A week in SmartTrace for a honey producer
- A harvest from the Ballymore apiary is recorded as a delivery with the date and the number of supers.
- You extract and settle 120 kg. The batch is linked to the apiary harvest and to the jar and lid lots used.
- Jars go to shops, the market and a farm shop over the following months.
- A customer asks where a jar came from. You show the apiary, the extraction date and the jar lot.
