Lot-level traceability for food wholesalers.
Every supplier lot, tracked to every customer drop.
Wholesalers sit in the middle of every recall: when a producer's lot goes bad, the authorities and the producer both come to you with the same question, who received it, how much, and when? Under Article 18 of EU food safety regulations you must answer on demand. Keystone records goods-in by supplier lot and dispatch by batch line, so the answer is a 30-second lookup instead of a night in the delivery-docket archive.
- Goods-in by supplier lot: producer, lot code, dates, quantities
- Every dispatch line carries the lot dispatched, split pallets included
- Recall scope in seconds: pick a supplier lot, see every customer and quantity
- FEFO discipline: short-dated stock surfaces before it ships or spoils
You did nothing wrong, and you still carry the recall.
A wholesaler's traceability exposure is asymmetric: you don't make the product, but when it's recalled you're the party that must scope the distribution, fast, accurately, with paperwork. If your records track products but not lots, the recall scope defaults to 'everything we sold from that producer', and the cost of your own record-keeping gap lands on your customers' shelves. Lot-level goods-in and lot-level dispatch shrink the blast radius to exactly what was affected, often the difference between calling three customers and calling three hundred.
The wholesale workflow, without the friction.
One-up, one-down, evidenced, not asserted.
The legal minimum for a wholesaler is one step back (which producer, which lot) and one step forward (which business customers), available to authorities on demand. Retail customers and BRCGS Storage & Distribution style audits push further: timed exercises, quantity reconciliation, documented procedures. Keystone's records satisfy the legal floor by construction and make the audit layer a lookup. Read our plain-English guide to what EU law actually requires, then never think about it again.
