Batch Traceability
Full chain from supplier to customer
Track every batch of materials and products: lot numbers, expiration dates, FIFO. If a quality issue arises — instantly identify all affected batches and customers.
Features
Material Batch Tracking
Each material batch gets a lot number, receipt date, and expiration date. Know which supplier and delivery each material on your shelf came from.
Product Batch Tracking
Record which material batches were used in each product batch. Full link: material → semi-finished → finished product.
FIFO Management
The system automatically suggests using materials in order of receipt (First In, First Out). Minimize expiration and waste.
Expiration Date Control
Track expiration dates for materials and products. Get warnings about approaching expiration dates.
Recall-Ready Reports
If a quality issue arises, instantly identify: which material batches are affected, which semi-finished batches used them, and which customers received the products.
Key Benefits
- Instant Recalls: Trace any batch back to its source in seconds — critical for food, cosmetics, and pharma compliance.
- Automatic FIFO: First-in-first-out consumption ensures oldest materials are used first, reducing waste from expiration.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meet EU and FDA traceability requirements with full batch history and quality status tracking.
Batch Traceability FAQ
Is batch tracking mandatory?
No, batch tracking is an optional feature that can be enabled in company settings. Without it, the system works with aggregate stock without batch separation.
Which industries need traceability?
Traceability is critical for food production, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals — anywhere quality control and product recall capability is required.
How does FIFO work?
When creating a semi-finished batch, the system automatically suggests using materials with the earliest receipt date. This helps minimize expiration.
Is batch traceability suitable for small food producers?
Absolutely. Many small food, cosmetics, and supplement producers use Krafte for lot tracking and compliance. It's affordable and easy to set up.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, batch traceability features are included in the 90-day free trial. No credit card required.
Can I track quality status per batch?
Yes. Each batch has a quality status (Released, Pending Check, Quarantine, Rejected) that can be updated at any time. Only Released batches are available for production.
