SIMBA, a traceability and inventory system for food processors, can now be hosted in the cloud using Microsoft Azure. This provides lower costs and flexibility compared to traditional on-premise hosting. Customers own the SIMBA software and database but now have a choice of hosting locations. Hosting in the cloud allows for accessing reports from anywhere via the internet, sharing data across multiple locations, and managing multiple plants from one software installation. SIMBA remains a complete wireless solution for labeling, inventory tracking, tracing, and ERP integration whether on-premise or in the cloud.
