Why track lot/serial

Many health supplement teams rely on this to comply with shelf-life and recall requirements.
Receiving & issues

Exceptions trigger notifications so suppliers get feedback fast.
Cycle counts
Run cycle counts by lot or serial range to keep accuracy high without stopping production. Handheld prompts guide associates through verification steps.
Recall workflow
Identify impacted inventory in seconds, generate pick tasks to pull product, and document disposal or rework outcomes. Communication logs keep partners informed.
Connect to receiving workflows to ensure replacements move in smoothly.
FAQs
Can we require serial scans at pack-out?
Yes. Configure validation rules so orders cannot close until serials are confirmed.
How do we handle mixed lots?
Guided prompts enforce putaway by lot, and the system alerts operators if totes mix incompatible batches.
Is historical traceability stored?
Every movement keeps timestamps and user IDs, giving you an audit trail from receiving through shipping.
