Run the operation
Move from purchase orders and receiving through production, packaging, orders, returns, and shipping without rebuilding the record between departments.
Learn moreConnected operations, traceability, and finance
Know what came in, what happened to it, and where it went. and what it earned.
QA Trace connects purchase orders, receiving, production, packaging, inventory, quality, orders, and shipments so every lot has an operational and financial story.

Digital operations
Capture the work once, where it happens
QA Trace gives each department one connected workflow from purchasing and receiving through production, packaging, customer orders, and shipping.
- Create purchase orders and post received material with supplier, lot, quantity, quality, and final-cost context.
- Run recipe-based production with consumed inputs, output lots, yield, labels, and production history.
- Connect packaging, customer orders, shipment documents, and calendar views to the same operational chain.
Purchase and receive
Keep purchase commitments, received lots, supplier invoice costs, and usable inventory connected instead of reconciling separate records.
Produce and package
Use recipes, scanned inputs, production lots, finished packaging, pallet labels, and history as one workflow.
Order and ship
Build customer orders, allocate packaged inventory, produce shipping records, and retain the lot linkage after product leaves.
Plan the work
Review production and order calendars alongside current material, inventory, and fulfillment context.
Traceability and risk
Find the complete product story before risk spreads
Trace forward or backward through supplier items, received lots, production, packaging, inventory, orders, and shipments so investigations start with connected evidence.
- Search manufactured lots, supplier items, packaging barcodes, receiving items, and shipping references.
- Keep production reports, label checks, receiving checks, temperature history, and in-process records close to the trace.
- Export usable records for customers, inspectors, audits, or recall investigations.
Supplier-to-customer tracing
Follow a finished product back to its inputs or trace a received lot forward to affected outputs and destinations.
Lot and barcode lookup
Use lot, PLU, receiving item, packaging barcode, or shipment context to find the relevant product history.
QA evidence
Connect receiving, production, packaging, sensor, and verification reports to the operational records they support.
Focused investigation
Use actual lot relationships to identify the inventory and shipments that require attention.

Inventory and fulfillment
Know what is available, where it belongs, and what happened next
QA Trace connects raw material, manufactured inventory, pallet activity, retailer-specific labels, shipments, credits, and returns to the product history.
- Review raw and finished inventory with threshold, aging, lot, barcode, and availability context.
- Support pallet let-down, packaging lookup, quick-scan shipping, and retailer-specific label requirements.
- Record credits and returns with an explicit disposition instead of assuming every return is sellable inventory.
Inventory visibility
See received and manufactured inventory through searchable operational records and live status signals.
Pallet and barcode workflows
Keep pallet sub-items, packaged product barcodes, and shipping scans tied to the correct lot.
Retailer labeling
Support label workflows for major retailer accounts with the product, order, pallet, and shipment context they require.
Returns and credits
Connect a credit to the original commercial and traceability record, including whether stock was returned, held, disposed, or restored.
Operational finance
See which products, customers, and suppliers drive margin
QA Trace turns live operational records into management intelligence. It connects supplier cost, production consumption, inventory, shipments, customers, and margin; it is not accounting software or a general ledger.
- Compare shipped revenue, COGS, gross profit, gross margin, discounts, credits, and returns.
- Review customer profitability, growth, reorder behavior, fulfillment, and ideal-customer patterns.
- Track supplier spend, price movement, delivery, quality, compliance, and dependency risk.
Sales and product profitability
Compare shipped revenue with current linked cost and make incomplete margin coverage visible rather than treating missing cost as zero.
Customer intelligence
See revenue, profit, returns, growth, reorder behavior, and segment patterns with transparent confidence and coverage.
Supplier intelligence
Review received spend, commitments, price variance, delivery, quality, compliance, and sourcing concentration.
Trust the result
Complete, Estimated, Incomplete, Invalid, and Not Applicable labels show what management can rely on and what needs correction.

Quality, compliance, and integrations
Make every check part of the operational record
QA Trace keeps in-process monitoring, report generation, sensors, lab and maintenance workflows, retailer labels, and accounting handoffs closer to the product and lot context.
- Configure product-specific process statuses and move work forward or backward with timestamped history.
- Generate receiving, production, packaging, shipping, label-check, cooking, cooling, metal-detector, and temperature reports.
- Synchronize customers, products, estimates, and invoices with QuickBooks while operational traceability remains in QA Trace.
In-process monitoring
Assign process statuses by product and retain the current, next, previous, and historical workflow state.
QA report suite
Produce operational evidence for receiving, production, packaging, shipping, labels, temperatures, and supported process checks.
QA add-ons
Support temperature sensors, lab samples, equipment maintenance, visitor records, and product-development context where enabled.
QuickBooks sync
Align customers, products, estimates, invoices, and accounting workflows without replacing QA Trace’s operational record.
Connected to your existing workflows
QA Trace works with the systems around your operation.
Connect operations with accounting, retailer labeling, and monitoring without rebuilding the same product and business records by hand.
