About At eSoftware Professionals we created Ceres, a food bank software system designed specifically for the unique ERP needs and requirements that Food Banks must achieve. Your food bank is a unique entity: an organization that receives and distributes millions of pounds of food per year. You need a solid food bank-specific software ERP system to track product donations, grants, food drives, and much more. You try to work with smaller accounting systems or Excel, but these generic products don’t meet the needs of the food bank. Since the year 2000, we’ve been making and implementing Ceres, a product designed for the unique needs of Food Banks, powered by Microsoft Dynamics NAV – a best-of-breed Supply Chain Management Solution created by Microsoft. It is our Goal to release a new major version of Ceres such that the product is not more than one major version behind the current Microsoft Dynamics NAV product. Currently, Ceres 6.0, based upon Dynamics NAV 365, is in the planning stages.

It offers a core set of fully integrated modules that include order processing, pricing control, inventory control and purchasing, sales analysis, accounts payable and receivable, lot tracking and security.
