BatchTrace Production traceability
Local-first manufacturing software

Replace production paperwork with a connected workflow.

BatchTrace turns customer orders, production planning, material records, quality checks and dispatch information into one clear operational trail—without forcing a small factory into a full ERP.

Designed around practical factory roles, structured handoffs and customer-controlled operational data.

Focused modules

Each person sees the work they are responsible for.

The system follows the actual path of production information. Data is entered once, then carried forward to the next responsible role.

01

Customer orders

Record requested products, quantities, customers and due dates in one structured backlog.

02

Production planning

Convert open customer demand into daily or weekly production jobs for the factory floor.

03

BOM and master data

Maintain controlled product recipes, materials, machines and operating references without retyping them for every batch.

04

Inventory records

Digitally record material receipts, lots, inspections and movements without requiring a complete inventory ERP.

05

Quality and execution

Capture what actually happened during production, including checks, materials, operators, machines and exceptions.

06

Expedition and trace

Connect finished pallets and dispatch records back to the material lots and production batches that created them.

One connected trail

A workflow built around handoffs—not disconnected forms.

Forms remain simple for each user, while the database connects the records underneath.

Step 1 Order intake

The office records what the customer needs and when it is due.

Step 2 Planning

Production demand is selected, scheduled and assigned.

Step 3 Execution

Factory workers record materials, checks and actual output.

Step 4 Quality

Acceptance, quarantine and nonconformance decisions are logged.

Step 5 Dispatch

Finished goods are linked to their customer shipment and history.

Design principles

Practical enough for the factory floor. Structured enough to grow.

Start with the current workflow

BatchTrace does not require a factory to redesign everything on day one. Existing paper processes can be replaced gradually with clear digital steps.

One source of truth

Orders, planning, production, quality and dispatch refer to the same shared records instead of creating separate spreadsheets and duplicated information.

Local operational control

BatchTrace is being designed so operational information can remain within the customer-controlled environment, with support and deployment handled separately.

A focused alternative to ERP

The goal is not to reproduce every finance, HR or purchasing feature. The goal is to make production records, handoffs and traceability work properly.

BatchTrace is currently being developed and validated with a real manufacturing workflow.

The current focus is replacing repetitive paper records, connecting operational roles and creating a reliable trace from incoming materials through finished dispatch.
