Contract manufacturing inventory management system showing batch traceability and multi-client operations

Built for Contract Manufacturers & Co-Packers Inventory Management

Essential features that help contract manufacturers track raw materials, batches, and recipes, prevent ingredient waste, and maintain HACCP compliance—all from one intuitive mobile platform.

Automated expiry alerts and low stock notifications for contract manufacturing

Complete Traceability — Every Ingredient to Every Batch

  • Barcode scanning creates digital traceability for every batch material and client batch
  • Production staff scan raw materials during receiving and production — creating instant digital records of who has what
  • See real-time location of every asset — which facility, which storage area, which client batch is using it
  • Automatic expiry alerts reduce waste by 30-40% — no more expired raw materials
  • Complete movement history for audits — prove who had what, when it moved, where it went

Why this matters: Raw materials move between receiving, storage, and production areas. Complete traceability creates accountability and dramatically reduces waste.

SEE IT IN ACTION

Multi-Facility Tracking — All Locations in One System

  • Track assets across multiple facilityes, buildings, departments, and storage rooms in one system
  • Transfer raw materials between facilities with a scan — complete inter-facility ingredient traceability automatically
  • Site managers see everything — individual facilities manage their own inventory autonomously
  • Perfect for contract manufacturers with multiple production facilities with 2-50+ locations
  • Eliminate "its at the other production site" excuses — know exactly which facility has which batch materials

Why this matters: Multi-facility manufacturers cannot track ingredient movement between sites. Unified visibility eliminates duplicate purchases and enables ingredient sharing between facilities.

Ingredient Lifecycle Management — Track Expiry Dates & Shelf Life

  • Invntry tracks expiry dates, shelf life, and ingredient age automatically
  • Set alert thresholds (30, 60, or 90 days before expiry) and the system notifies relevant staff
  • Expiry alerts ensure raw materials are used before they expire and inventory planning is proactive
  • No more finding expired raw materials costing hundreds monthly
  • Serial number and asset tag tracking for complete traceability and audit management

Why this matters: Poor expiry tracking leads to ingredient waste and production delays. Proactive expiry management reduces waste by 30-40% and prevents stockouts.

Receive Raw materials Accurately — Photos, Signatures & Digital Proof

  • When raw materials arrive, staff use the mobile app to capture delivery photos and digital signatures from couriers
  • Essential for high-value raw materials, temperature-sensitive items, and organic products
  • Complete chain of custody documentation — know exactly who received what, when, and from which supplier
  • Automatically match deliveries against purchase orders to catch discrepancies immediately
  • Reduce disputes with suppliers and prevent theft, errors, or missing items

Why this matters: Accurate receiving prevents theft, errors, and disputes with suppliers. For contract manufacturers, complete lot traceability is legally required for BRC, HACCP, GMP, and ISO compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contract manufacturing software is a specialized inventory and production management system that tracks raw materials, batches, and lots using barcode scanning and mobile technology. You need it if you: prevent waste from expired raw materials (saving £400-800 monthly in waste), maintain HACCP compliance (ensuring food safety), ensure complete batch traceability, save 15+ hours weekly on inventory administration, reduce ingredient waste by 30-40%, and ensure ingredient availability for production schedules when needed. Traditional manual logbooks fail to provide real-time visibility, while Invntry gives you complete control over your entire contract manufacturing inventory from any device.
Invntry works in 4 simple steps: (1) Track batch materials with barcodes or QR codes - takes minutes to set up. (2) Staff scan raw materials during receiving and production - captures who, when, and location. (3) Track all batches in real-time showing batch materials, return dates, and expiry date alerts. (4) Automated SMS/email alerts ensure raw materials are used before they expire. System integrates with accounting systems (QuickBooks, Sage, Xero) for seamless ordering and complete visibility across all classrooms and departments.
Yes, Invntry is fully HACCP compliant. The system provides complete audit trails for all inventory movements with timestamps, user IDs, and digital signatures. All data is encrypted and stored securely on UK-based servers. Detailed compliance reports support HACCP inspections and meet BRC, HACCP, GMP, and ISO requirements for complete batch and lot traceability. The system maintains full traceability for batch numbers, lot codes, and production history as required by food safety regulations. Export compliance reports in seconds for HACCP inspections - no more scrambling through spreadsheets.
Invntry pricing starts at £230/month for up to unlimited raw materials and recipes, making it accessible for small contract manufacturers and artisan producers. The Professional plan is £97/month for unlimited raw materials across multiple facilities, which is most popular with contract manufacturers and beverage producers. Enterprise plans with advanced features and QuickBooks and Sage integration are available for larger manufacturers with multiple facilities. All plans include: unlimited users, mobile apps (iOS & Android), real-time tracking dashboard, automated expiry date alerts, check-in/check-out tracking, HACCP-compliant reporting, and UK-based support. No setup fees. 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
No special hardware is required to start using Invntry. Staff can scan barcodes using any smartphone camera (works with iPhones and Android phones). We provide barcode labels that you can print on-demand using standard label printers. For higher volume operations, dedicated QR code scanners or smartphones are available (£89 per scanner). The system works on existing smartphones, tablets, and computers - no additional infrastructure needed. Internet connection required, but the mobile app works offline and syncs automatically when reconnected - perfect for warehouse areas or production floors with limited connectivity.
Yes, Invntry supports multi-site management for contract manufacturers with 2-50+ locations. View and control all sites from one central dashboard. Set different access permissions per site (e.g., managers see all facilities, production staff see their location). Track inter-facility ingredient transfers when raw materials are moved between production facilities. Generate consolidated reports across all locations or view site-specific metrics. Professional and Enterprise plans include unlimited sites - perfect for multi-facility contract manufacturers.
Initial setup takes approximately 1-2 days. Here's the process: (1) Set up your account and add users (30 minutes). (2) Import your ingredient and recipe catalog (2-4 hours depending on SKU count). (3) Print labels for batch materials and client batches (varies by production volume). (4) Download mobile apps and train staff (1-2 hours). Most contract manufacturers are fully operational within 1-2 days. We provide step-by-step video tutorials, and our UK-based support team can guide you through setup via screen-share if needed. No IT support or technical expertise required - designed for production and warehouse staff to set up themselves.
Invntry prevents food waste with multiple safeguards: (1) Expiry alerts are sent automatically when raw materials approach Use-By dates - giving you 7-30 days to use raw materials before they expire. (2) Predictive analytics forecast ingredient usage and detect unusual consumption. (3) Automated reports show ingredient usage and reorder recommendations. (4) Multi-level alerts notify staff of approaching expiry dates (e.g., 7 days, 14 days, 30 days before expiry). (5) Real-time dashboard shows expiring raw materials across all facilities. This system has helped contract manufacturers achieve 30-40% waste reduction, preventing production delays caused by stockouts.
Manual logbooks and spreadsheets have critical limitations: (1) No real-time visibility - you can't see asset location right now without physically checking storage rooms. (2) Human error - staff forget to log entries or make data entry mistakes. (3) No accountability - no digital signatures or proof of who took supplies. (4) Time-consuming - 15+ hours weekly to maintain logs vs. seconds to scan a barcode. (5) No overdue tracking - approaching expiry dates get missed until it's too late. (6) No automated alerts - you only know about ingredient waste after they happen. (7) Not HACCP compliant - spreadsheets can't provide the traceability required for inspections. Invntry eliminates all these issues while reducing ingredient waste by 47%, saving 15+ hours weekly per site, preventing 99% of ingredient waste, and ensuring full HACCP compliance with complete audit trails.
