Lawson M3 Graphical Lot Tracker supply chain traceability tool

The Lawson M3 Graphical Lot Tracker is a preconfigured supply chain traceability solution. Designed for rapid implementation and ease of use, the solution can help food and beverage companies gain greater control over food supply chain safety and quality, and help them address compliance and traceability.

The M3 Graphical Lot Tracker is an enhanced version of the previous Lawson M3 Trace Engine. It helps improve supply chain visibility and helps food and beverage producers track production processes from raw materials, through production and to the point of sale. It can also help companies manage potential product recalls, which can ultimately help protect their brands during a crisis. Designed primarily for the food and beverages industry, the Lawson M3 Graphical Lot Tracker can also be used in manufacturing and fashion environments where companies need to track and trace the links between different lots in their various supply chains.

The software includes powerful search capabilities to help companies quickly trace backwards to identify potentially tainted raw material lots - or forward to determine the potential scope of product or safety issues. Customer recall lists can be generated to identify affected end products. In addition, ‘lots in stock’ reports identify products remaining inside an organisation’s supply chain with the option to stop the product lots from further delivery. A grouped search function makes it possible to search multiple and combined product lots at the same time, which can be helpful when processing a large number of lots or conducting root cause analysis.

To assist with crisis planning, the Tracker allows companies to create ‘what-if’ scenarios, so they can simulate, test and audit likely scenarios before they happen. This dry run capability can help companies identify inefficiencies and gaps in their processes and helps prepare them for real-life situations before it’s too late.

In addition to supporting reactive recalls, Lawson M3 Graphical Lot Tracker can help companies streamline audits by providing proof of safety procedures, product quality and sourcing strategies. An intuitive web-based user interface helps simplify use for internal and external parties. Regulators and key customers can have online access to traceability data, which can help build trust and confidence in a company’s products and brand.
