Trace any input forward to finished products or any batch backward to its source inputs. Instant visibility for recalls, audits, and customer enquiries. When auditors ask you to trace a batch, you'll have the answer before they finish the question.
Backward Traceability
Start with any production batch and see every input that went into it. Internal lot numbers, supplier batch codes, quantities consumed, supplier details, received dates, and expiry dates. Expandable source details show complete genealogy at a glance.
Forward Traceability
Start with any input lot and see every production batch where it was used. Quantity consumed per batch, batch status, production dates. Essential for targeted recalls — know exactly which finished products contain a specific input lot.
Universal Batch Search
Search any batch code — purchased input, internal batch, or finished product — and see its complete journey. Upstream (purchase history) and downstream (production usage) in one view. Cross-reference supplier codes and internal lot numbers instantly.
Dual Code System
Track both supplier batch codes and your own internal lot numbers. Never lose the link between what suppliers send and what you use. Both codes visible throughout the traceability chain, searchable by either identifier.
Source Verification
See exactly which inventory lots were consumed in each production batch. Quantity tracking per source, verified status indicators, and notes. Supports multiple sources per input for batches that span multiple lots.
Audit-Ready Records
Sortable views, expandable details, and visual status indicators make audit preparation straightforward. Sort by input name or number of sources. Digital records organised for quick access during audits.
