- Origin and lot information to carry from the sack to the retail bag.
- Blends made from several roasts of several origins.
- Wholesale customers taking from the same roast over a week.

- Blends as products assembled from several roasts
- Roast date on every batch for freshness
- Green stock levels and reorder alerts
- Dispatch history per café
A week in SmartTrace for a roaster
- A 60 kg sack of Colombian green arrives; you record the importer's lot and the origin.
- You roast 12 kg. The batch records the green lot used and gets a roast date and code.
- You blend two roasts into a house espresso; the blend is a product tracing back to both.
- Bags go to cafés and online customers, each dispatch linked to the roast.
