When a recall or an audit asks "where did this batch go, and what went into it?", you should be able to answer in minutes, not days. Fast Inventory captures the lot at goods receipt, tracks genealogy at item and process-code level, passes work-in-progress from one operation to the next, issues by FEFO, and writes every movement to an immutable ledger — with an optional blockchain-backed mode. One configurable system, cloud or on-premise, for pharma, food and every business across India and worldwide.
When a supplier batch is flagged, you have to trace by hand which incoming lot went into which output and where it shipped — slow, error-prone, and impossible to prove to a regulator.
WIP is passed operation to operation with no code linking the output back to its inputs, so the chain from raw lot to finished batch breaks somewhere on the floor.
Without enforced FEFO, staff pick whatever is in front. Near-expiry batches age out at the back of the store and become write-offs, or worse, ship to a customer.
If stock rows can be changed after the fact, an auditor can't trust them. You need a movement history that is provably unaltered, not a spreadsheet anyone can retype.
Every lot follows the same controlled path from receipt to dispatch, with the ledger recording each posting — so forward and backward traceability is a report, not a reconstruction.
Fast Inventory gives pharma, food and other traceability-critical operations the audit-ready control they keep trying to build with batch registers and spreadsheets — with the trail written automatically at every step.
Traceability starts at the goods receipt. Lot, batch and expiry tracking records the batch number, production date and expiry date against the incoming lot, its supplier and its store location — so from day one the stock knows what it is and where it came from. Batch-controlled goods carry their lot detail alongside the running balance, and a lot's status — available, hold, quarantine or damage — keeps blocked stock out of availability without moving a single unit.
Fast Inventory adapts to how your floor actually tracks material. In the batch-wise model, stock is followed lot by lot from receipt through consumption. In the item-plus-process-code model, each operation carries its own code and work-in-progress is passed from one operation to the next as a distinct code — so an output can always be traced back to the exact input lots and operations that produced it. Every transfer is a store movement on the shared engine, and the ledger keeps the chain intact.
For perishable and dated goods, issue order is First-Expiry-First-Out: expired lots are excluded as a hard eligibility filter, and eligible lots are offered nearest-expiry first, so the batch closest to expiry always leaves before the fresher one. A lot-expiry dashboard buckets available stock by window — previous, today, this week, this month, this quarter and beyond — giving the team a near-expiry action list before value is lost. Hold and quarantine lots are simply excluded from availability.
Every movement — receipt, issue, return, transfer, adjustment — posts a row to an append-only stock ledger that records quantity, transaction type, reference and rate. Nothing is edited in place: a correction is a new, linked reversing entry, and every row carries a serial number, so the history is tamper-evident. For sectors where an outside party must verify records were never altered, an optional blockchain-backed ledger mode chains the postings cryptographically — a shareable, provable audit trail for full-traceability pharma and food.
Beyond the standard reports — stock ledger, lot expiry, valuation, reconciliation and item-by-location — Dhruv AI gives quality and store managers a role dashboard over live data, a natural-language chat that turns a plain-English question into a query validated through a read-only sandbox, and clustering that groups movement and adjustment remarks into labelled themes — so a recurring "damage in transit" or "short receipt" pattern surfaces on its own, and expiry risk is called out before it becomes a write-off.
Batch number, production and expiry dates at receipt, an expiry dashboard bucketed by window, enforced FEFO issue, and hold/quarantine status control.
Batch-wise or item-plus-process-code tracking, WIP passed operation to operation as a distinct code, and every transfer recorded on the store ledger.
Append-only, serial-numbered movement history that is never edited in place, with an optional blockchain-backed mode for verifiable audit trails.
1D/2D and QR barcodes on items and lots for scan-based receipt, issue and counting, so batch entry stays fast and mistakes stay out of the trail.
Cycle and physical counts at lot level record variance only, then reconcile through a posted adjustment — so a count never silently changes the trail.
Forward/backward trace, lot expiry, valuation and reconciliation reports — plus a Dhruv AI dashboard, NL queries and remark clustering.
Yes. Take any lot and trace forward to every issue and finished batch, or backward to the incoming lots and suppliers that fed it — pulled from the immutable ledger in minutes.
Batch-wise, or item-plus-process-code where WIP is passed operation to operation as a distinct code, so every output links back to its exact input lots and operations.
Yes — expired lots are excluded as a hard filter and eligible lots are offered nearest-expiry first, with a dashboard that buckets stock by expiry window for near-expiry action.
An optional mode that cryptographically chains the append-only ledger postings, giving full-traceability sectors a shareable, verifiable trail on top of the standard immutable ledger.
No. Those industries lead because traceability is mandatory for them, but the same configurable system serves chemical, dairy and any operation needing lot genealogy, worldwide.
Not for traceability itself. Fast Inventory gives genealogy, FEFO and the immutable ledger; Fast WMS adds directed putaway/picking and heavy handheld execution on the same model.
