Dairy traceability · Ireland

Dairy traceability software for Irish food producers.
Trace every litre, farm to pallet, in under 30 seconds.

When a milk batch is questioned, by a supplier farm, the FSAI, a retailer, a customer in Germany, the question is always the same: which deliveries fed this lot, and which dispatches did this lot end up in? In Excel, that is half a day with the QA Manager. In Keystone, it is one click forward and one click backward.

Supplier delivery → silo / tank → batch → dispatch → retailer branch, in one chain
Per-farm trace lookups for raw-milk audits
Live with Cashel Farmhouse Cheesemakers, international distribution
Designed against FSAI, EU food safety regulations and BRCGS traceability standards

What dairy needs that generic ERPs miss

Raw milk is not a tin of beans.

A litre of milk delivered on Tuesday morning is not the same as a litre delivered Wednesday afternoon, different farm, different bulk tank, different fat profile, different antibiotic-residue clearance window. Generic ERPs treat raw milk as inventory and the lineage disappears the moment it hits the silo. Keystone treats every supplier delivery as a first-class entity: the farm, the bulk tank, the volume, the test result, the silo it filled. When a batch is later questioned, the lineage is still intact.

How the chain works

One graph. Both directions. No spreadsheet.

Upstream (backward) trace

Pick any dispatch line. Keystone shows the batches that made it, the silo runs that fed those batches, the supplier deliveries those silo runs came from, and therefore the farms.

Downstream (forward) trace

Pick any supplier delivery or silo run. Keystone shows every batch that used it, every dispatch that contained those batches, every customer, every retailer branch.

Per-farm rollups

When a single farm raises a query, you can pull every dispatch that touched their milk in 30 seconds.

Architecture that protects you

Finance stays in your accounts package.

Keep AccountsIQ, Sage or Xero for the ledger. Keystone owns the dairy operational side, supplier deliveries, batches, QC, dispatch, COAs, pallet labels, traceability. Dispatched orders publish to your accounts package as invoiced sales. Your finance team keeps working exactly as they do today.

FAQ

Questions buyers actually ask.

Do you support multi-farm deliveries on the same tanker?

Yes, a single tanker delivery can carry milk from multiple farms with per-farm volumes. The lineage stays intact for forward and backward trace.

What about antibiotic residue clearance windows?

Every supplier delivery carries a residue-clearance status. Until cleared, downstream batches block from dispatch. This is enforced, not advisory.

Can the FSAI auditor log in directly?

We provide a time-bound read-only auditor account with a documented audit trail of what they viewed. Most QA Managers prefer to drive the screen themselves, with the auditor watching.

How does this compare with SoftTrace?

SoftTrace is the established dairy traceability heavyweight, strong on history and large-creamery deployments. Keystone is the lighter, faster, founder-led alternative for artisan and mid-market dairies that need traceability + dispatch + COAs without a long ERP-style project.

How quickly can we go live?

Pilots scoped to go live in 30 days on real production data. Standard implementation €4,950–€16,500 depending on supplier count and retailer integrations.
