Family-owned producer Clarys develops tailor-made powder blends for bakeries, meat, soups, sauces and ready-made meals. With over 700 raw materials, 1.000 recipes and a team of < 50 FTE's, the company wanted to scale efficiently while maintaining flexibility and traceability. Paper-based processes and manual weighing made that difficult. That’s why Clarys partnered with Brighteye to implement the Momentum platform, linking directly with Odoo ERP.
The Challenge
In an industry where every recipe is different, flexibility and control must coexist.
Clarys faced challenges typical for the food ingredients, spice and sauce manufacturers:
-
Precise weighing and sequencing of hundreds of ingredients per day
-
Managing allergen separation and cross-contamination
-
Maintaining full traceability for audits and certifications
-
Minimizing operator workload in a labor-scarce market
To stay competitive, Clarys decided to digitalize the production flow — from raw material intake to labeling and shipping.
Early Results – Efficiency that scales
Digitalization quickly proved its worth:
Operational gains
-
Warehouse staff reduced from 6 to 4 FTEs, thanks to precise digital picking.
-
Preparation & weighing reduced from 2–3 to 1–1.5 FTEs, through automated batching guidance.
-
Real-time booking by operators improved stock accuracy and traceability.
Business impact
-
5,586 tons produced
-
26 M euro in sales
-
>300 satisfied customers
Clarys can now handle more volume with the same team — proof that digital transformation pays off when it drives the business forward.
The Outcome
By implementing Momentum, Clarys has achieved:
-
A paperless production environment
-
Real-time control over recipes, materials and quality
-
Integrated traceability from raw material to finished product
-
A foundation for future scaling through APS and MES machine integration
Momentum has become the digital backbone of Clarys’ operations — the engine of operational excellence in a fast-evolving food market.
Why it matters for the food ingredients, spice and sauce sector:
Manufacturers in this cluster face high product variability, strict traceability and rising labor costs. Clarys proves that a modular MOM approach can scale complex, recipe-driven operations while keeping flexibility and compliance intact.
MOMENTUM turns operational data into a growth engine
— for Clarys, and for every food manufacturer aiming for data-driven excellence.
