Gain agility in management and make better, data-driven decisions.
Tailored solutions to drive continuous improvement and boost competitiveness.
Powerful visibility
Intelligent dashboards allow access to detailed, real-time information from across your entire operation. A tailored dashboard puts your business priorities front and centre to save valuable time that would otherwise be wasted sifting through large volumes of insignificant data, or liaising back and forth between departments. Operational issues can be detected immediately and problematic trends can be identified in advance for preventative maintenance – all on the move, and from a variety of devices.


Actionable reporting
An effective reporting tool presents information in an easily understood format so contextual data can be considered. The data can be cleansed and sorted in advance before being used in the report to clearly demonstrate broader scope, high-level insights.
Astec’s supportable, off-the-shelf software solutions can provide complete genealogy and traceability of the ingredient supply, warehousing, manufacturing, shipping and consumer delivery chain so they can be tracked and recorded to ensure health and safety regulatory compliance to the highest standard.
