What you get

Batch and lot on every delivery.

Book ingredients and packaging in against the purchase order with their batch or lot and date, so you always know what arrived and when.

Use the oldest stock first.

Filter by expiry date to see which batches need using first and which are close to their date.

Hold deliveries until they're checked.

Deliveries can wait as Pending until they've been checked. Rejected or quarantined batches can't be used by mistake.

A record you can show.

Every movement is recorded with the batch, the person and the time, so you can show how a batch was received, stored and moved.

Stores, chillers and dry stores.

Track stock by room, chiller, freezer, shelf or bin.

Order on time.

Set minimum levels, check the low stock report and raise purchase orders to suppliers.

Traceability records

UK food businesses are expected to know where their ingredients came from and to produce that information quickly. AxioLite keeps each batch's delivery date, expiry date and movement history in one place, alongside each item's suppliers, which makes that much easier than a spreadsheet. It helps you keep the records; it doesn't replace your own food safety procedures.
