The system consists of four integrated software modules — Quality Manager, Production Manager, Stock Controller, and Auditor — that together cover quality checks, production recipes and batch traceability, warehouse inventory, and audit management for food production sites. RDS Limited also develops bespoke applications for food producers with specific operational requirements such as piece recording, crop management, machinery, harvesting, and packhouse solutions.
