Module 06 / Traceability & Inventory

One scan, the whole story

When a customer or auditor calls, tracing a batch through paper and spreadsheets takes days of detective work. Frontlink records the genealogy as production happens, so the answer takes minutes.

Warehouse

Inventory that matches the rack

The system says 40 boxes, the rack says 32, and every planner adds a safety margin because nobody trusts the number.

Scanning at receipt, put-away, picking, and shipping keeps stock true as a side effect of normal work. Counting stops being an event and becomes a state.

  • Scan-driven receive, put-away, pick, and ship
  • Lot and expiry captured at every movement
  • Works offline and syncs when back in range
Recall readiness

Answer the recall question in minutes

A supplier flags one raw material lot, and suddenly you need to know exactly which batches, pallets, and customers touched it.

The genealogy is recorded as consumption happens, forward and backward. Scan any lot and the affected set lights up: which batches used it, which pallets carry it, which customers received it. And FEFO guidance sends the oldest stock out first, so expiry write-offs stop being routine.

Use cases

Problems this solves

Traceability turns data into trust

Quality results ride along with every lot, and consumption accuracy feeds honest batch costs.

Questions

Common questions

How fast can we answer a recall request?

Minutes. Scan or select the lot and Frontlink shows every batch that consumed it and every shipment that carries it, upstream and downstream.

Does Frontlink enforce FEFO?

Yes. Picking guidance always proposes the earliest expiry first, and deviating from it is a deliberate, visible choice instead of an accident.

Do operators have to book every consumption?

No. Consumption is captured by scanning during normal work, and backflush fills the gaps by recipe, so accuracy comes without extra clicks.
