Bakery Traceability Solutions

Go digital to improve efficiency and food safety

Bakery traceability is key to businesses maximising production potential and improving food safety. We believe effective bakery traceability needs to be accessible across all scales of production, from start ups of up to 20 employees to nationwide operations employing over hundreds.

Traceability allows you to remain as competitive as possible within the market, providing top quality products as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. Our modular traceability system provides the hardware and bespoke software to support your entire production from goods-in right through to dispatch and waste.

Go paperless across your entire operations with digital data processing and instant reporting that will give your team the metrics to inform future ingredient spend and improvements to help maintain your BRC or SALSA certification.
