Manufacturing · Bakery Product Manufacturer Management Software

Standing orders, dough batches, ingredient lots and route returns in one bakery record.

Manage outlet orders, bake plans, dough batches, ingredient lots, allergen changeovers, wrapping, van loading and returns in one system. Each dough batch holds the flour and yeast lots it used, the oven it went through and the trays it filled. The planner reads yesterday’s returns before setting tonight’s bake. Drivers confirm drops and collections on a phone.

  • Products, tray sizes, routes and recipes held in the units your planner already uses
  • Outlet lists and standing orders migrated
  • Allergen and shelf-life rules named by your head baker

Factory bakeries making bread, buns, biscuits, rusks and cakes for shops and wholesale plan orders, bake runs and dough batches here, configured by GullySystem. Each batch carries its flour lots, oven, trays and best-before date. Van routes and returns follow the same record. Allergen and shelf-life rules come from your head baker.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Outlets change quantities by phone

A shop adds twenty loaves after the sheet is printed. The change reaches the mixer too late. The van leaves short.

Flour sacks are not linked to the bread

The mixing sheet notes a sack number and the dispatch note does not. Nobody can tell which flour lot went into a loaf a customer complained about.

Oven and rack time is planned by feel

Proofing, bake time and cooling rack space are worked out on a whiteboard. A late batch blocks the wrapping line.

Allergen cleaning is a verbal handover

A tin that held sesame buns goes to the plain line. Whether it was washed depends on the supervisor’s memory.

Returns carry no reason

Crates of stale buns come back. They are written off in one lump. The product and route that caused it stay unknown.

Best-before dates are keyed by hand

A cake and a loaf have different lives. One wrong date on a wrapping run reaches the shelves unspotted.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Orders close

    Totals are struck at cut-off. Outlet orders and standing patterns are grouped by product, tray size and route.

  2. 2

    Planning the night

    The planner turns the totals into dough batches for each mixer, with oven slots and cooling rack space.

  3. 3

    Mixing and lots

    Each batch records the flour, yeast, fat and improver lots weighed to the recipe.

  4. 4

    Baking and cooling

    Oven, tray count and any short or burnt trays are noted. Cooled product moves to slicing.

  5. 5

    Wrapping and loading

    Packs are dated and lot coded. Trays and crates are counted onto the van.

  6. 6

    Delivery and returns

    Drivers confirm each drop, collect empties and log unsold trays, which become credits and next week’s plan input.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Outlet orders and standing patterns

Hold each shop’s weekly pattern and one-off changes by product and tray size, and close the order at the cut-off hour.

Mixer and oven planning

Propose dough batches from order totals, and show proofing, oven slot and rack time for every batch.

Recipes and improvers

Keep each recipe with its flour blend, fat, yeast and improver quantities, scaled to the batch size chosen.

Dough batch records

Capture ingredient lots, mixing time, dough temperature and the oven the batch went into.

Allergen changeover log

Require the clean-down checks and a supervisor signature when a line moves between nut, egg, sesame and plain products.

Shelf life and date coding

Store the life of each product and pack, and print the best-before date and lot code at wrapping.

Tray, crate and van loading

Count trays and crates by outlet and route, and give drivers a loading list and a drop-off sheet.

Returns and credit notes

Log unsold trays by outlet and product, raise credits, and show routes with the heaviest returns.

Ingredient stock and purchasing

Track flour, fat, sugar and packaging stock against the bake plan and raise purchase orders for sacks and film.

Dispatch and customer statements

Issue delivery notes, tax invoices and weekly statements for shops and wholesale accounts.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Order Management

    Standing patterns and one-off changes are held per shop, then closed at the cut-off hour so the plan works from a fixed list of trays.

  • Production Planning

    Order totals become dough batches for each mixer, and the planner sees oven slot and cooling rack time before any dough is made.

  • Bill of Materials

    Each recipe lists flour blend, fat, yeast and improver quantities that scale to the number of loaves or trays in the batch.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Flour and yeast lots are recorded per dough batch, so a complaint about one pack leads back to the sacks it used.

  • Quality Control

    A line cannot start its next product until the clean-down checks are ticked and the supervisor signs the changeover.

  • Barcodes and Labels

    Wrapping prints a best-before date and lot code taken from the shelf life stored for each product and pack.

  • Sales Returns and Credit Notes

    Unsold trays counted by the driver become a credit against the outlet, and the product and route stay on the record.

  • Stock Tracking and Alerts

    Flour, fat and film stock is compared with next week’s plan, and low items raise an alert for the buyer.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For the bake planner

Total the orders and adjust batches. Read yesterday’s returns before the night shift starts.

For mixing and oven leads

See the batch sheet for each mixer, record lots weighed, and mark the oven time and tray count.

For line supervisors

Sign the allergen changeover and the wrapping date check before a run begins.

For dispatch and drivers

Load the van by route. Confirm each drop and log returned trays from a phone.

For quality staff

Search by lot number. See which batches, outlets and routes received a given flour sack.

Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

Products and recipes

Breads, buns, cakes and biscuits go in with their recipes, tray sizes and pack types, the way your planner reads them.

Routes and outlets

Delivery routes, drop-off points and standing patterns are loaded and checked with your dispatch team.

Allergen rules

The products that carry nuts, egg or sesame, and the clean-down checks between them, follow your own quality procedure.

Shelf-life settings

Product and pack lives are entered per item so the wrapping line prints the right date.

Records migrated

Outlet accounts, price lists and unpaid balances are keyed in from the books your office keeps today.

Messages and documents

Delivery notes and statements go by email, and order changes can arrive over WhatsApp or other messaging.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Can the plan follow orders that change after cut-off?

Yes. Late changes are flagged against the closed list. The planner decides whether to add a small extra batch or short the route.

How are allergen changes handled between lines?

Each line carries a checklist of the clean-down steps your quality team defines. A signed entry is needed before the next product is started.

Can I trace a complaint back to one flour sack?

Yes. Enter the lot number and the system lists the dough batches, wrapping runs, vans and outlets that received that flour.

Will drivers need a special device?

No. A driver’s phone is enough. It confirms drops, counts empties and notes returned trays against each outlet.

Can products with different shelf lives share one line?

Yes. A cake, a loaf and a biscuit each carry their own life. The wrapping line prints the right date.

Does it handle credit notes for unsold trays?

Yes. Returned trays are entered per outlet and product, and a credit note is raised from the count the driver confirms.

Is last year’s order history usable?

Yes. Outlet patterns and past order totals can be imported from spreadsheets, so planning starts with real numbers from the first night.

What does a demo cover?

A demo uses a handful of your own products and routes, so you see an order become a bake plan, a dough batch and a loaded van.
