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 — production errors compound
  • Audits become 3-week fire drills, every time

The platform

One system. Every batch. Every audit.

Nine 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.

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.
