PICS - Processing Inventory Commodity System

Purpose-Built Software for Food Processors Managing Contracts, Receiving, Inventory, Production, and Logistics

PICS is a purpose-built agricultural processing management system designed for the unique needs of the food processing industry. Developed by agricultural processors for agricultural processors, PICS provides the specialized tools needed to manage grower relationships, grower contracts, sales contracts, receiving, lot traceability, inventory, production, warehouse operations, and logistics.

ERP systems are built to manage broad business functions, but agricultural processing requires specialized workflows that are often difficult to achieve with standard solutions. PICS works alongside your ERP to provide the industry-specific capabilities your operations need—helping processors improve visibility, streamline processes, and run their business more efficiently.
