Food ERP Software — Full Control from Farm to Shelf

ZTO Fabrika is a digital factory operating system that combines ERP, MES, Finance and IoT in a single SaaS platform for agricultural and food producers, creating a real-time digital twin of your facility. It tracks, optimises and reports every process from goods receipt to shipment.

What Is Food ERP Software?

Food ERP software is an enterprise resource planning solution that manages all production, inventory, quality and financial processes — from raw material receipt to finished product shipment — within a single digital system. Unlike generic ERP platforms, it places food and agriculture-specific requirements at its core: lot traceability, shelf-life management, weighbridge integration and HACCP compliance.

ZTO Fabrika takes this further: conventional ERP records data; ZTO Fabrika manages and optimises processes. Built on 16 years of sector experience, the platform creates a real-time digital twin of your facility.

How Does It Differ from a Generic ERP?

General-purpose ERP systems struggle with the dynamic nature of food production: seasonal raw material variability, critical control points, multiple certification requirements and real-time production monitoring are rarely handled out of the box.

ZTO Fabrika closes this gap by combining ERP with MES (Manufacturing Execution System), a Finance module and an IoT sensor layer under one roof. The result: up to 18% efficiency gain and 90% reduction in errors — figures validated in the field.

• Workflows designed specifically for food and agriculture
• Real-time MES integration — live data from the production line
• IoT sensors for environmental and process monitoring
• Lot-based traceability and recall management
• Support for HACCP, GlobalG.A.P. and export certification

What Are the Core Modules?

ZTO Fabrika's modular architecture adapts to the scale and needs of your operation. Every module integrates with the others; data is entered once and flows across all processes.

The Goods Receipt and Weighbridge module captures incoming raw materials through weighing, sampling and analysis stages. The Production-MES module monitors the entire production process in real time, from recipe management to line performance. The Finance module links cost analysis to production data, while the Quality module manages critical control points and certification workflows.

• Goods Receipt and Weighbridge: weighing, sampling, laboratory integration
• Production-MES: recipe management, line tracking, yield and waste analysis
• Finance: cost accounting, profitability, budgeting and forecasting
• Quality: HACCP control points, deviation management, certification
• Inventory and Warehouse: lot-based FEFO, cold chain tracking
• Dispatch and Traceability: unbroken farm-to-shelf visibility

Which ERP and Accounting Systems Does It Integrate With?

ZTO Fabrika does not require you to replace your existing enterprise infrastructure. It offers API-based integration with widely used ERP and accounting platforms including Logo, SAP, Mikro and Uyumsoft. Financial data flows bidirectionally, eliminating manual entry and the errors that come with it.

The integration architecture is built on open API standards. For bespoke connector requirements, our project team provides dedicated support.

Which Sectors and Markets Is It Designed For?

ZTO Fabrika is designed primarily for businesses operating in fresh fruit and vegetable processing, citrus and dried fruit export, olive oil production, grain processing and cold chain logistics. Developed at the Mersin Agropark hub, the platform reflects the requirements of Turkish exporters and North African markets — Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia.

Reporting modules built around EU sustainability standards and European export certification requirements simplify investor and buyer audits. The platform's carbon footprint tracking feature supports operations working towards sustainability targets.

• Fresh produce packing and export facilities
• Citrus, dried fruit and hazelnut processing plants
• Olive oil and vegetable oil producers
• Grain, flour and feed mills
• Cold storage and logistics operators

How Do You Get Started with ZTO Fabrika?

The implementation process begins with a discovery meeting: your current processes, integration needs and goals are mapped. A tailored demo then shows how the platform fits your specific operation.

SaaS architecture means no infrastructure investment is required; cloud-based deployment enables fast go-live. Our implementation methodology — shaped by over 7,500 processed batches and 16 years of industry experience — ensures a smooth transition.
