How does FlexiBake work?

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does implementing FlexiBake bakery software in a business normally take?

On average, implementation of FlexiBake bakery software takes 6 weeks to 3 months. This depends entirely on the amount of resources and time allocated to the project.

What differentiates FlexiBake from other software in the ERP industry?

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.

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.
