Every batch. Every line. Every peso.
Recipes and bills of material, production, yield, quality, traceability, buying and the books — one Philippine-built system for a producer.

You know what the batch was supposed to cost. What did it actually cost?
A standard cost is a plan. What actually happened is a different number: the material that came in dearer, the yield that came out lower, the rework nobody logged, the line that ran two hours over. Most producers find the gap in the year-end stock take, as one unexplained figure.
Three problems your trade has that other businesses never do.
A bill of materials is not a recipe card
Multi-level, with sub-assemblies and real costs at every level — and it moves the moment a supplier price moves, so a quotation is costed on today rather than on whenever the sheet was last updated.
- Change one ingredient price and every product above it updates.
- Standard against actual, per run, with the difference explained not absorbed.
- Labor where it was spent, so a product that is hard to make stops looking cheap.
The supplier price rose 8.4 per cent in March and the recipe was never recosted. That is the whole of it.
What happened on the line, not what was planned
What was actually issued, what actually came out, what was condemned and why. Issuing to standard and recording the standard yield produces a variance of zero and teaches nobody anything.
- Downtime with a reason — changeover, breakdown, no material, no operator.
- Rework treated as a cost, attached to the batch that caused it.
- Nothing ships unreleased — a batch that has not passed cannot be picked.
Backwards from the same batch: the supplier, the delivery receipt, the receiving temperature and who signed for it.
Both directions, while the caller is on the line
Backwards from a finished case to every supplier lot inside it. Forwards from a lot to every case, every customer and every delivery date. That is what a recall actually asks, and it is a drill you can run any Tuesday.
- The scope is exact — four customers instead of forty is a different year.
- Certificates of analysis held with the lot they describe.
- It holds after we leave — traceability is the shape of the data, not a report.
Standard is the dashed line. Six runs, and the drift is not noise — it started when the supplier changed.
What your people actually ask it, on an ordinary Tuesday.
Every answer comes from your own records, runs with the asking person’s permissions, and carries the rows it was read from.
- “Which products actually make money once overhead is carried?”
- “Why did yield drop on Line 2?”
- “What did this batch actually cost?”
- “Where did lot 24-0917 go?”
- “What is held in quarantine and why?”
- “Send me the yield variance as a file.”
Every figure comes from a view over your own records — never the model’s arithmetic — and the answer carries the query and the row count behind it. No other ERP sold in the Philippines has this.
The ones this trade asks first.
Does it handle multi-level bills of material?
Yes, with sub-assemblies and real costs at every level. Change one ingredient price and every product above it re-costs, while a quotation is still a draft.
Can we run a recall drill?
Any Tuesday. Pick a lot, ask both questions, and time it — and do it in front of your auditor, which is what turns traceability from a promise into evidence.
What about co-products and by-products?
Both, with cost apportioned on a basis you set. A carcass breaking into primals is exactly this, and it is what the cutting-plant clients run on.
Does quality actually block despatch?
Yes. A batch that has not passed its checks cannot be picked, however busy the week is. That is enforced in the database, not by a policy document.
We have been burned before. What makes this different?
Almost everybody we talk to has a system project that died, and usually the same way: a long implementation, a partner who left, and a go-live date that kept moving. Ours is thirty days with the date written into the contract, we implement it ourselves rather than through a partner, and if thirty days is not realistic for your business we will say so before you sign rather than in month three.
What happens if it does not work out?
You keep everything. Your data comes out in open formats at any time and at no charge, and there is no license to unwind because we do not sell one. A system you cannot leave is a system you do not own.
Who actually answers when something breaks?
We do — one company, one number, and the people who wrote the code. There is no reseller in between and nobody to escalate to. Datche has been trading in Cebu since 1978 and our own business runs on this.
My people are not technical. Will they actually use it?
That is what the assistant is for. A supervisor asks it how to do something and it walks them through that screen in plain English, with their own permissions and their own data. Most of the training a system like this normally needs is somebody wanting to ask a question — and now there is something to ask.
How much of my staff’s time will this take?
Less than a migration, because there is no migration. Your opening balances go in, and after that the system reads the documents you already produce instead of asking your people to key them again. The week that costs you anything is week two, when your own day runs through it with us in the room.
What about BIR?
VAT, withholding, the 2307s, the summary lists and the books of account are the shape of the system rather than a module added at the end, and we supply the documentation your CAS registration needs. We will also tell you what adopting a computerized accounting system obliges you to do by 31 December 2026 — before you sign, not after.
Same system underneath.
