The challenge

Generic ERP trips on every shift.

Most ERPs were built around manufacturing — not around fresh produce, recipe yields, central kitchens, late-night stock-outs and municipality fee returns. Every workaround you build costs you margin.

Procurement on gut feel

Buyers negotiate with no purchase history. Delivery cutoffs missed. Expired POs still actioned. Every order is a margin decision made blind.

Inventory you can't trust

At 11 pm the warehouse hits zero on a critical ingredient. Does anyone know? In most F&B operations — not until the morning shift is already scrambling.

Month-end that never ends

Three brands. Two central kitchens. Twelve outlets. And finance spends three weeks every month reconciling inter-company transfers on spreadsheets.

Recipe yield ≠ real yield

The recipe says 1 kg. After butchery and trim you have 720 g. If the BOM doesn't know that, your food cost is wrong — on every plate, every day.

Controls that don't exist

Municipality fees calculated by hand. Posting dates wide open. Vendor corrections with no audit trail. Month-end starts to feel like an archaeological dig.

No location-level security

Staff in Outlet A can view and edit inventory, POs and ledgers from Outlet B. Every document type, exposed to every user.

The solution

One platform. Built around F&B.

A complete F&B platform built natively into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. No middleware. No integration layer. One installable extension, twelve functional areas, every workflow F&B operations actually run.

Before · After

The shift, side by side.

The day-to-day friction you live with on generic ERP — and how the same scenarios look once ANNOYA is in.

Without ANNOYA

  • Buyer scrolls six vendor sheets to pick a supplier
  • Stock-out at 11 pm — discovered at 9 am next morning
  • Inter-entity reconciliation lives in eight spreadsheets
  • Recipe says 1 kg, kitchen uses 1.4 kg, food cost is wrong
  • Municipality fees computed manually per outlet per month
  • Staff at Outlet A reads ledgers of Outlet B
  • Posting-period mistakes break month-end
  • Vendor corrections with no reason code, no audit trail

With ANNOYA

  • Best vendor auto-picked by price + lead + preference
  • Email alert the second a SKU hits its minimum threshold
  • Inter-entity posting + GL settlement, automatic, days not weeks
  • BOM yield % tracks raw → trim → plate, food cost is real
  • Municipality fee engine runs on every posting, hands-off
  • Location filter hides B from A — at the system level
  • Posting-date policy enforced tenant-wide, every entity
  • Correction wizard + reason code + field-level change log

Six themes. Real depth in each.

The operational areas where ANNOYA changes the day-to-day for F&B teams — procurement, inventory, multi-entity, kitchen, finance and security.

01 · SMART PROCUREMENT

Stop losing margin on the wrong vendor

Every purchase order is a margin decision. ANNOYA makes it an intelligent one — automatically, every time.

  • Vendor auto-suggestion by price, lead-time & preference rank
  • Last purchase price + date for every item-vendor combo
  • Delivery schedules per vendor per location with cutoff alerts

02 · INVENTORY INTELLIGENCE

Live stock. Every location. Always.

In F&B, inventory isn't just operations — it's food safety, compliance and profitability rolled into one.

  • Email alerts the moment stock falls below min threshold
  • Location-based access — staff at A can't see B
  • Physical inventory approvals — no count posts without sign-off
  • Mandatory reason codes on every adjustment

03 · MULTI-ENTITY OPS

Weeks of reconciliation → days

Three brands. Two central kitchens. Twelve outlets. Different legal entities. One system that runs all of it.

  • Auto-link SO + PO when one entity orders from another
  • Transfer pricing engine — markup at category or item level
  • GL-level Due From / Due To settlement managed automatically
  • Complete audit trail across every inter-entity transaction

04 · PRODUCTION & KITCHEN

From recipe to reality — the yield gap, closed

The recipe says 1 kg. After butchery and trim you have 720 g. ANNOYA knows that — and plans procurement accordingly.

  • BOM yield % per component — trim, cook, portion variance
  • Assembly BOM versioning — Draft → Certified → Closed
  • Menu engineering — Stars, Plowhorses, Puzzles, Dogs
  • Shop production summary drives central-kitchen planning

F&B finance has specific compliance challenges. ANNOYA was built around them — not adapted to them.

  • Posting-date policy enforced tenant-wide, every entity
  • Municipality fee engine — posting group, item or all lines
  • Correction wizards with mandatory reason-code audit trail
  • Field-level change log on every ledger modification

Implementation

From discovery to go-live in three to four weeks.

ANNOYA is a native Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC extension — no middleware, no integration project, no separate database. It deploys directly into your existing BC tenant via our implementation service.

01

Discovery

We map your F&B operations — locations, entities, workflows, compliance — and configure ANNOYA around them.

02

Configuration

Vendor rules, location hierarchies, BOM structures, approval chains, finance controls — set up in your BC tenant.

03

Migration

Vendor master, item master, SKUs, opening balances — migrated with full validation before any go-live.

04

Go-Live

Role-based training. Hypercare during cutover. Novasoft alongside you at every step.

What clients say

Trusted by F&B leaders across the Gulf.

Novasoft completed our ERP implementation remotely in less than three months. We had been struggling for years with our previous vendor. ANNOYA understood our F&B operations from day one.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask us most.

Is ANNOYA a separate system or does it sit inside Business Central?

ANNOYA is a native AL extension installed directly into your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central tenant. There is no separate database, no middleware, no integration project. You stay on the BC platform — ANNOYA is additional functionality unlocked inside it.

How long does an ANNOYA implementation take?

Typical go-live is three to four weeks. The timeline is possible because ANNOYA is a packaged AL extension — discovery, configuration, data migration, training and cutover all run inside that window. We do not need to write F&B functionality during your project.

How many functional areas does ANNOYA cover?

Twelve: Purchasing, Vendor Lifecycle, Sales, Inventory & Warehouse, Item Lifecycle, Inter-Entity Transactions, Transfer Pricing, Production & Assembly, Finance & Accounting, Approval Workflows, Document Access & Security, and Setup & Administration. All 14 core modules and 7 NOVA add-on modules.

Does ANNOYA support multi-entity / multi-brand operations?

Yes. ANNOYA is designed for groups running multiple legal entities, brands, central kitchens and outlets in one tenant. Auto-link of inter-entity orders, transfer-pricing engine, GL-level Due From / Due To settlement, and complete audit trail across entities are core capabilities.

Which Gulf compliance requirements does ANNOYA support?

UAE municipality fees, VAT (UAE & KSA), KSA ZATCA e-invoicing context, posting-period control, dimensional VAT entries, and field-level change-log audit. Localisation is built around Gulf operating realities — not adapted from a generic global template.

What does support look like post go-live?

NovaCare — Novasoft's managed support engagement. Defined L1/L2/L3 response and resolution windows, named delivery lead, quarterly business reviews, environment health-checks, and user-enablement workshops. Same team that builds ANNOYA supports it.

Is ANNOYA available on Microsoft AppSource?

ANNOYA is delivered as a per-tenant extension installed by Novasoft on engagement. Selected modules are being prepared for Microsoft AppSource listing — ask us about availability for your scenario.
