Daily control
Keep intake, quality, stock, and dispatch work moving in one system. Less back-and-forth between teams, and fewer gaps between shifts.
Packhouses
Keep the packhouse running with one connected system
FarmTrace helps packhouses manage intake, quality checks, labour, stock use, traceability, and dispatch in one place. The result is a clearer daily picture and fewer gaps between teams, shifts, and systems.
Key highlights
Daily control, floor visibility, connected records
Better visibility
See where issues are building before they become expensive. Management gets a clear view of what is happening across the floor from one place.
Connected records
Keep records clear across the floor, the office, and other systems. Cleaner traceability and record keeping without extra work.
What it covers
The parts of the packhouse you manage every day
Most packhouses use FarmTrace across the areas below. We set it up to match your process, team structure, and reporting needs.
Intake and receiving
Keep incoming fruit and receiving records organised from the start. Receiving records, lot and intake details, and links to suppliers or source blocks — all captured at the point of entry.
Quality checks
Record inspections and keep a clear quality history. Inspection results, defects and notes, and follow-ups linked to the right lots and stages throughout the day.
Labour and shifts
Track people, teams, and output across shifts. Shift-level records, team performance, and supervisor visibility so management always knows how the day is running.
Stock and consumables
See where materials are being used and where waste may be building. Stock usage, consumables tracking, and variance checks linked to work on the floor.
Traceability
Keep the links between intake, handling, and dispatch clear. Lot and pallet references, history across stages, and records ready for audits or queries.
Dispatch readiness
Keep outgoing product and final checks organised. Dispatch records, final checks and sign-off, and clear handover information so nothing leaves without the right documentation.
How it's used
A smoother daily flow
Packhouses use FarmTrace to keep the day moving and to make sure key records do not get lost along the way.
Start with intake
Capture what comes in so the day starts with clean records. Supplier links, lot details, and receiving notes captured at the gate before anything moves further.
Check quality as work moves
Keep inspections and issues linked to the right lots and stages. Quality records follow the fruit — not stored separately in a spreadsheet.
Track people and materials
See how shifts, teams, and consumables are performing through the day. Supervisors can review in real time, not the morning after.
Finish cleanly
Keep dispatch and handover records complete and easy to find later. Clear sign-off and documentation so the end of the shift is as organised as the start.
A smoother day from intake to dispatch
Most packhouses use FarmTrace to keep the day moving — from the first receivable through to final sign-off — without losing records along the way.
Start with clean intake records
Supplier links, lot details, and receiving notes captured at the gate before anything moves.
Quality inspections follow the fruit
Inspection records linked to lots and stages as work moves across the floor — not stored separately.
Track labour and materials in real time
Shift output, team performance, and consumable usage visible while the day is still in motion.
Finish with clean dispatch documentation
Final checks, sign-off, and handover records complete so nothing leaves without the right documentation.
One connected record from intake through to dispatch.
What you can see
Useful answers during the day, not just after the fact
The goal is clear reporting that helps the team respond while work is still in motion.
What has come in
See receiving and intake activity clearly. Know what lots are on site, where they came from, and what their status is at any point in the day.
Quality issues building up
Spot recurring problems and follow them back to the right stage. Defect trends visible before they affect yield or customer confidence.
Shift and team output
Compare performance by shift, team, or supervisor. Identify where output is strong and where it is falling behind before the day is over.
Stock and consumable usage
See where packaging and other materials are being used. Variance checks linked to floor activity so over-use is caught early.
Traceability history
Pull the right records quickly when questions come up. Full lot and pallet history from intake through to dispatch in a few taps.
Dispatch progress
Track what is ready to move and what still needs attention. Final checks and sign-off visible so nothing is delayed at the last step.
