How does FlexiBake work?

A major difference is that we concentrate solely on the Food Manufacturing Industry. Every feature in FlexiBake has been added based on feedback from our users, all of whom are bakeries or other food and beverage manufacturers. FlexiBake ERP bakery software does not force you to work with an unfamiliar accounting application as we support data import to virtually all commercial accounting software. We are the developers of the bakery software and own all the rights to it. We also do not outsource our support function.

FlexiBake has been designed to fit start-up businesses up to mid-sized operations. We have different plans available to give our customers the opportunity to start small and add on functionality as their business grows.

Our customers range from mom and pop retails stores up to businesses generating well over $50 million in annual revenues. We have customers currently running more than 20 simultaneous users working in the bakery system and offer many options including costing, nutritional, live inventory, production, and much more.

We export all Account Receivable data to the most common accounting programs including QuickBooks, Xero, Sage 50 and 300, Microsoft GP, MYOB along with others and simple .csv exports.

At this time we do not offer a Point of Sales System, nor do we recommend one specific POS system to integrate with our system. Our suggestion would be to find the POS system that best works with your business, specify the information you’d like to interface with FlexiBake bakery software and then let us know what file format that POS system will allow you to export.

On-Premise: Every customers systems and network regulations are different so we leave the process of backing up the database to your I.T. staff. We will gladly assist them in any questions or concerns they may have.

On-Cloud: Accounts include secure automatic daily and weekly data backups and offsite storage

We provide support to all staff members to ensure your business stays operational. In situations where sensitive information is being requested, we will reach out to the main contact or owner of the bakery or business to discuss the request before providing the support.

• Peer-to-Peer: A network where all workstations are considered ‘equal’ and any workstation may function as both a ‘client’ and a ‘server’ to all other workstations on the network.
• Client Server Network: A client-server network is a network where one workstation is configured as a stand-alone server and all other workstations are configured as client machines.
• Remote Desktop Service: In Remote Desktop mode FlexiBake and the database are placed on the computer running terminal services. FlexiBake is then accessed by the remote client machines which can be either fully-fledged computers running any operating system that supports the terminal services protocol (this includes virtually all 32-bit windows systems, Windows Mobile and Apple’s Mac OS X), or bare-bones machine powerful enough to support terminal services.

FlexiBake uses the portable and flexible Jet 4.0 database developed by Microsoft®.

We allow a password protected read-only connection to the database for third party applications to utilize. This is disabled by default and will require assistance from FlexiBake software support to setup.
