01What does it cover for a factory?
- Purchasing where each line says what you are paying for — the good portion only, or the whole delivered weight — and shows your real cost per kilo before you save
- Lots and inventory, warehouses, transfers and stock valuation
- Processing runs that compare expected against actual: output variance, waste variance and cost variance per unit
- Supplier and customer accounts, treasuries, invoices, collections and expenses
- Sales contracts, invoices, quotations and shipments
- 20 built-in reports, including contract profitability, ageing of receivables and payables, inventory valuation and purchase cost
- HR and payroll, and a mobile app for employees
02How does it work out the cost of a batch?
The whole delivered quantity enters the warehouse as one lot with its full cost, while the yield rate decides only what you pay the supplier. Packaging weight is deducted before price and yield. A processing run then compares what was expected with what came out, so the yield, the waste and the cost per unit each show their variance.
03How are supplier accounts kept?
- The supplier account is recomputed from orders and payments rather than accumulated, so it corrects itself
- A payment allocates to the oldest due first, can be refunded, and can be moved to the right supplier when it was booked wrongly
- A discount on a line is money with a reason from a fixed list, which feeds supplier evaluation
- Statements per vendor and customer, exported to PDF, Excel or CSV
04Is it in Arabic, with several companies on one system?
Mizan works in Arabic and English, with a help centre article for every screen in both. Several companies can run on one system, each with its own modules and user cap and its own separate data.
05Is it used for real?
Yes. Mizan runs live for herb and spice processing and export companies and for a certification body. We do not claim a customer in Egypt that we have not named; ask us for a demonstration on your own process.
06Who is behind it, and how do I see it?
mbsystems, a software company founded in 2013 in Vienna, Austria, with offices in Vienna, Cairo and Muscat. We write Mizan ourselves, so a change a factory needs is a change we make.
