Software for the Food & Beverage Industry

The Dutch food & beverage sector encompasses everything from artisan producers and restaurant chains to large-scale food processors and delivery platforms. The industry faces constant pressure from rising raw material prices, strict food safety requirements (HACCP, NVWA), and growing consumer expectations for fast, transparent delivery. Custom software makes it possible to digitise the entire process: from order intake and inventory to production, quality control, and last-mile delivery. MG Software builds solutions that connect the entire food chain and meet the strictest hygiene and traceability standards.

Pain points

• Manual order processing via phone, email, and WhatsApp leading to errors, duplicate orders, and delays
• Inaccurate inventory management causing product spoilage, stockouts, or over-purchasing
• Complex HACCP registrations still maintained on paper, risking errors during food safety inspections
• Lack of a proprietary delivery platform resulting in high commissions paid to platforms like Thuisbezorgd and Uber Eats
• No insight into food cost, margins per dish, and waste due to fragmented systems without centralised reporting
