You create a product, then log batches against it. Each batch records which ingredients you used, how much of each, and from which supplier lot. NutriBoard tracks your inventory in real time, sends low stock alerts, and calculates batch cost automatically based on actual ingredient usage.

NutriBoard calculates the cost of each batch dynamically based on actual ingredient usage and your current inventory prices. You get ingredient-level cost accuracy and real-time margins so you know your true cost per unit before you ship.

Yes. NutriBoard provides live inventory tracking across all ingredients. When you log a batch, ingredient stock is deducted automatically. You get low stock alerts so you never run out mid-production, and stock levels update in real time on the production dashboard.

NutriBoard connects your entire workflow with full traceability. You can trace forward from raw ingredients to which customer received the finished product, or backward from a customer complaint to exactly which ingredients and supplier lots went into that batch. It covers batch tracking, ingredient tracking, and product movement.

Yes. NutriBoard lets you run instant mock recalls. Select any batch or ingredient lot and trace it forward to every customer who received it, or backward to every raw ingredient that went into it. The full traceability chain is documented and audit-ready. Most producers complete a mock recall in under 2 minutes.

NutriBoard includes full preventive control plan support: facility management (SFC license, brand names, responsible person), hazard analysis across biological, chemical, physical, and allergen categories with risk scoring (likelihood x severity), CCP and preventive controls, CFIA-ready templates, and daily activity logs for cleaning, temperatures, allergen swabs, and pest control.

Activity logs are daily operational checks you record in NutriBoard: cleaning verification, temperature monitoring, allergen swabs, pest control, and more. Logs auto-lock after 24 hours to maintain audit integrity. Your full activity history is available for CFIA inspections.
