Introduction

The cloud-based nutritional management system, Flemeal, developed by Total Software Inc. (CEO: Masatoshi Setoguchi, Based in Kagoshima), recently announced an innovative feature aimed at simplifying the management of food and recipe databases across multiple sites. With over 8,000 successful implementations, Flemeal seeks to streamline operations for contracted meal service companies and organizations running multiple facilities under the same corporate umbrella. This new functionality eliminates the problem of duplicate master registrations and supports digital transformation (DX) across the organization, as well as quick adaptation during staff transitions.

Background

The rise in operational complexities, characterized by the use of separate master databases in meal services across various locations, led to numerous challenges including data duplication, erroneous registrations, and confusion during staff movements. Such issues resulted in frequent revisions and corrections that contributed to operational burdens. The newly introduced feature focuses on preventing these unnecessary tasks, ensuring a smoother operation at the corporate level.

Overview of the New Feature

1. Centralized Management of Food and Recipe Databases:
Users can now centralize food and recipe databases for multiple locations. By setting permissions, specific members can be authorized to input data ensuring accuracy.

2. Unified Database for Corporations:
With a unified master database, the transition of registered dietitians between locations becomes seamless, facilitating business continuity. Furthermore, new dietitian training is made efficient with the uniform master, leading to a reduction in training costs while enhancing service quality.

3. Inter-Site Menu Data Exchange:
By consolidating the responsibilities of menu creation, the workload across various locations is significantly reduced. This assists not only in addressing staffing shortages but also boosts overall operational efficiency, presenting a stable management framework organization-wide.

Benefits of Implementation

1. Prevention of Erroneous Registrations:
By eliminating the risks associated with multiple individuals entering data independently, accurate data management is achieved.
2. Smooth Staff Transitions:
With unified masters, operations can continue in the same environment, even during staff relocations.
3. Efficient Budget Management:
By standardizing food and recipe costs across the organization, budgeting and cost analysis become much more efficient.
4. Streamlined Menu Data Exchange:
Unified food databases promote easier menu sharing and collaboration across locations.

Future Prospects

Total Software remains committed to continuous enhancements of Flemeal, aiming to further streamline food service operations and improve quality by incorporating feedback from the field.
