Bakery production planning software built on real demand
A bake plan built from last week’s guess produces this week’s waste. Bakery Dashboard plans production against what each item and each store actually sold, so the list on the wall in the morning is the list the day needs.
A plan that starts from what sold
Sales, shelf counts and expiries flow into one demand picture per item and per store. Production planning reads that picture and proposes what to make, so the plan is grounded in the last few weeks of trading rather than in habit.
- Targets per item and per store, kept current week to week
- Target, remaining and restock on every line
- Seasonality and holiday weeks accounted for
- A statistical optimiser that sets targets from your own history
From plan to oven to van
The plan turns into the work: a bake list for the kitchen, a pull list for the freezer, and a packed box per store for the delivery run. Each step reports back, so the plan stays honest through the day instead of being abandoned by nine in the morning.
- Printable daily bake list, by item and batch
- Freezer pulls scheduled ahead of the bake
- A packing list per store, with at-target stores dropped automatically
- Delivery runs that write back what was actually delivered
Batch sizes that match your recipes
Plans are expressed in the batches you really bake, not in abstract units. Scale a recipe and the ingredient requirement scales with it, so the plan also tells you whether you have the flour to execute it.
Less waste, without under-baking
Planning is a balance between empty shelves and full bins. Because expiration and waste are tracked against the same items, you can see which way each product is erring and adjust the target rather than the guess.
Bakery production planning software: common questions
- How does bakery production planning software decide what to bake?
- Bakery Dashboard builds a demand picture from your recorded sales, shelf counts and expiries, holds a target per item and per store, and proposes production as the gap between the target and what is already on hand or in the freezer.
- Can it plan for several stores or wholesale accounts?
- Yes. Targets are held per store, and the plan produces a packing list for each one, so a bakery supplying multiple shelves plans them together rather than one at a time.
- Does the plan account for freezer stock?
- Yes. Frozen product is counted before anything is scheduled, so the plan asks the oven only for what the freezer cannot already cover.
- Can I print the bake list?
- Yes. The daily bake list and the per-store breakdown both print, so the kitchen can work from paper while the numbers stay in the app.
