Lot Tracking Software for the Food and Beverage Industry

Lot Traceability and Compliance

While there are many industries that require lot traceability and lot control functionality for inventory management, few have been mandated to comply by law – the Food and Beverage Industry is one of these lucky few - and this has been amplified even further with the recent passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act.  No other industry has at much at stake when it comes to lot traceability and regulatory compliance than food and beverage distributors and manufacturers – complete supply chain control is the mantra, which means that foodservice distributors and manufacturers must not only ensure the merchandise within their custody is under control, but also that which extends to their supply chain partners as well. 

Microsoft and MIBAR.net have been leading the way in this area, by sponsoring seminars and providing food industry software solutions as part of an integrated suite of business management applications to help food and beverage distributors and manufacturers cost efficiently comply with these initiatives.

More Than Just Lot Tracking Software

Tackling these requirements necessitates a team approach.  An effective solution transcends merely having lot tracking software functionality alone – it requires the blending of people, process and technology, all working together towards achieving this result.

Lot Traceability not only requires stringent controls within your business application (to store lot based costs, documents and trace tools), it also requires the use of automated warehouse solutions to effectively receive, more and ship product – all while efficiently recording lot codes at the box or pallet level.  Without the integration of a Warehouse Management System, with a wireless barcode scanning solution, the time it would take to accurately capture lot level data would increase labor costs and slow down the timely delivery of merchandise.
