The history is spread across files
Supplier LOTs, production notes and shipment records can require a manual reconstruction. TraceCore connects the records around the batch.
Product and LOT traceability software
Follow the batch. Find the records behind it.
Connect incoming material LOTs, recipes, production and customer orders. TraceCore, built on Open Mercato, brings the manufacturing history into one operational system for food and supplement producers.

The recipe and actual consumption drift apart
The intended recipe is only part of the story. Tie production work to the materials and LOTs actually used.
The commercial record ends at the factory door
A traceability investigation also needs customer and order context. Connect sales, production and warehouse information in the same system.
Keep the manufacturing chain connected.
Incoming material history
Work with supplier records and LOT relationships across the operational chain.
Recipes and production
Connect recipes, production tasks and recorded material consumption.
Warehouse context

Questions before you take the next step.
Is TraceCore part of the basic CRM?
TraceCore is a specialist manufacturing implementation built on Open Mercato. Its production, warehouse and LOT capabilities belong to that domain product and implementation scope.
Does the software guarantee regulatory compliance?
Your quality and compliance requirements need their own assessment and validation. Scope audit evidence, electronic records, signatures, retention and operational procedures with the responsible specialists.
Can we deploy it on premises?
TraceCore's published deployment options include on-premise and dedicated VPS. Discuss infrastructure, backup, recovery and support requirements with the implementation team.
Can historical spreadsheet data be imported?
Historical data needs mapping and quality checks. A sample helps establish whether LOT, material, production and shipment relationships can be reconstructed and what gaps remain.
Bring one batch and the questions it needs to answer.
Use its supplier LOTs, production records and customer orders to scope a traceability workflow with the right domain team.
