In their own words
TraceSense
TraceSense provides recipe weighing and electronic batch records for manufacturers that need ingredient lot traceability. Its records connect ingredient lots, weigh-ups, and sign-offs, with forward and backward tracing to follow lots through production. Users can set weighing tolerances, and the batch control module stops operators from proceeding when a weight falls outside them. Process checks can verify barcodes or QR codes, capture photos and documents, and require pass/fail results and actions. The modular system also covers production, quality, maintenance, stock, training, compliance, and dispatch. Listed ERP integrations include Sage, Microsoft Navision, and SAP; supported data flows include orders, stock, work orders, and process confirmations. TraceSense describes timestamped records, audit trails, and recall tools for businesses working toward BRC, SALSA, ISO, and customer audits. The cloud-based software can run alongside an existing ERP rather than replacing a full finance ERP. Its Terminal app runs on iPhones and iPads, and process checks can also use Android devices. Pricing is on request.
