Manufacturing
Recipes, lot-traced batches and QA release for food makers.
A production backbone for food and FMCG makers: versioned recipes and routings, production orders with dispensing and lot genealogy, output into quarantine, HACCP holds, QA release, recalls, machine and sanitation programmes, batch costing and MRP planning. Sold on its own or alongside your field sales.
- Versioned recipes
- Lot genealogy
- HACCP auto-holds
- QA release
- MRP planning
- No operator seats
How it runs, start to finish
Built for
- Food, dairy, bakery and beverage producers
- Repackers and processors who need batch traceability and recall readiness
- Manufacturers who sell through their own vans or stores
- 1
Receive raw material
With the supplier and supplier lot. Materials that require incoming QC land in quarantine.
- 2
Plan production
The MRP run turns demand into production orders with reproducible snapshots; capacity and sequencing arrange them on the lines.
- 3
Dispense to the order
The store issues material against the order, with the outstanding quantity shown and optional dual-verified weighing.
- 4
Run the routing
Operators record readings and waste as they go and post output — which goes to quarantine automatically.
- 5
QA decides
Inspectors record results; only a QA Manager releases, rejects or sends to rework. A failed critical control point holds the batch and everything downstream.
- 6
Release to finished goods
The store moves released batches to the finished-goods store, ready to load or sell.
What you get
Everything below is live in the product today.
Versioned recipes and routings
A version becomes usable only on approval, and every order snapshots the version it used.
Lot genealogy
From the supplier lot through every batch to the finished pack — and back again.
Output lands in quarantine
Nothing becomes sellable without a QA disposition.
HACCP automatic holds
A failed critical control point reading holds the batch and everything made from it.
Separation of duties
Operators execute, inspectors record, only QA releases, and the store can never release. A self-verified release is flagged.
Dispensing with dual verification
Outstanding quantities shown live; weighing can require a second person.
Waste approval, rework and pack-out
Packing loss is recorded, never hidden, and rework has its own door.
Specifications and QC tests
Versioned specs per item, test plans, and a Certificate of Analysis for released batches only.
Non-conformance and CAPA
A workspace for deviations, root cause and corrective actions.
Recalls
Walk the genealogy, freeze the affected list and time the exercise — including mock recalls.
Programmes
Machine maintenance, calibration and sanitation schedules, plus Cold Chain, Allergens and Yield & Loss pages.
MRP, capacity and sequencing
Planning runs with reproducible snapshots, line capacity and order sequencing.
Cost analysis
True batch costing from the lots actually consumed, with recipe and cost access granted to named people only — never by role.
Roles and seats
Your Super Admin switches the module on and decides who holds each duty. Only the roles marked “seat” count against what you buy — back-office duties are free.
Production Operator & Supervisor
FreeRun orders, record readings and waste, post output. Dedicated roles outside the field chain — no GPS, no targets, no seats.
Quality Inspector & QA Manager
FreeInspectors record results; only the QA Manager releases. Dedicated roles, no seats.
Store In-Charge
FreeReceives raw material, dispenses to orders and moves released goods to finished stock.
Manager
FreeRuns planning and approves recipe versions, rate cards and programmes.
Web for the office, mobile for the field
The module lands inside the same OrbisField apps your team already signs in to — no second product, no second login.

How Manufacturing connects
Every module shares the same customers, products and stock ledger, so switching one on never means re-entering data in another.
Works with
Van Sales
Released batches land in the finished-goods store the vans load from — one stock ledger end to end.
Learn moreAccounting
Material issues and pack-outs post to work-in-progress through the stock ledger; batch cost feeds cost of sales.
Learn moreJob Work
Shares the operator and supervisor roles when you also process customers’ own material.
Learn moreManufacturing questions
No. Production and quality roles are seat-free and sit outside the field team — no GPS, no targets, no leaderboards.
No. Recipe and cost access is a named grant, even for the Super Admin, so your formulations stay with the people who need them.
Only through a QA Manager’s release disposition. Output always lands in quarantine first.
