Core operating system

One source of truth for the work spreadsheets split apart.

Batchlane is built around the records food teams already need: supplier lots, recipes, production runs, finished lots, customer allocations, documents, and accounting summaries.

Inventory ledger

Every ingredient, packaging lot, and finished good keeps location, quantity, cost, expiry, and document state together.

Batch runs

Recipes, planned inputs, actual usage, output lots, waste, and signoff live in one production record.

FEFO and traceability

Operators see what must be used first, then trace any lot forward into batches and customer shipments.

Accounting handoff

QuickBooks stays the system of record for accounting while Batchlane keeps operational movement clean.

Workflow proof

The batch record is created while the work happens.

Receiving feeds available lots. Production consumes FEFO inputs. Finished goods become allocatable stock. Accounting receives a clean handoff instead of a spreadsheet cleanup project.
