About Aritmos in the dairy industry

Aritmos is a Sage Platinum Partner based in Lleida that has developed a specific vertical on Sage X3 for the dairy industry: cooperatives with a milk section, dairy plants, cheesemakers and dairy processors. The vertical manages the full cycle, from milk intake with automatic import of laboratory data (fat, protein, somatic cells, bacteriology, inhibitors, freezing point) and splitting of deliveries between farmers, to settlement using quality tables with bonuses and deductions. Certified by Sage as an ISV Champion / Tech Partner.

From tanker to settlement, step by step

Milk intake

Automated intake delivery notes with direct import of tanker data. Recording of volume, temperature and transport data. The system generates the intake delivery note and links it to the supplying farmer. Management of multiple collection routes and delivery points. Automatic splitting of the delivery when a tanker carries milk from several farmers.

Laboratory analysis

Automatic import of laboratory results. Parameters managed: fat percentage, protein, somatic cell count (SCC), dry matter, bacteriology (CFU), inhibitors (antibiotics) and freezing point. Each parameter is linked to the intake delivery note and the farmer. The system automatically detects when milk falls outside the established quality limits.

Value tables and grading

Configuration of value tables by season: gross quantity, compensation per kilogram, mandatory withholding. The tables determine the price the farmer receives based on the analytical quality of their milk. The system supports multiple simultaneous tables (by milk type, collection area or contractual agreement).

Farmer settlements

Pre-settlement process: distribution in litres, withholding calculation, generation of the supplier file. Settlement process: entry of settlement prices, calculation by tables, printing of the settlement with details of quota and fat reference, litres per day, quality values, bonuses and deductions. Automatic generation of accounting, tax and forecasting documents.

Production and processing (cheesemakers)

For processing plants (cheese, yoghurt and butter makers): production management with recipes and formulas, batch control with traceability, ripening management (for aged cheeses), use-by and best-before dates, packaging and labelling with GS1. Standard Sage X3 manufacturing modules complement Aritmos' dairy vertical.

Dispatch and sales

Order management, dispatch preparation, sales delivery notes. EDI integration with retail chains. Temperature control in logistics (cold chain). Direct invoicing or invoicing from confirmed delivery notes. Sales reports by product, customer, zone and period.

What dairy companies and milk cooperatives ask us

Yes. Aritmos’ dairy vertical on Sage X3 directly imports laboratory results: fat percentage, protein, somatic cell count (SCC), dry matter, bacteriology, inhibitors (antibiotics) and freezing point. The data is automatically linked to the intake delivery note and the supplying farmer, eliminating manual entry.

The system works in two phases: pre-settlement (distribution in litres, withholding calculation, generation of the supplier file) and settlement (calculation using price tables configured by season, quality and milk type). The printed settlement details quota, fat reference, litres per day, quality values, bonuses and deductions. Accounting and tax documents are generated automatically.

Yes. When a collection tanker carries milk from multiple farmers, the system automatically splits the delivery, allocating volumes and analytical results to each supplier according to the quotas or declarations for each collection route.

Yes. Aritmos’ dairy vertical covers milk intake and settlements. For cheesemakers and processors, it is complemented by Sage X3 production modules: recipe management, batch control, traceability, cheese ripening, packaging and dispatch. All integrated in the same platform.

The system can manage the documentation requirements of ISO 22000, IFS Food, BRC, HACCP, Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 (hygiene of food of animal origin) and the EU Hygiene Package. For differentiated-quality milk, it supports the parameters required for the Letra Q certification.

Aritmos has its own Sage-certified vertical that integrates specific management of milk intake, laboratory analysis with 6 parameters, delivery splitting and farmer settlements with quality tables. Other partners implement standard Sage X3 and need custom development to handle these features, which increases cost and complexity.

It depends on the type of company (dairy plant, cooperative with a milk section, industrial cheesemaker), the number of supplying farmers, the modules required and the complexity of processing. Aritmos offers a free preliminary assessment. Get in touch for a demo.
