Production
In case of a food safety recall, your bakery needs to trace the suppliers of the ingredients that went into any batch of products, as well as identify the businesses you sold those products to.
Instead of using error-prone paper systems or spreadsheets, colleagues enter the vendor lot codes of ingredients that come into the bakery. Cybake then generates internal lot codes and prints out new bar codes to be attached to them.
Individual ingredients are then reliably tracked all the way through production, picking and deliveries in an auditable way.
If a supplier contacts the bakery to say that there is something wrong with an ingredient, Cybake immediately identifies exactly what products that ingredient went into and which companies or stores they were sold to.
If there is a suspicion that something has gone wrong with any ingredients or products at the bakery, it is easy to track and recall them from the businesses or stores that received them. Meet BRC, SALSA, ISO, and FSMA Rule 204 standards.
Rather than using paper prep sheets, Cybake tells colleagues in the production area which products to make, and what amounts to make on tablet or mobile/cell phone screens. And instead of relying on manuals, the software shows colleagues the methods to make them in a clear and user-friendly way with images.
Instructions are fully customized to a bakery’s equipment. If, for example, a bakery has a 140lb mixer, Cybake divides up quantities to match in its instructions. This is particularly useful for bakeries that do not use intelligent mixers or scales.
Cybake suggests the lots the bakers use in production based on either first in, first out (FIFO) or first expiry, first out (FEFO) settings which means they make the most efficient use of ingredients.
Colleagues can also see exactly where ingredients lots are in the bakery, their stock levels, and when they expire.
Because bakeries often need to start baking before they have their orders, Cybake’s new module also allows users to schedule production in advance. Decision makers are given suggestions by Cybake on the numbers they need to schedule production based on customers’ historic orders.
Honestly, on a personal level, it was just life-changing the amount of stress Cybake saved me. I had to work on production eight hours a day, plus work eight hours a day. That’s a 16-hour day. There was no way to live, it was very frustrating.

I would definitely recommend Cybake to anyone who’s looking to grow their bakery. For us, it’s really helped us save time and focus our energies toward products we make the most profit on, basically what we’re the most efficient with, especially with the costing aspect.
Niko Ambeliotis, Mediterra Bakery, Philadelphia, USA
With Cybake, we can get a better understanding of the sales, where they go, what they were and what products are sold. It’s easier to analyse our business now.

We cut waste in half. That’s over a hundred thousand dollars in savings.
Jeff Ostlund, Sandy’s Donuts, Fargo, North Dakota, USA
Cybake is a software system that is designed for, and dedicated to, bakeries. We could not find other software solutions that were built for our particular problem set. We wholeheartedly recommended Cybake for commercial bakeries.
Ben Ellis, 460 Bread, Idaho, USA
Since changing systems to Cybake, we have been very pleased with how easy it is to navigate and how quick it is to access orders and make amendments. Cybake is uncomplicated in its design, and the reporting is great. We are very pleased we made the switch.

I think the big ticket is control. Control for our production team and admin – it’s easier to access the information that we’ve got.
Bryan Seears, Palmerston Bakery, Northern Territory, Australia
The key benefit is control. With Cybake, our store managers can change product orders, record waste and deliveries. This is sent to our bakery electronically, reducing manual processing and improving accuracy.
