Bakery traceability software for wholesale and craft bakeries.
Flour lot to finished loaf to customer, in one chain.
A bakery's traceability problem is speed and volume: dozens of SKUs, daily production runs, short shelf life, and an allergen list that touches almost every line. When a flour recall or an undeclared-allergen alert lands, you have hours to name every affected bake and every customer who received it. Keystone holds that chain as one connected record, supplier delivery → mix/batch → dispatch line → customer, so the answer takes 30 seconds, not a night in the office.
- Backward trace: any dispatched product → batch → flour, seed and improver lots → suppliers
- Forward trace: any ingredient delivery → every bake that used it → every customer, with quantities
- Allergen-critical records: every batch carries its recipe version and ingredient lot list
- Daily-dispatch friendly: batch codes flow to dispatch notes and labels without re-keying
Daily production breaks weekly spreadsheets.
Most traceability spreadsheets were designed around weekly batches. A bakery produces daily, sometimes twice daily, so the records multiply seven times faster, the re-keying errors compound, and the person maintaining the sheet becomes the single point of failure. Flour alerts make it concrete: when a mill notifies you about a lot, the question is which mixes used that lot across the last N days, and which shops, wholesalers and retailers received those bakes. In Keystone the flour delivery is a first-class record; every mix that drew from it is linked automatically, and the forward trace to customers is one click.
The edge cases bakeries actually hit.
SALSA, BRCGS or retailer audit, same evidence, ready.
Whether your customers ask for SALSA (common for craft and regional bakeries) or BRCGS (the multiples' default for own-label), the traceability evidence is the same shape: lot-level records in both directions, a timed annual test, and a mass balance that closes. Keystone renders the chain and the quantities from live records, so the traceability exercise becomes a documentation task instead of a reconstruction project. Keystone is built with an Irish farmhouse producer as founding partner, the batch model applies to any batch-based food production, and bakery workflows (daily makes, multi-ingredient mixes, allergen-led recalls) map directly onto it.
Questions buyers actually ask.

Can it track allergens per batch?
We sell through our own shops as well as wholesale, does that break traceability?
Is Keystone SALSA or BRCGS approved?
