Animal Feed Manufacturing

Through our work with I’Anson Brothers, we recognised the need for an advanced AX solution for Animal Feed Manufacturers and Distributors. We also knew that we could deliver massive business benefits and competitive advantage beyond any other system available. With this in mind we have developed FeedAX as a specific industry solution within the Microsoft Dynamics AX framework.  The combination of a Dynamics AX / FeedAX solution, delivered by Sense, offers a low risk, high reward choice for your business.

The manufacture and distribution of animal feedstuffs is a long established practice that plays a key role in the agricultural supply chain. With processes and techniques that have evolved over many years the requirements of a modern feed mill are complex and demanding.

Today’s successful feed millers are able to respond to the ever changing market and regulatory conditions whilst maintaining the quality of service, flexibility and competitiveness that has traditionally been the hall mark of the industry. Achieving all this whilst optimising manufacturing plant performance and effective utilisation of staff is an ever increasing challenge that many are striving to meet.

FeedAX extends the standard functionality of Microsoft Dynamics AX adding agricultural, and more specifically feed milling functionality for feed manufacture and distribution.  FeedAX consists of the following modules:

• FeedAX Contracting – provides up-to-the-minute information on positions and movements.
• FeedAX Sales - will streamline the order entry and order management process and will drive production and transport planning.
• FeedAX Transport - will provide a simple, quick and powerful planning tool to your transport department. The integrated purchase order and self billing capabilities will reduce administration and provided a real-time accrual of costs.
• FeedAX Weighbridge - changes the way information flows round your site. See updates to orders as they happen. Spot exception and problems and tackle them up front. Reduce administration and issues invoices faster and with no manual intervention.
• FeedAX Compliance Reporting - supports changes or additional legislation with simple, rapid reports and interfaces to help you get the information you need for compliance reporting with the minimum of effort.
• FeedAX Processes Control Integration - By integrating process and financial systems at key points, FeedAX provides the ability to view real-time stocks and production performance.
• FeedAX Formulation Integration - By simplifying the process of information transfer between formulation and FeedAX, the option to run “what if” scenarios more frequently becomes realistic
