From intake to dispatch

The system structures the movement of product through the facility, with visibility and traceability from the moment product is received to the point it leaves.

  1. Receiving and intake

    Capture incoming product details, delivery information, weights and batch data as product enters the packhouse.

  2. Sorting and grading

    Record grading or quality information to support accurate classification, reporting and production decisions.

  3. Weighing

    Connect weighing points into the workflow to improve accuracy and reduce manual data capture.

  4. Packing

    Track packed product, packaging formats, quantities and batch movement through the packing process.
