The Tray ERP operations dashboard. A "needs attention today" panel lists 2 purchase orders overdue, 2 POs awaiting supplier confirmation, 2 POs to receive, 6 lots on hold and 1 lot expiring soon. Below it, tiles show 20 total SKUs, 1 item expiring within 90 days, 15 low stock items, 7 warehouse locations and 6 active orders.

The operations dashboard on a Wednesday morning: two purchase orders overdue, six lots on hold and one item expiring inside 90 days, surfaced before anyone thinks to ask.

Implementing Tray now

Aristo Cuisine

Quebec foodservice manufacturer

Our first customer. Receiving, lot tracking and customer orders are being brought onto Tray now, alongside the Sage 50 they already run for billing. We will publish what the implementation actually took, and what the trace actually does, once it is finished and Aristo has checked the numbers.

The problem

Spreadsheets weren’t built to survive a recall.

When a CFIA inspector or a major retailer asks “where did this lot go?”, you have minutes, not days, to answer. Most food operations are still patching that answer together from receiving binders, recipe Word docs, and three different spreadsheets.

Lot history scattered across paper logs and shared drives
Allergen risk lives in someone’s head, not in the system
Recipes scale by hand, so production errors compound
Audits become 3-week fire drills, every time

The platform

One system. Every batch. Every audit.

Twelve modules that assume lots, expiry and allergens are non-negotiable, not bolted on after the fact.

Lot-level traceability

Every lot linked to the batch it became and the customer it reached.

Allergen control

Declarations roll up through sub-recipes, automatically.

Recipe-driven BOMs

Costed recipes that drive production, not just documentation.

Receiving & QC

Inspect, hold or reject at the dock before it reaches your floor.

Audit-ready reports

CFIA, FDA, GFSI and HACCP evidence without the scramble.

Barcode-native

Scan lots on the floor; no keyboard, no transcription errors.

Supplier scorecards

On-time rate, fill rate and lead time, tracked per supplier.

Document automation

POs and documents emailed via Microsoft 365 or SMTP.

Order-to-production

Orders become production runs without a re-keying step.

Product costing

Recipe cost line by line from today’s supplier prices, then each customer’s price.

Packs, boxes and pieces

Buy a case, cook in pieces. A recipe needing 2 pitas draws 0.333 of a pack.

How it works

Three steps. One unbroken chain of custody.

A recall trace that used to take half a day takes seconds, because the links were never broken in the first place.

1

Receive

Log every incoming lot with supplier, expiry and QC status at the dock.

2

Produce

Recipes consume lots by FEFO, and the batch inherits their full genealogy.

3

Deliver

Ship against the lot, so every customer is one query from any ingredient.
