In milling, the profit is not hidden in the flour's selling price but inside the blend. A mill that cannot see in writing which silo was drawn from and in what ratio, what the extraction yield came out at that day, and whether the bran and middlings were tied back into the blend is, in reality, managing its costs by guesswork. We build a system that joins the laboratory slip, the silo ledger, the blend calculation and dispatch into a single chain of records. Your accounting software stays where it is; we write the part it cannot see. If you are in Şehitkamil or Başpınar, we will come out for a discovery visit.
Prepared by Pan Innovation House, a software company based in Gaziantep, Türkiye · Last reviewed:
We are based in Gaziantep, Türkiye, with a London office at Unit 6 Cranford Way, Hornsey, London N8 9DG. On-site discovery covers plants in and around Gaziantep; elsewhere in Türkiye and abroad it starts by video call and a visit is planned if needed. The first 30-minute call is free; the scope of an on-site discovery, and its fee if any, is agreed in writing during that call.
We do not bring a second accounting package into the mill. Your accounting and receivables side stays exactly as it is. The layer we build joins the chain that runs from the weighbridge through the laboratory, the silo ledger, the blend and the extraction yield to dispatch in one place — and writes the results you need back into your existing system. Modules can go live one at a time.
A single record is opened from the moment the truck enters: the weighbridge ticket, the sample, the analysis results and the supplier details are all tied to the same lot. Test weight, moisture, protein, gluten, sedimentation and sunn pest values are listed historically by supplier. At the next purchase you decide who to work with based on records, not memory.
Each silo keeps its own quality identity: which lots it holds, what its average values are and how full it is. Transfers between silos, water added during tempering and cleaning losses are recorded. The gap between paper stock and the physical count becomes visible inside the record before it quietly disappears.
A screen that puts your target protein, gluten and ash values side by side with the quality and cost of the silos on hand. It calculates different blend scenarios and shows them comparatively together with their costs. We do not set the formula; we write your head miller's rules into the system and leave the decision to him. Every decision he makes is stored with its date and user.
Incoming wheat and outgoing flour, bran, middlings, low-grade flour and losses are brought together in a single mass balance. Extraction yield is calculated by shift, by day and by blend. Because by-products are tied back to the blend, it becomes visible which grist and which shift a yield deviation came from.
Blend cost, energy, packaging, labour and by-product income are allocated to each flour type. Bread, baklava and pastry flour each stand as a separate cost line. You make pricing decisions from your own records, not from market hearsay.
Bagged, big-bag and bulk shipments all leave through the same system; the dispatch note, the weighbridge ticket and the stock deduction are generated from a single record. Which customer received flour from which blend, with which analysis values, is on record. When a complaint arrives, tracing back is done through the records, not by digging through an archive.
We talk through how many silos you run, your daily milling capacity, which flour types you produce and which software you currently use. The purpose of this meeting is not to quote; it is to work out whether your business will be put right by software or by process. The call carries no obligation. The first 30-minute call is free; the scope of an on-site discovery, and its fee if any, is agreed in writing during that call.
We come to your plant in Şehitkamil or Başpınar and follow the whole flow from truck entry to bagged output. We see the weighbridge, the laboratory, the silo yard and the roller floor; we open the head miller's blend file and the warehouse ledger together. We record the terminology exactly as you use it — we do not impose our own vocabulary.
We turn the findings into a phased plan. In most mills the first phase is intake and laboratory records plus the silo ledger; blending and costing only make sense once solid data has accumulated on top. The duration, scope and price of each phase are written up separately.
We build the module and trial it on a real shift. We watch the weighbridge operator, the laboratory supervisor and the miller use the screens; wherever an objection comes up, we change the design. We keep the screens simple, allowing for the fact that they will be used in a dusty, hurried environment.
We take the system live and give short, hands-on training for each role. After that we continue under a maintenance and support agreement. The source code we write and your data are handed over to you as defined in the contract; if you ever want to hand the system over to someone else, we deliver the handover file as well.
No. If you run a backbone such as Logo, Mikro or Netsis, it stays where it is; we do not disturb your receivables, invoicing or e-document set-up. The layer we build passes intake and dispatch records into it and reads cost and stock data out of it. The custom layer connects to your ERP through the routes its vendor supports (API, service layer or an approved import); it does not write directly into the ERP's database tables. The route depends on the version and licence and is agreed in writing during discovery.
On the weighbridge side, in most cases yes; we can show a set-up that brings a weighbridge and a label printer together on the same screen on a working example during discovery. Most electronic weighbridges output weight data over a serial port or the network, and we read it from there. With laboratory instruments it varies by brand; some provide file or database output, some do not. During discovery we list your instruments and tell you in advance which ones we can pull data from.
No, and that is deliberate. The blend decision is made with your miller's knowledge earned over years and the state of that day's silos; it would not be right for an outside software developer to set it. What we do is bring that decision onto a calculation screen: putting target values, silo qualities and costs side by side and showing the scenarios comparatively. The decision stays with the miller — the only difference is that the decision is now on record.
According to our own OSB research, the great majority of companies here are micro, small or medium-sized, and we shape the work accordingly. You can start with a single module. Starting with intake and laboratory records only, then moving on to blending and costing once data has accumulated, is the route we recommend most often. We do not think it is right to sell a large installation from day one.
We design the screens knowing that reality. The weighbridge operator's screen has three to five fields and the rest fills in automatically; the laboratory screen is the digital counterpart of the analysis slip, so there is no new layout to learn. During go-live we stand beside your team on site and resolve the early snags in place. Writing software that nobody uses does nobody any good.
Silo count, instrument integration and how many flour types you run directly change both the duration and the price. We do not quote a figure before discovery is complete; after discovery, each phase is written up with its own scope, duration and price. When the first phase ends, the decision to continue is yours — we do not ask for a long commitment up front. We also have a guide page explaining how you should choose between an off-the-shelf package and custom software.
Depending on your preference, it lives on your own server or in a cloud account opened in your name. The source code we write and your data are handed over to you as defined in the contract; third-party and open-source components remain subject to their own licences. We hand over the handover file together with delivery.
In milling, the blend (paçal in Turkish) is the mix created by combining wheat of different characteristics, held in different silos, in set ratios to hit the flour quality and cost you want. The blend decision is made according to the target protein, gluten and ash values and the state of the silos. Our blend calculation screen puts these targets side by side with the quality and cost data of the silos available and compares scenarios; your miller sets the formula, and the decision is recorded with the date and the user.
A mill's system cannot be written from a distance; a program set up without seeing what each silo is for uses up its shelf life within the first week. Name a convenient day and we will come to your plant in Gaziantep. Let's follow the flow together from the weighbridge to the roller floor, and talk openly about where software is needed and where it is not. In this first meeting we do discovery, not a proposal.
