Solutions can bring a real and measurable return on investment.
We’ve worked in the bakery industry and have proven that our Data Navigator, SmartForms and Navi-DASH solutions can bring a real and measurable return on investment. We’ve helped bakery organizations track their raw materials and WIP products better, make more consistent and higher quality product and package, label and ship their finished goods.
Our bakery customer’s senior production management teams rely heavily on the real-time and insightful information reports that our solutions deliver and their businesses gain an operational advantage through their ability to integrate production data to their corporate ERP systems.
Product Receiving & Tracking
In bakeries, our solutions can begin at the receiving dock, where our receiving module can track the receipt of ingredients and packaging materials. Our product tracking module can track those materials as they are put away, moved between storage locations within your facility and then taken into production to be consumed.
Product Manufacturing
As you’re mixing, proofing and baking batches of product, our recipe management module manages your process so you get the right amount of the right ingredients and at the right timings. Our statistical process control (SPC) module will ensure that every batch of your product has the high level of quality and consistency your customers expect.
Packaging, Warehousing & Shipping
Our piece, case and pallet labeling modules ensure that you’re packaging and labeling your finished goods accurately and with industry standard barcodes. Continue product tracking and traceability into your warehouse locations with our warehouse management system and make sure that the right product is shipped to your customers with our shipping module.
Data Reporting, Dashboarding & Integration
Data from your manufacturing processes will be replicated to the central database in real-time. Data is translated into meaningful information and is available in reports, Navi-DASH dashboards or through real-time exception alerting. Data can also be shared with ERP and third-party data systems to provide even more value to your organization.

We first engaged Matrix in 1998 to help us build a new facility in Council Bluffs, IA. We had tight schedules and high expectations for the building of our state of the art Deli Meats & Bacon Processing Plant.
The Matrix Team met our deadlines and exceeded our expectations. They delivered a complete Data Collection, Tracking and Traceability Solution, which sixteen years later continues to deliver real time information on yields, throughput, give away, inventory levels and QA/QC reporting.
Over the years, we have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship. Matrix continues to support our efforts across all of our facilities and their support team is always available and ready to help 24 X 7.
We are delighted to be able to recommend the Matrix Team, without reservation.
I just wanted to reach out to everyone at Matrix and thank you for the awesome support. Interacting with Matrix staff over the past few weeks/months has been great. I would like to thank Rob and Carrie for stopping by our plant, it really meant a lot to us and we appreciated it greatly. Both were fun people to talk with.
When your Matrix Analyst John was here, on site installing our new computers, he did a very good job and it was our pleasure interacting with him. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure getting to know him.
It is always nice to talk to someone on the phone that is friendly, makes me feel like a priority and knows what he or she are talking about. Scott’s customer service on the phones is excellent. Thank you for everything.
