Temperature-sensitive products, zero-gap traceability

Truzzel helps dairy processors capture receiving temperatures from bills of lading, enforce FEFO rotation on short shelf-life products, and maintain audit-ready lot records from milk intake to customer delivery.

The dairy challenge

Short shelf life leaves no room for error

Dairy products spoil in days, not weeks. Every hour at the wrong temperature accelerates bacterial growth. Every missed lot rotation means waste. Every audit expects complete temperature and traceability records — instantly.

The PMO requires milk cooled to 45°F within two hours of milking. Processors must prove temperature compliance at every receiving point. Paper temperature logs create gaps auditors find every time.

Common dairy pain points

Temperature documentation gaps — receiving temps logged on paper or not at all, creating compliance holes at the most critical handoff point

Extremely short shelf life — fluid milk, yogurt, and fresh cheese expire in days, making FEFO rotation failures costly

Multi-lot blending complexity — a single batch of cheese or yogurt uses milk from multiple loads, each with different lots and COAs

Pathogen testing pressure — Listeria, Salmonella, and coliform testing must be linked to specific lots with results searchable in seconds

Recall scope explosion — without lot-level traceability, a single positive test can trigger a plant-wide recall instead of a targeted one

PMO and FDA audit readiness — inspectors expect instant access to receiving records, test results, and distribution records

The Truzzel solution

Every load, every lot, every degree.

Truzzel captures receiving temperatures directly from bills of lading using AI phone capture. Every lot is tracked through production, storage, and shipment. Every COA and test result is linked and searchable.

How Truzzel solves it

Temperature capture from BOL — snap the bill of lading at receiving. AI extracts delivery temperature along with lot, qty, and supplier info.

Multi-lot batch linking — snap each milk load or ingredient lot as it enters the vat. AI links every source lot to the production batch.

Test result linking — COAs and lab results extracted by AI and linked to the exact lot. Searchable by lot, date, supplier, or test type.

FEFO enforcement — Truzzel tells your team which lot to pull first based on expiration. Wrong lot selected? Flagged immediately.

Targeted recall capability — trace a specific milk load to every product it touched and every customer who received it. In minutes, not days.

Audit readiness dashboard — real-time scoring across temperature records, test coverage, document completeness, and traceability chains.

Dairy features

Built for temperature-sensitive operations

From milk receiving to finished product delivery. Every lot controlled.

AI phone capture with temp logging

Snap supplier labels and bills of lading. AI reads lot codes, quantities, expiration dates, and delivery temperatures from any document format.

Formula management with versioning

Define cheese, yogurt, and cream formulas with full version control. Track every adjustment. Link formula versions to production batches.

Milk-to-product traceability

Every milk load traced to every batch of cheese, yogurt, or butter traced to every customer. Forward and backward, in seconds.

Short shelf-life FEFO management

Fluid milk expires in days. FEFO enforcement ensures oldest product ships first. Expiration alerts trigger before spoilage and waste happen.

COA & lab result management

Pathogen tests, somatic cell counts, antibiotic screens — all linked to specific lots. AI extracts results from lab reports and COAs automatically.

PMO & FDA audit ready

Real-time compliance scoring. Temperature records, test results, and traceability chains available instantly for inspectors and auditors.

Delivery route management

Plan cold chain delivery routes, assign drivers, track deliveries. Driver mobile view with maps navigation and delivery confirmation at each stop.

Case labeling with QR codes

Generate labels with lot codes and QR codes for every case. Snap to verify label matches batch. Full trace record accessible via QR scan.

Batch cost tracking

Actual cost per unit calculated from real ingredient lots consumed. Milk price fluctuations reflected immediately in batch-level costing.

From receiving dock to retail shelf — traced.
