Process Manufacturing

Food and beverage plants: batch records and expiry tracking without the paperwork.

Batch expiry and food safety documentation, done manually.

The Leak Assessment: 30 minutes, and a written plan within 48 hours, whether or not you hire us.

Food & Beverage Processing production floor

Cluxn builds lot traceability, dispatch tracking and distributor ordering for food and beverage processors with 50–500 employees. Batch, expiry and dispatch records move from paper to one system. US FSMA 204 traceability enforcement begins 20 July 2028. Custom ERP typically takes about 6 months, at a fixed price in writing after a 30-minute Leak Assessment.

Food & Beverage Processing: common problems

What it's costing you.

01

Paper-Based Expiry Tracking

Batch expiry tracking on paper — compliance risk when near-expiry stock isn't surfaced before dispatch to retail

Paper-Based Expiry Tracking
02

Uncontrolled Recipe Versions

Recipe version control informal — formulation changes communicated verbally, batch inconsistencies discovered only at QC

Uncontrolled Recipe Versions
03

Manual Audit Prep

Food safety certification audit documentation collated manually before every inspection, typically requiring 2–3 days of preparation

04

Stale Inventory Data

Multi-warehouse inventory reconciled weekly — stock decisions made on data that is always behind actual reality

How Food & Beverage Processing plants run, step by step

How the work flows.

  1. 1

    Raw material receipt and lot assignment

    Each delivery gets a lot number and an expiry date.

  2. 2

    Batch production against a recipe version

    The batch is made from the current recipe, and the lots used are recorded.

  3. 3

    Quality checks recorded

    In-process and final checks are logged against the batch.

  4. 4

    Packing and expiry labelling

    Packed goods carry the batch and expiry that the record shows.

  5. 5

    Dispatch to distributors

    Each dispatch records which lots went to which distributor.

  6. 6

    Complaint or recall trace-back

    A suspect lot can be followed forward to distributors and back to raw materials.

  • Time to trace a lot
  • Near-expiry stock
