Who it is for

Produces complete forward and backward recall reports, including blends, in seconds according to the vendor.

What it does

One-button recalls
Prints a forward and backward recall with receiving company contact information, including all generations of a lot and blends.
Inspections
In-house inspection templates with photos and documents attached, and costs recorded so problems can be passed back to the vendor.
Real-time inventory control
Tracks inventory lots linked to each sale, with reports of what was received, shipped, repacked, processed or lost.
Profit and loss by lot
Allocates all costs to lots, orders and line items, with profitability reports by commodity, supplier, customer, buyer, date range and salesperson.
