Inventory Management Built for Contract Manufacturers
Manage multiple clients, track customer-owned inventory, create client-specific batch records, and deliver professional reporting—all from one platform designed for co-packers and contract manufacturers.
Challenges Contract Manufacturers Face Daily
Managing production for multiple clients with different requirements, inventory ownership, and documentation needs creates complexity that generic software cannot handle.
Multi-Client Complexity
Each client has different formulas, specifications, packaging requirements, and documentation needs. Managing this across spreadsheets is unsustainable as you grow.
Customer-Owned Inventory Chaos
Tracking which inventory belongs to which client, managing consignment materials, and reporting accurate balances to customers is error-prone without proper systems.
Client-Specific Documentation Requirements
Different clients require different batch record formats, quality documentation, and compliance frameworks. One-size-fits-all does not work.
Production Scheduling Across Clients
Balancing production runs across multiple clients while managing shared equipment, allergen changeovers, and material availability is complex.
Client Reporting Takes Too Long
Generating inventory reports, production summaries, and cost analyses for each client manually consumes hours every week.
Traceability Across Client Boundaries
When a shared ingredient lot has an issue, determining which client products are affected—and proving it—is critical and time-consuming.
