Most baked products last for hours, not days—so bakery operations need to run with precision to avoid problems.
Empty cases before the day is over
Manual recipe and schedule management
Running out of ingredients needed for production
Recipe intelligence, yield and perishability assessment, and automated baking plans
Afresh uses bakery-specific AI models, trained on a decade of data, to provide smarter orders, production plans, and inventory management.
Order recommendations reflect what your bakery actually sells to avoid shrink and missed sales
Production plans suggest quantities that match customer shopping patterns so shelves stay full
Stores and DCs work from the same picture to lower inventory and meet demand
Your bakery orders frozen plain donuts by the case, then thaws and bakes them in-store each day. After baking, store teams finish them with vanilla and chocolate glazes on-site and sell them under a generic donut PLU. Here's how Afresh handles it, from item orders to the donut case.
Store Ordering
The right quantities to meet demand, every time
Afresh forecasts how many glazed donuts (plain, vanilla, chocolate) your store will sell in a day and recommends how many cases of frozen plain donuts to order.
Inventory Management
Always know what's in the freezer and on the shelf
Afresh forecasts how many glazed donuts (plain, vanilla, chocolate) your store will sell in a day and recommends how many cases of frozen plain donuts to order.
Production Planning
What to bake, what to mix, and when to start
Store teams get multi-step plans that schedule thawing, baking, and glaze mixing. Plans automatically consolidate batches for ingredient preparation shared across items, like the base glaze mix, and include the most up-to-date recipe instructions.
Period Ending Inventory
Accurate counts with less work
Inventory models update in real time, so at the end of period, store teams see pre-populated estimates for items like frozen donut cases or powdered sugar, making period-end inventory counts faster and more accurate.
DC Buying
Store and DC decisions stay connected
When donuts go on promotion, upstream purchase orders for frozen plain donuts adjust automatically. The buyer's recommendation reflects what every store actually needs, with lead times and pack constraints factored in.
