Tracing a batch from supplier to customer in one click
A customer calls about a foreign body. Which batch was it, which ingredient lots went into it, and who else received product from those lots?

On paper, answering those questions means pulling receiving logs, batch sheets and delivery notes from different files, and hoping the lot numbers were written down correctly. It can take a day. An auditor or retailer may give you hours.
The problem: links made after the fact
Paper records are complete only if someone copies the right lot number onto the right sheet at every step. One missed number breaks the chain.
How GoMMS solves it
GoMMS makes the links as the work is done, so nobody has to copy anything:
- Receiving: each delivery is booked in as a lot, with its supplier, quantity, expiry date and storage location.
- Planning: when a batch is planned, GoMMS reserves specific ingredient lots for it.
- Production: operators work through the process on screen, and finished goods are booked into the warehouse against the batch.
- Dispatch: the exact finished items sent to each customer are picked and recorded.
The result: pick any ingredient lot and follow it forward to every customer who received it, or start from a delivery and trace it back to the lots and suppliers it came from.
