Batch and Expiry Tracking Built for Recall Readiness

A food or beverage manufacturer lives or dies by batch, expiry and recall requirements. TCB Infotech tracks shelf life by batch, flags ageing stock before it becomes a write-off, and connects that batch and recall data to the ERP you already run.

50+ ERP and software projects. Zero failed projects since 2021.

Why It Matters

Ageing stock that is not flagged early becomes a write-off

Batch, expiry and recall data spread across paper logs and memory is hard to act on in time. Tracking that data digitally, by batch, changes both what gets caught and how fast a recall can move.

Batch and Shelf-Life Reality

Shelf life tracked by batch, not by product line

Two batches of the same product can be at very different points in their shelf life. We track expiry at the batch level, so ageing stock is flagged while there is still time to move it, discount it or use it, instead of after it has already expired.

  • Expiry tracked per batch, not per product line.
  • Ageing stock flagged before it is a write-off.
  • Storage and rotation decisions backed by real data.

One System, Not Three

ERP, custom software and AI working off the same batch data

Batch and recall data connects to the ERP you already run, so raw material sourcing and finished goods stock stay linked, while AI flags batches approaching expiry or affected by a raw material issue for your team to review.

  • Batch and recall data connected to your existing ERP.
  • AI flags ageing or affected batches early.
  • One team builds and supports all three layers.

3
Build
Batch tracking, expiry flags and traceability records are built and tested against your actual batch data.
4
Launch
The system goes live across production and storage and is watched closely through the first cycles.
5
Support
The same team stays available for support and changes as your product range evolves.
What We Handle

Everything a batch, expiry and recall process needs

⌛

Batch & Shelf-Life Tracking

Expiry tracked at the batch level, with ageing stock flagged while there is still time to act.

🔍

Recall Readiness & Traceability

Batch and ingredient traceability kept current, so a recall scope can be pulled quickly if it is ever needed.

🍃

Raw Material & Ingredient Sourcing Records

Raw material and ingredient sourcing recorded against the batches they went into.

FAQ

Food & Beverage, Answered

What does TCB Infotech do for food and beverage manufacturers?
We connect your ERP, build the custom software your batch, shelf-life and recall tracking needs, and add AI where it removes manual expiry monitoring work, scoped around batch, expiry and recall requirements.
Does this replace our existing ERP?
No. The system connects to your existing ERP and accounting setup rather than replacing it. We build the batch, shelf-life and recall tracking your process needs and link that data back to the ERP you already run.
Does the system make recall decisions automatically?
No. The system tracks shelf life and expiry by batch and flags ageing or affected stock for your quality and operations team to review. A recall decision stays with your team. The system makes sure they have the batch and traceability data to make it quickly.
How long does a food and beverage engagement usually take?
Most engagements move from process mapping to a working pilot within a few months. Scope and timeline are confirmed after we walk your production and storage process with you.
What support do we get after go-live?
The same team that builds the system stays available for support and changes as your product range, shelf-life standards or storage network evolve.
Can ERP integration, custom software and AI be combined into one engagement?
Yes. Most food and beverage engagements combine ERP integration, a piece of custom software for batch or shelf-life tracking, and AI where it removes manual expiry monitoring work, scoped as one project.

How We Build Batch and Recall Tracking

From a production batch to a flagged expiry date. Here is how shelf-life tracking, recall readiness and ingredient sourcing come together, connected to your ERP.

Core Process

Batch tracking, recall readiness and ERP connection, in that order

Batch and Shelf-Life Tracking

Expiry tracked by batch, flagged before it is a write-off

Every batch carries its own production date and expiry countdown, moving through fresh, ageing and near-expiry states so storage and rotation decisions are based on the actual batch, not an average shelf-life assumption.

  • Expiry tracked per batch, not per product line.
  • Ageing stock flagged while there is time to act.
  • Rotation and storage decisions backed by real data.

Recall Readiness

Raw material and ingredient sourcing tied to every batch

Raw material and ingredient sourcing records are tied to the batches they went into, so if a recall scope ever needs to be pulled, your team can trace it from ingredient to dispatch in minutes rather than days.

  • Ingredient sourcing linked to batch output.
  • Recall scope traceable end to end.
  • Documentation ready for a health authority audit.

Cold Chain and ERP Connection

Storage and dispatch data connected to your existing ERP

Cold chain and storage tracking connects to the ERP you already run, so temperature history and dispatch records for a batch are available alongside your existing stock and sales data, not in a separate log.

  • Cold chain data connected to your existing ERP.
  • Dispatch tied to the batch that shipped.
  • One place to check stock, storage and dispatch.
