Traceability for Auditor Handover — Freshness Protected by the System

High volumes, short shelf lives, strict audits, and seasonal demand — food factories run on precision, not memory. We build systems that keep the story of every batch complete, from raw material intake to the cartons loaded onto the truck.

01
Where this industry loses margin

Food & Beverage — four profit leaks

A recall-related question that takes all day to answer

Lot history is scattered across paper, spreadsheets and people's memories. When a customer or regulator asks which finished batches used a specific raw-material lot, every hour of searching costs trust.

FEFO relies on memory, not the system.

"First Expired, First Out" holds true only until a surge in volume occurs. Every time expired stock is discarded, it represents profit that had already been accounted for—and subsequently lost.

Paper-based sanitation records slow down the production line.

Paper sanitation checklists, temperature logs, and batch records—slow to record, slow to retrieve, and even slower to audit.

Peak seasons derail plans.

Whether it’s Tet, a harvest season, or a campaign to drive up sales volumes, the warehouse and production lines are pushed simultaneously—yet the plan sits in an Excel file that no one trusts when the pressure is on.

02
Standards we build for

We develop production records robust enough to pass these audits—going far beyond mere window dressing:

HACCP

Hazard analysis and critical control points

Automated CCP monitoring via sensors—covering temperature, metal detectors, and scales.

ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000

Food Safety Management

Fully documented process records, ready for certification and routine assessments.

GMP

Good Manufacturing Practice

Hygiene and production protocols embedded directly into digital checklists and SOPs.

1-step back / 1-step forward

Customer Traceability Expectations

Retailer and partner audits demand complete lot traceability; we turn the required data into a one-click report.

03
Typical stack

How the six systems manifest in this industry:

MES

Electronic batch records, batch reports, CCP logging, and productivity tracking by line and shift.

WMS

FEFO execution, expiration control, and raw material batch tracking down to specific locations.

IIoT

Cold chain and process temperature monitoring, energy consumption tracking by line, and predictive alerts for potential failures.

DATA

Audit-ready traceability reports consolidated from MES, WMS, and laboratory results.

Quick wins, 30–60 days
1

Electronic batch records for a production line

Paper batch records transform into guided digital forms—complete, searchable, and audit-ready from day one.

2

FEFO enforcement in the raw material warehouse

Barcode-based picking instantly rejects incorrect batches—reducing inventory write-offs from the very first month.

3

Cold storage temperature alerts

Sensors and alert thresholds on existing cold rooms, so temperature excursions are caught before stock spoils.

05
A typical engagement

Four seamless steps

  1. 1

    Free on-site assessment, targeting specific HACCP/audit pain points

  2. 2

    Pilot: electronic batch records + FEFO implementation on one production line and in one warehouse zone

  3. 3

    Integration with ERP, lab systems, and customer traceability formats

  4. 4

    Plant-wide rollout based on SLAs — team trained for handover

Industry FAQs

Our industry isn't on the list — can you still help?

Very likely, yes. Machines, materials, people and run-time behave the same way whether you make ceramics or coffee. Book a free diagnostic; if we're not the right fit, we'll tell you straight and point you to someone who is.

Can you work to our certification body's requirements?

Yes — HACCP, ISO 22000, IATF 16949, sustainability programmes and customer audits all come down to documented, traceable records. We configure the system to produce exactly those records, then invite your auditor to take a look.

Do you work with factories outside Vietnam?

Yes — Vietnam and Japan are our main bases, and we deliver in Thailand through a regional partner. The diagnostic can be run remotely; the pilot needs us on site at your factory.

We have several factories in different countries — can this be rolled out across them?

That's one of our strengths: we pilot at one site, then roll the shared architecture out site by site — with reporting your head office can trust, in English, Japanese or Vietnamese.
