Lot traceability from ingredient receipt to finished goods release.

Food & Beverage Lab Software

LabKey connects incoming material testing, in-process QC, and finished goods release in one system — so your lab data supports production decisions and holds up when questions arise.

Lab data management that supports production decisions.

When a question comes in about a production lot — ingredients, testing, release status — the answer either exists in your data or it doesn't. Traceability built from cross-referenced spreadsheets, manually assembled COAs, and test results disconnected from the lots they covered all create the same problem: records that can't answer questions fast, accurately, or completely.

LabKey connects incoming material testing to the production lots that consumed them, in-process testing to the batches being produced, and finished goods QC. Each step is documented at the moment it happens — timestamped, user-attributed, and linked. Out-of-specification results surface at data entry, before product moves. Hold and release decisions are documented, not assumed.

Food manufacturers, contract testing labs, and beverage producers run different workflows but share the same structural problem: test data that doesn't stay connected to lot and batch data. LabKey's configurable lab software adapts to your sample types, product portfolio, and client mix — without workarounds or a compliance framework built for a different industry.

Lot traceability from ingredient to shelf

Link every ingredient lot to every production batch it entered and every finished product it became. Trace forward or backward — in minutes, not days.

From incoming material to finished goods release

One system connecting ingredient receipt, in-process testing and finished goods QC. OOS results flagged before product moves. Release decisions documented. Reports built from verified data — not assembled from exports.

Multi-client chain of custody

Test for multiple clients. Keep their data completely separate. Sample queues managed by workload and turnaround — with status visible without calling the bench.
