In a worst-case scenario, how will spreadsheets help with a recall?

Digit is a food safety traceability software that records every single movement and process, helping your business stay transparent with real-time inventory updates and historical batch tracking.

What is food traceability software?

Food traceability software is the secret ingredient for tracking perishable goods from the supplier through processing to the customer. It achieves this by connecting supplier records, batch production data, and distribution-related information into a single, searchable system. Each batch will always be linked to its point of origin, processing history, and shipment records, creating a clear audit trail that supports food safety compliance, recalls, inspections, and supply chain transparency. For many businesses, it is a legal requirement to implement this system.

frequently asked questions
We built Digit to make complex operations simple—and that includes our answers. Here’s everything you should know before getting started.
How does food traceability software work?
Chevron down icon

Food traceability software gives you (and regulators) a digital trail of everything that has gone into making your products. 

When you receive a purchase order of ingredients, you will use your traceability software for food manufacturing to assign a unique lot or batch number, along with important details such as:

  • Supplier 
  • Expiration dates
  • Quality check documents

As those ingredients move through your manufacturing processes, the system tracks how they're used and what they become. Some solutions, like Digit, use technologies such as barcode scanners and RFID tags to track product movements, helping you maintain accurate inventory levels as items move around. 

What are the key features of food traceability software?
Chevron down icon

Ultimately, when you implement food manufacturing traceability software, you’re looking for something that gives you: 

  • Complete visibility 
  • Accurate and up-to-date information 
  • Regulatory support  

To achieve this, tools like Digit provide end-to-end traceability, meaning you can access the complete history of any ingredient or finished product. In the case of Digit, you can maintain detailed audit trails to support food safety compliance by uploading relevant documentation to products and orders (sales and manufacturing).  

What's the difference between batch tracking and lot tracking?
Chevron down icon

There are some slight differences, but for the most part, they’re interchangeable, and one seems to be preferred over the other depending on whether you use British English or American English. 

Both lots and batches require adding a unique identifier to a group of products made together so you can follow them from production through distribution. A lot tends to refer to a bigger grouping that might include several batches, while a batch is more specific to items made during one production run. 

But, as already mentioned, whichever term you use, the goal will be the same nevertheless:

  • Accurate traceability
  • Better quality control 
  • Recall readiness 

Keep in mind that both are different from serial number tracking, which assigns a unique number to each item rather than grouping them.

Can food traceability software integrate with existing systems?
Chevron down icon

It depends on the system, but most cloud-based food traceability software is designed to easily integrate with other systems such as ERP, MRP, WMS, and whatever else you might use. This is done either through native integrations or by giving you access to their API so you can build your own. 

For example, Digit has integrations with the most popular e-commerce platforms and accounting solutions, as well as gives you access to the open API, so whatever business-critical tools you use, you can be sure to get them working with Digit.
