between commercial plans and production reality. Sales targets are set, but the impact of shelf life, capacity, and cleaning requirements only becomes visible too late.

Pinja Food & Beverage Cloud connects all operational layers so plans stay realistic — and execution stays predictable.

Strategic planning (1–12 months)
Sales targets, promotions, and sourcing plans form a realistic production baseline.

Production planning (1–4 weeks)
AI-supported scheduling accounts for shelf life, allergens, batch sizes, and capacity constraints.

Daily operations
Real-time data from production, quality, and maintenance flows back automatically — keeping plans grounded in reality.

How it works in practice

Demand planning (Sales Planning) → Sales targets and demand forecasts account for seasonality, promotions, shelf life, and delivery windows — turning market demand into realistic, deliverable volumes.

Production scheduling (Production Operations – APS) → AI-optimised schedules sequence recipes, allergens, and cleaning cycles while accounting for capacity, raw materials, and freshness constraints.

Plant operations execution (Production Operations – MES) → Daily production activities follow prioritised workflows. Actual performance and quality data flows back automatically.

Real-time visibility (Real-Time Monitoring) → Live process and equipment data highlights deviations in e.g. quality, throughput, or temperature before deliveries are at risk.

Equipment reliability (Maintenance Operations) → Preventive maintenance is planned around hygiene and production schedules, protecting uptime and avoiding last-minute disruptions.
