Inventory & Traceability
Inventory control, from lot to label
Receive goods, assign lot numbers, print barcode labels, count stock, track use-by dates, and trigger purchase orders — all connected to production, recipes, and supply chain traceability.
What it does
Manage stock without the guesswork.
Streamline combines inventory management software and traceability software in one connected system. That means ingredient receipts, stock counts, lot records, barcode labels, production usage, and delivery traceability all stay linked.
Instead of using one tool for inventory and another for traceability, Streamline keeps both in the same workflow — which is a lot nicer when audits, recalls, and stock questions show up before coffee.
Overview: Streamline is an inventory software that connects goods receipt, invoice scanning, stock counts, replenishment, supply chain traceability, lot tracking software, and barcode labels in one management software platform.
Receive goods, scan invoices, and record quantities, lots, use-by dates, and delivery temperatures.
Assign internal lots and print barcode labels for clear stock ID and faster goods-in.
Count, move, and adjust stock by location in one connected inventory management software system.
Link ingredient lots through recipe production, finished goods, and dispatch with lot tracking software.
Trace every lot from supplier to customer delivery with connected traceability software and recall-ready records.
Why it matters
Everything your company needs to stay stocked and traceable.
Food and beverage producers, prepared-food teams, wholesale bakeries, and distributors may receive, use, and move stock differently. Streamline keeps the shared controls—quantity, location, lot, date, adjustment, production use, and replenishment—tied to the same inventory history.
📥
Match what arrived
Review the supplier invoice, received quantity, price, date, and location before adding the goods to stock.
🔢
Review count variances
Compare physical counts with computed stock and generate a variance report when the count is committed.
🔗
Record production use
Completing recipe production depletes the recorded ingredients and adds used materials to the shopping list.
👣
Carry lots forward
Link received materials to production, finished-goods lots, and the delivery documents used downstream.
🏷️
Label received stock
Generate barcode labels after receipt so items, lots, dates, and purchase context stay identifiable.
📋
Keep an inventory history
Review an ingredient from purchase through use, counts, and amendments when investigating a stock change.
🔎
Investigate affected lots
Trace a recorded material lot into production and onward to finished records and customer delivery.
🎓
Turn usage into purchasing
Add depleted recipe ingredients to the shopping list, then review and send the resulting purchase order.
Inventory Management
Count, move, adjust, and replenish without spreadsheet therapy.
Streamline helps companies manage ingredient and stock workflows in one practical inventory software system. Goods receipt, stock counting, replenishment, and inventory visibility all stay tied to the same live data.
- Receive and record goods
- Scan or upload vendor invoices
- Assign internal lots at goods-in
- Record use-by dates and delivery temperatures
- Count stock by location
- Run blind counts and variance reviews
- Adjust stock with reason codes
- Move stock between locations
- Generate shopping lists from par levels and recipe demand
- Create purchase orders from replenishment needs
Supply Chain Traceability
Traceability should not need a second system.
Streamline generates an internal lot at goods-in and lets the receiver replace it with the operation’s own lot number. During production, the system suggests the lot with the nearest use-by date; the team may override that suggestion when the material actually used is different.
- Goods-in linked to internal lot numbers
- Vendor lot linking
- Use-by date capture
- Delivery temperature recording
- Recipe lot records during production
- Finished goods traceability
- Packing slip traceability
- Traceability reports for audits
Linked
Record lot numbers, vendor lots, use-by dates, and delivery temperatures from goods-in.
Traceable
Follow ingredient lots through recipes, finished goods, packing slips, and delivery.
Recall-ready
Find affected batches and customer deliveries faster with connected traceability records.
Connected
Inventory, barcode labels, production, and delivery stay together in one ERP software system.
Lot Tracking
Trace a received lot forward—or a finished lot back.
Streamline makes lot tracking software practical, not painful. Assign lots at goods-in, link them to vendor lots, scan them during production, and trace them through finished goods, packing slips, and delivery.
Barcode Labels
Labels that do more than just stick around.
After goods are received, Streamline generates labels on request, tied to the new stock record and its internal lot. Those labels help warehouse and production teams identify inventory and record the lot selected for supported production workflows.
Goods-in labels
Print barcode labels as stock is received, with key details linked from the start.
Lot-specific labels
Tie each label to the generated or user-defined lot recorded for the received stock.
Date visibility
Include received and use-by dates so staff can identify stock before selecting it for use.
Source context
Carry supplier, invoice, quantity, and storage context from the receipt into the stock record.
Production selection
Scan the label in supported recipe-production workflows to record the lot actually used.
Finished-goods identity
Assign a new lot to completed goods so downstream packing and delivery records retain traceable context.

FAQ
Inventory management questions, answered.
Which inventory workflows does Streamline cover?
Streamline covers purchasing, goods receipt, lots and labels, stock locations, counts, variances, adjustments, moves, recipe depletion, shopping lists, purchase orders, and traceability into finished goods and delivery records. The exact workflow depends on the records and modules configured for the operation.
What happens when a receipt differs from the purchase order?
Before confirming the receipt, the user may change the price or quantity received, add an item that was not ordered, update dates, and choose a different storage location. Inventory is updated after the receipt is completed.
How does lot selection work during production?
Streamline suggests the lot with the nearest use-by date and shows it on the recipe record. The production team may override that suggestion when another lot is actually used. Completing the recipe then depletes the recorded ingredients and assigns a lot to the finished goods.
How does the shopping list become a purchase order?
When a recipe is marked done, the ingredients used are depleted from inventory and added to the shopping list. The team reviews the supplier, quantity, delivery date, and price; the shopping list becomes a purchase order when it is sent to the supplier.
How far can Streamline trace a recorded lot?
Streamline connects a received lot to the material used in production, the new lot assigned to finished goods, and delivered lot references shown on packing slips or invoices. The available trace depends on consistent lot capture through each stage of the configured workflow.
