- Traceability links every raw-material lot to the finished batches and customers it reached.
- It's the difference between a targeted recall and a total-brand crisis.
- Expiry/FEFO plus traceability also cuts waste and keeps you FSSAI-audit ready.
In food, one question can define your business: if a raw-material lot is bad, exactly which products and customers are affected? Without traceability, the safe answer is 'recall everything' — ruinous and reputation-destroying. Batch and traceability software lets you answer precisely, in minutes.
How traceability works
- 1Every raw-material receipt gets a lot number and supplier record
- 2Production consumes specific lots into a specific finished batch
- 3Each finished batch carries its own batch/expiry code
- 4Dispatch links batches to specific customers and depots
- 5A recall query walks the chain both ways — lot to customer, or customer to lot
Without lot links, a single contamination scare forces you to recall entire product lines and lose customer trust. With them, you recall exactly the affected batches — protecting both safety and your brand.
More than recalls
The same batch data that powers recalls also drives FEFO dispatch (sell oldest first), waste reduction, and FSSAI-audit-ready records. Traceability isn't just insurance — it makes the whole operation tighter.
Built around your process
Wizix builds batch and traceability into your food ERP, matched to your lot coding, quality checks and distribution — so it fits how your plant actually records and moves product.
Can it trace both directions — lot to customer and customer to lot?
Yes — you can start from a suspect raw-material lot and find all affected customers, or start from a customer complaint and trace back to the exact lots.
Does it support FEFO dispatch?
Yes, first-expiry-first-out picking is built in to cut expiry losses.
