Why untracked lots and manual registers risk factory recalls

Missing supplier lot records

Today Lot numbers written on cartons or paper receiving logs get separated from warehouse bins, leaving stock without batch origin or supplier history.

With MG Factory Receipts record supplier lot numbers and assign internal labels with expiry dates, keeping lot details tied to the warehouse location.

Unknown components in finished goods

Today When an order is produced, nobody records which raw material or packaging lots went into the mixer or machine, making batch investigation guesswork.

With MG Factory Production orders record the exact component lots consumed, linking every ingredient and packaging item to the finished batch number.

Expired raw materials on shelves

Today Expiry dates written by hand on pallets are discovered only after materials spoil in the warehouse or reach the production floor.

With MG Factory Stock views show expiry dates and lot numbers for every warehouse, with the materials near expiry visible before production begins.

Slow customer recall searches

Today A customer complaint or quality defect requires days of searching paper delivery notes and invoices to find which clients received the affected lot.

With MG Factory One search on a lot number reveals where it was delivered downstream, providing the complete customer and invoice list in minutes.

    Generate finished lot or serial numbers for completed goods and record quality inspection checks before warehouse stocking.

  4. 4

    Dispatch to customers with lot details

FAQ

Questions we hear most

Can we track both supplier lot numbers and our own batch codes?

Yes. You can record the vendor's original lot number at receipt, generate your own internal lot or serial numbers, and record expiry dates.

How does lot tracking connect to production orders and quality?

Work orders record component lots consumed, finished goods receive new batch numbers, and quality pass/fail checks link directly to each lot.

Can we migrate existing inventory and lot balances from Excel?

Yes. Migrating products, warehouses, suppliers, opening balances and active lot numbers is part of setup before go-live in 4 to 8 weeks.

Is the lot traceability system fully in Arabic and English?

Yes. Screens, receiving notes, work orders, lot reports and documents work in Arabic and English, with right-to-left layouts throughout.

How is MG Factory priced, and do we pay per warehouse user?

No per-user fees. In Kuwait, Essential is KWD 45 per month per system with a one-time KWD 100 setup, including 3 free support hours.
