BESTMIX offers features such as automated nutritional calculations, cost analysis, and reporting capabilities. Key capabilities: ingredient cost tracking nutritional analysis regulatory compliance recipe visualization formula library Best for: food and beverage manufacturers that need effective recipe management solutions.

BESTMIX, developed by BESTMIX Software (formerly Adifo), is a highly advanced and specialized farm management software tailored for the feed, food, and pet food production industries. It stands out as a comprehensive system that combines least-cost formulation, ERP, and quality management tools to optimize production processes from raw material sourcing to labeling and distribution. The software’s core strength lies in its ability to perform rapid, accurate, and cost-effective formulation, allowing nutritionists and producers to re-optimize recipes instantly in response to fluctuating ingredient prices or nutrient variations. Its design emphasizes simplicity and functionality, offering a Windows Explorer-like interface and built-in wizards that make even complex operations intuitive. A signature feature is its “single screen handling,” which ensures users can manage all relevant data for a given element without navigating multiple menus. BESTMIX also integrates seamlessly with ERP and MES systems—particularly Microsoft Dynamics 365—creating a unified data environment where procurement, logistics, production, and compliance processes are interconnected. The real-time link to laboratory instruments, such as NIR analyzers, further enhances accuracy by automatically updating ingredient profiles within the formulation engine.
