How much butter do I actually have left?

« I always order a bit extra, just in case — but the surplus weighs on cash flow »

What if another supplier offered me a better price on flour?

If butter goes up, what's the impact on my recipe costs?

The transition

What changes

Before

  • Stock estimated from memory, repeated physical counts
  • Shortages discovered during production
  • Purchase prices written down somewhere... or not
  • No way to tell which supplier is cheapest for the same ingredient
  • Allergens and nutritional values? Somewhere in a binder

With LogiBake

  • Stock updated with every invoice — consumption tracked by batch at each production
  • Days remaining and estimated stockout date, ingredient by ingredient
  • Price trend chart with full purchase history
  • Average cost and latest price displayed per supplier, for each ingredient
  • Allergens and nutritional values on the card, ready for labelling
In practice

What you gain

1

In the morning, before ordering

You see at a glance which ingredients are nearing their stock threshold. With the days remaining and the associated supplier, you know what to order and from whom.

2

When a price changes

The purchase history and price curve are right there. You can see whether it's a one-off spike or a trend, and compare across suppliers.

3

For your technical sheets

Each ingredient knows which recipes and products it's used in. If you update an ingredient, the cost of every related sheet follows.

4

For labelling

The 14 regulatory allergens and nutritional values are recorded on each ingredient card. Your product labelling follows directly from this data.

Key takeaway

Every ingredient has a complete card: price evolution across purchases, nutritional values, allergens, and the exact list of recipes and products that use it. It's your stockroom — digitised.
