Challenge 

Before adopting TraceX, the company faced several operational bottlenecks: 

  • Inventory was managed using fragmented systems, making it hard to track batch-wise movement or expiry. 
  • There was no reliable way to associate traceability data (like certifications or quality reports) with each batch in real-time. 
  • Missed expiry tracking led to product loss and delayed shipments. 
  • Customizing receipts for different buyer requirements was time-consuming and inconsistent. 
  • Limited warehouse visibility made inventory reconciliation slow and error-prone. 

As the company scaled into new geographies and began exporting to compliance-sensitive markets (like the EU), the need for a digital, integrated inventory solution became urgent.

The Solution:

With TraceX’s farm-to-shelf traceability platform, the company rolled out the Inventory Onboarding and Management module, leveraging several key features: 

Inventory Management & Traceability
  1. Onboarding of Inventory

They seamlessly added batches into the system with key details like product name, batch number, quantity, and arrival date — digitizing the first step of inventory control. 

  1. Traceability Parameters

Each batch was tagged with quality scores, certifications (e.g., Organic, Fair Trade), and sourcing details, enabling instant verification for audits and buyers. 

  1. Expiry Date Tracking

The team could now record expiry dates and set up automated alerts, helping warehouse managers act in time and reduce spoilage. 

  1. Warehouse-Level Tracking

TraceX mapped warehouse-specific data, so stock across locations was visible in one dashboard — optimizing movement, space, and recall readiness. 

  1. Custom Sales Receipts

Custom-branded receipts were auto-generated per transaction, with buyer-specific requirements, logos, and traceability summaries, enhancing professionalism and trust. 

Results

After full implementation the company saw significant improvements: 

  • Reduction in expired or unsold inventory 
  • Batch traceability from warehouse to sales — with certification data at every step 
  • Faster inventory reconciliation and audit preparation 
  • Consistent, professional custom sales receipts for  export clients 
  • Improved credibility with organic and sustainability-conscious buyers
