A retailer calls about a batch. Can you trace it in 60 seconds?
Start from a finished product lot and trace backward to every raw material lot, supplier, and receipt date. Complete reverse traceability.
Reverse traceability on paper is hours of panic
A retailer calls about product lot #7892. You need to know which raw materials went into that batch — and whether other products used the same lots. With paper, that's hours.
- No quick way to trace a product back to its ingredients
- Can't identify which other products share the same lots
- Reverse traceability is manual and error-prone
Reverse traceability in seconds. Every finished product traces back to its source.
When you produce finished goods through production plans, Recipe Cost Calculator assigns lot numbers and tracks which raw material lots were used. This gives you reverse traceability — start from a finished product and trace back to every ingredient lot and supplier.
This is the other half of traceability. If a customer reports an issue with a specific batch, you can identify exactly which raw materials went into it and whether other batches are affected.
