Lot-based inventory with expiry tracking

FreshTrack records inventory by batch or lot. Two batches of the same product can therefore have different expiry dates and be managed separately.

This is especially useful when stock should be consumed according to FEFO: first expired, first out.

Expiry control

Each lot includes an automatically calculated number of days remaining before expiry.

Lots are grouped into practical expiry bands:

  • Expired
  • 0–3 days
  • 4–7 days
  • 8+ days

Stock movements

Usage and disposal are recorded against the relevant lot in the Movements sheet.

The Expiry Pick List helps identify which usable batches should leave inventory first.

Typical uses

  • Food-service inventory
  • Small grocery stores
  • Cold-chain products
  • Other stock managed by lot and expiry date

Filter the lot list by status and sort by expiry date to quickly identify the stock requiring attention.
