What makes Cybake different is its specialist industry knowledge. The company has worked closely with commercial bakeries for over 28 years and develops all its software in-house rather than outsourcing to external programmers. Many Cybake colleagues have backgrounds in commercial baking or related food sectors, with some having used Cybake themselves in previous roles.

Its specialist Cybake ISB solution also helps supermarkets, convenience stores and retail bakery chains improve product availability, increase sales and reduce food waste through automated production planning and forecasting.

Cybake's answer:

Cybake was founded in York, United Kingdom, in 1998 by software entrepreneur Jane Tyler, originally under the company name RedBlack Software.

The company began developing ERP-class software solutions specifically for the baking industry, helping commercial bakeries manage their businesses more efficiently. Its first Cybake software was released in June 1998, and the system became increasingly popular among bakeries in the UK and Ireland.

As technology evolved, Cybake invested in developing cloud-based applications, beginning in 2014. In 2018, the company launched a completely new cloud-based version of Cybake and stopped selling its previous on-premises system. This move paved the way for international expansion.

Today, Cybake is used by hundreds of baking businesses and thousands of retail stores. The company operates internationally, with teams based in York, UK; Arvada, USA; and Melbourne, Australia.

With over 28 years of experience serving the baking industry, Cybake continues to develop all its software in-house, combining specialist bakery knowledge with modern technology to help businesses cut admin, improve efficiency and increase sales.
