A week in SmartTrace for a snack maker
- Deliveries of oats, dates, peanut butter and protein powder are scanned in across the week.
- You make a batch of 500 peanut protein balls. The recipe prompts for nine ingredients; each is allocated from a delivery.
- Balls are dispatched to eight stockists over the fortnight.
- A supplier recalls a date lot. One search shows the three batches affected and the stockists holding them.
