Food and supplements, in order per lot.

Lot numbers, shelf life and customer-specific labels, for every order. Frontlink follows each lot from receipt to delivery, picks by shelf life and records checks without paper.

The passport of one lot.

From the truck to the certificate at the customer: everything a lot goes through is recorded. Drag through the life of one lot of wheat flour.

  1. 1 / 6Received, first into quarantine

    The lot arrives with lot number and expiry date. Materials that need checking go into quarantine first. Nobody can use them yet.

  2. 2 / 6Documents attached

    Frontlink reads the supplier's PDFs and recognises what they are: certificate of analysis, allergen statement, specification. They go with the item and the lot.

  3. 3 / 6Released

    Quality reviews and releases the lot. From now on it is available for production.

  4. 4 / 6First to expire, first

    When picking, Frontlink steers to the lot that expires first and skips lots with too little shelf life.

  5. 5 / 6Allergens in planning

    An allergen-free product only goes on a line certified for it. After a product with allergens, planning adds cleaning time.

  6. 6 / 6On the certificate

    The lot is on the batch's release certificate, with the allergen statement. The customer finds it in the portal.

Received, first into quarantine. The lot arrives with lot number and expiry date. Materials that need checking go into quarantine first. Nobody can use them yet.

Example with fictional data.

Allergens in planning.

Frontlink knows which products contain allergens and which lines are certified allergen-free. Planning takes it into account.

Dough line 1Certified allergen-free
Sesame rolls · contains sesameCleaningWhite rolls · no sesame
Dough line 2Not certified
Sesame rolls · contains sesameWhite rolls · not here
  • Not on the wrong line

    An allergen-free product can't go on a line that isn't certified for it.

  • Cleaning counts

    From a product with allergens to an allergen-free one? Planning adds the cleaning time.

Shelf life that counts.

Per item it is set how long it keeps and how much shelf life must remain at issue. Frontlink tracks it, so nobody has to calculate.

Expired lots get the expired status by themselves and are no longer issued.

Lot numbers at every step.

Per item you decide whether a lot number is required. If it is, Frontlink asks for it at every step. So there's no gap in the trail.

Capsules and softgels.

Supplements are food too. Frontlink was built with a supplement manufacturer, so encapsulation lines, fill weights and certificates per form are already in it.

Solutions that deliver the most here.

  1. Warehouse and stockFrontlink knows per lot what is there, where it is and how long it is good for. The warehouse picks by shelf life, stock matches what was really used, and a lot can be traced in one click.
  2. Quality and batch recordQuality checks appear as a checklist on the tablet, with the norm next to each one. The batch record builds itself from what was actually made, and release and certificate follow without searching.
  3. Production and operatorsAt the line, operators see the order, the steps and the instruction for each step. Materials are scanned, checks recorded and the shift hands over digitally. No paper, no retyping.

Frequently asked questions.

Does this help with audits?

Frontlink records who did what and when, with signatures and a history that cannot be changed. So at an audit you have the record per batch straight away.

Can we enforce FEFO?

Yes. Pick lists follow shelf life and an expired lot is stopped when scanned.

Does it work with customer-specific labels?

Yes. Per customer and product you record the label version, and the operator scans at the start whether the right label is ready.
