From raw materials
to finished products.
Streamline manufacturing from recipe to production run. Calculate exact raw material quantities, track costs and wastage, assign lot numbers and manage expiry dates — all in one platform.
Recipe. Production.
Everything automated.
RetailWings manufacturing is built around two core processes — defining your recipe and executing your production run — with all calculations handled automatically.
Step 1: Recipe
Define the exact proportions of raw materials or ingredients needed to produce one unit of your finished product. Your recipe becomes the foundation of every production run — ensuring consistent quality every batch.
Step 2: Production
Enter the quantity of finished product you need to manufacture. RetailWings automatically calculates the exact total of every raw material required, deducts from inventory and tracks the full production run to completion.
Know the true cost
of every product you make
RetailWings calculates the complete cost of every production run — raw materials, labour, operational costs and wastage — giving you the true cost per unit and a clear basis for pricing.
Every manufacturing tool
your business needs
A complete manufacturing module for African food, beverage, cosmetics and FMCG businesses — from recipe creation to production tracking, cost analysis and compliance.
Recipe Management
Define exact ingredient proportions for every product. Set yield, wastage rates and cost inputs — your recipe is the foundation of every production run.
Production Planning
Enter the batch size and RetailWings automatically calculates the exact raw material quantities needed for the entire production run.
Cost Calculation
Automatically calculate the total cost per production run — raw materials, labour, operational costs and wastage — to give you the true cost per unit.
Wastage Tracking
Track wastage from both raw materials and finished products per production run. Monitor wastage rates over time and reduce losses systematically.
Lot Number Assignment
Assign unique lot numbers to every production batch for full traceability — track which raw materials went into which batch from production to sale.
Expiry Date Management
Set expiry dates on every finished product batch. Ensure FEFO stock rotation and receive alerts when products are approaching expiry.
Inventory Integration
Raw materials auto-deducted from inventory on production start. Finished products added to inventory on completion — zero manual stock adjustment.
Ingredient Adjustment
Adjust ingredient quantities mid-production to account for batch variations or recipe changes on the factory floor — all adjustments logged.
Production Reference Numbers
Customize production reference number formats to match your business or regulatory requirements — full control over numbering sequences.
Permissions & Roles
Control which team members can create recipes, start production runs, approve batches or view cost data — granular access control per role.
Production Reports
Detailed reports on units produced, raw material consumed, wastage rates and cost per unit by product and period — exportable as PDF or CSV.
Cost Trend Analysis
Track production costs over time per product. Identify rising raw material costs, improving wastage rates and profitability trends per SKU.
