Production

Control production, track costs instantly

Every production batch links ingredient lots to finished goods. Recipes define what should happen. Batch records capture what actually happened. The difference shows up in your COGS.

Every batch tells the full story

When your team runs a production batch, Truzzel records which ingredient lots went in, what quantities were used, and what finished goods came out — with new lot codes for the output.

This is the link that makes traceability work. Without it, you know you received flour and you know you shipped sourdough — but you can't prove which flour went into which loaf. With Truzzel, every batch closes that gap.

Define what should happen. Track what actually did.

Recipes in Truzzel define your formulas — which ingredients, what quantities, expected yield. When you start a production batch and select a recipe, the system pre-fills the expected ingredients.

After production, you see the actual vs. expected comparison. Used more flour than the recipe calls for? The variance shows up immediately. That's how you catch waste before it eats your margins.

Version control: When you change a recipe, Truzzel keeps the previous version linked to all batches that used it. Auditors see exactly which recipe version produced each batch.

Production tools that match how you work

From ingredient pull to finished good label. Every step tracked, every cost visible, every lot linked.

Ingredient-to-output lot linking

Every finished good lot traces back to the exact ingredient lots that went into it. The traceability link auditors require.

Recipe version control

Every recipe change creates a new version. Previous versions stay linked to the batches that used them. Full audit trail.

Actual vs. expected cost

See the real cost of each batch vs. recipe expected cost. Catch waste and variance before it eats your margins.

FIFO/FEFO ingredient pull

When starting a batch, Truzzel suggests which ingredient lots to use based on first-in or first-expired rules. Minimizes waste.

Batch status workflow

Planned → in progress → completed. Each status change logged with timestamp and user. Production flow visible at a glance.

Finished good lot creation

When a batch completes, finished good lots are created automatically with parent lot lineage linking back to every ingredient.

Know exactly what went into every product you make.
