Processor's business issues
Procurement Management	•  Manage your green coffee coverage on real time basis •  Track supplier's delivery performance
Inventory Management	• How much green coffee by quality or blend category, do I have in each location - plant(s) and warehouse? • Record inventory consumption by lot
Forecasting	• Based on latest demand and existing inventory, open purchases AND planned purchases, what will be my inventory levels for each blend category going out 12/18 months?
Financial Management	• What is my physical and futures realized and unrealized profit? • How does it break down by supplier/customer? Time period? Product type? • How can I forecast my green coffee cost blend by category?
Invoice Management	• Which of these invoices piled on my desk should I approve? • How can I be sure I have not overpaid?
