What slows food and beverage manufacturers down, and how Tryso fixes it
Producers of packaged food and drinks who need recipes, batches and quality checks.
The problem
Recipes on paper
Ingredient quantities live in a notebook in the production room.
With Tryso
Bills of materials hold the ingredients and quantities for each product.
The problem
Batch traceability
A complaint means searching for which batch went where.
With Tryso
Finished goods are stocked in batches with expiry dates.
The problem
Quality records
Inspections happen but are not recorded consistently.
With Tryso
The Quality app records inspections and non-conformance against production.
How it works
How food and beverage manufacturers run on Tryso
From the first delivery to the end of the day, each step happens in the app built for it, on one shared database.

Manufacturing - 3

Quality - 4
Distribute
Finished goods are sold to distributors and shops.
Sales
One count for every shelf, store room and branch
Each branch and warehouse holds its own quantity, and the business total is simply their sum. Transfers between locations are documents with a sender and a receiver, so stock never disappears in transit and nobody has to phone round to find a product.
- Quantity per branch and per warehouse
- Transfers that both sides confirm
- Reservations for orders not yet shipped
Batches and expiry dates on every delivery
Receive goods with a batch number and expiry date, and see which batch is oldest before you pick. Food, medicine and cosmetics leave the shelf in date order instead of being found after they have expired.
- Batch and expiry captured at goods receipt
- Oldest stock visible when picking
- Low stock thresholds per product and variant
Every change has a reason and a document
Counts, damages and write-offs are adjustments with a reason on every line, and sales, receipts and transfers are movements against the same ledger. When a number looks wrong, you can trace it to the document that changed it.
- Adjustments with a reason per line
- Receipts that move stock and valuation together
- Stock valuation from recorded movements

Frequently asked questions
Can I trace finished goods by batch?
Yes. Inventory keeps batches with expiry dates, so finished goods can be traced to when they were made.
Can I record quality inspections?
Yes. The Quality app records inspections and non-conformance against production.
What is inventory management software?
Inventory management software records every stock movement, such as sales, purchases, transfers and adjustments, so you always know how much of each product you have and where it is. Tryso keeps one stock ledger for the shop floor, the online store and the warehouse.
Can Tryso track stock across several branches?
Yes. Stock is held per branch and per warehouse, and transfers between them are recorded documents, so each location shows its own quantity and the business total adds up.
Does Tryso support batch and expiry tracking?
Yes. Products can be received in batches with expiry dates, which matters for pharmacies, food and cosmetics where you need to sell the oldest stock first.
Will online orders reduce my stock automatically?
Yes. Orders from your Tryso storefront reserve stock when they are placed, so you cannot sell the same item twice across the website and the counter.
Is there a free inventory plan?
Yes. Tryso has a free plan with no card required, so you can load your products and try stock tracking before you pay for anything.
