One system runs your whole food business — from the factory floor to the counter to the accounts.
The AI-powered food production & distribution ERP built for South-Asian food businesses. Production planning, inventory, distribution agents, POS/eCommerce and finance — in one place your staff actually enjoy using.
What is a food production ERP — and how is it different from a POS?
A food production ERP runs a food business end-to-end — recipe and batch production planning, factory-floor inventory, distribution-agent tracking, POS and finance — in one system, where a POS only rings up sales. Nanobotz builds this for South-Asian bakeries, food manufacturers and multi-outlet operators, in Sinhala, Tamil or English.
the tension
Running a food business shouldn't mean guessing.
You're guessing how much to bake. Chasing stock that never matches the till. Finding out you lost money to waste or a festive-day sell-out only when it's too late. And your numbers? They live in a POS, a spreadsheet, a WhatsApp group and your accountant's head — and they never agree.
None of that is a discipline problem. It's a systems problem. When production, stock, distribution and accounts are four disconnected tools, nobody can see the whole picture — least of all you.
What a food production ERP does that a POS can't
A POS tells you what sold. A food ERP tells you what to make, what to move, and what it really cost — connecting your production kitchen, your outlets, your delivery agents and your books into one source of truth. Once you run a kitchen, multiple outlets or agents, that's the difference between guessing and knowing.
the named framework
The Factory-to-Counter stack: the five layers a food business actually needs.
Not all "food ERP" is the same. Here's the five-layer stack a growing South-Asian food business needs — and the layer a generic POS stops at.
- 1
Production & recipe planning
Decide what and how much to make, with real ingredient and batch costs.
A POS has none of this.
- 2
Inventory, factory to outlet
Live stock from the store room to every counter, with transfers and wastage tracked.
- 3
Distribution & agents
A mobile app for every delivery agent's stock, returns and cash — so leakage and disputed returns end.
- 4
POS & eCommerce
The sales layer, online and in-store, sharing one inventory.
- 5
Finance
One set of books that reconciles to the operation, not a spreadsheet you rebuild every month.
Nanobotz runs all five as one system. Most tools give you one or two and leave you to stitch the rest together by hand.

This is the actual product — not a mock-up.
BakeryMate, our Food Business Management ERP, running the whole operation from one place.
One live dashboard — real cost, real stock, every outlet, in real time.
Who it's for — and who it isn't.
It's for you if
You run a production kitchen or factory plus outlets or delivery agents — a bakery, confectionery, central/cloud kitchen, food manufacturer or multi-outlet operator, roughly 1–50 locations, that's outgrown spreadsheets and a basic POS.
It's probably not for you (yet) if
You're a single till with no kitchen and no distribution — a good POS may be all you need. We'll tell you that honestly rather than sell you more than you need.

Adoption is the whole point, not an afterthought. The interface stays clean while the AI handles the complexity underneath. The proof we hold ourselves to: a weekly report that takes 47 clicks in a legacy ERP takes 3 in a Nanobotz system. Your counter, production and distribution staff use it in Sinhala, Tamil or English — so it gets used, not abandoned.
clicks to pull a weekly report
47 in a legacy ERP. 3 in a Nanobotz system. That difference isn't a feature. It's a feeling.
the proof
Local food manufacturers run on it — and the team behind it is trusted to digitise government.
Local food manufacturers run on it, including Golden Bird Bakery & Confectionary and Mikigans. And the team behind it is trusted to digitise government institutions — cutting process time 60% at the National Housing Development Authority.

What's the difference between a food ERP and a POS?
A POS records sales at the counter; a food production ERP runs the whole business — production planning, factory inventory, distribution agents, POS and finance — as one connected system. Nanobotz's food ERP links your kitchen, vans and accounts so stock and cost are always live, not reconciled after the fact.
Is it built for Sri Lankan / South-Asian food businesses?
Yes. Nanobotz builds specifically for South-Asian bakeries, confectioneries, food manufacturers and multi-outlet operators, with Sinhala, Tamil and English support and local implementation — unlike US or Indian ERPs that carry no local language, pricing or on-the-ground support.
Will my staff who aren't "tech people" actually use it?
Adoption is the design goal, not an afterthought. The guiding proof: a weekly report that takes 47 clicks in a legacy ERP takes 3 in a Nanobotz system. Simplicity that performs is why floor and production staff log in willingly.
Can I start small and scale up?
Yes. Start with an MVP on one part of your operation — production, or distribution — prove it, then add POS, finance and the rest across every outlet as you grow.
