Verity for food manufacturers

In a food factory, the date on the pack is the product. The records behind it are the business.

Every pack leaves the factory with a batch code, a best-before date and a promise. When a retailer rejects a pallet for short shelf life, an inspector asks for one lot's records, or an ingredient is found faulty, the factory has to answer fast. Verity ties ingredient lots, batches, stock by expiry, quality holds and dispatches together so a question about a lot gets an answer in minutes.

Verity in one line

One system that knows every ingredient lot, every batch code, every day of shelf life left and every customer who got the pack.

How it runs today

Most food factories make good food and keep its history in too many places.

The recipe is known by the production head. The ingredient lots are in a stores register. The batch code is stamped at packing. The quality checks are on sheets, and the dispatch is on a separate challan. Each is correct. None points to the next.

Shelf life is where this hurts. A distributor wants pallets with most of the shelf life still left. If stock is sent oldest first only when someone remembers, the oldest cartons sit at the back and come back as returns.

Compliance has its own dates: the FSSAI licence or registration, staff training, pest control, water tests and annual returns. They live with the quality head or a consultant.

What most food manufacturers run on

  • Batch sheets and stores register
  • Quality check sheets
  • Excel for stock, shelf life and distributor dues
  • Accounts software
  • WhatsApp with distributors and transporters

Each works alone. Nobody can pull a lot's full trail on one screen when it matters.

15 problems, one by one

Where a food factory actually loses money and trust.

These are the situations food business owners and quality heads describe again and again. For each: what it looks like on an ordinary day, what it costs, and what Verity does about it.

  1. 01Traceability

    One ingredient lot goes into many batches and nobody can map it

    What it looks like

    A spice supplier sends one lot that fills three batches of two products. A customer complaint arrives for one pack. Stores can find the supplier invoice but not the batches that used the lot.

    What it costs you

    Without the map, you hold or recall more than you need. A bigger hold is more lost stock and a louder problem.

    How Verity fixes it

    Ingredient lots are received with supplier, date and expiry. Each batch records the lots it used. Verity shows, both ways, every batch a lot went into and every customer who received them.

    See the screen
  2. 02Stock

    Short-dated stock goes out last and comes back as returns

    What it looks like

    New cartons are stacked in front because they are easier to pick. The older ones stay at the back until they are too close to expiry for a distributor to accept.

    What it costs you

    One distributor-side account says retailers often want about 60 percent of shelf life left on food at purchase, and that about 10 percent of what that firm buys from brands is rejected. Stock that fails that test comes back or is written off.

    How Verity fixes it

    Finished goods are held by batch and best-before date. Verity picks first-expiry-first-out for each order, and shows each batch's remaining shelf life against each customer's minimum.

    See the screen
  3. 03Quality

    A batch fails a check and still gets packed

    What it looks like

    Moisture reading is above range at 11 am. The line is busy. The batch is packed and the result is only noticed in the evening.

    What it costs you

    A failed batch in the market is a recall risk. A failed batch caught after packing is wasted packaging, labour and shelf space.

    How Verity fixes it

    In-process and final checks are recorded against the batch with the allowed range. A result outside range places the batch on hold, and the packing step cannot start for it until the quality head releases it.

    See the screen
  4. 04Quality

    Holds are verbal and stock moves anyway

    What it looks like

    The quality head says, hold that batch. The warehouse supervisor was not at that call. A pallet leaves on a truck that afternoon.

    What it costs you

    Hold means nothing without a block. A held batch that ships becomes a customer's problem.

    How Verity fixes it

    A hold is a status on the batch that stops picking and dispatch. Verity lists current holds with the reason, the owner and the age, and records the release or the destruction decision.

    See the screen
  5. 05Recall

    A recall drill takes days, not hours

    What it looks like

    A supplier notifies a contaminant in an ingredient. The team must find every batch, every customer, how much is unsold and how much is in transit. It takes two days of calls.

    What it costs you

    FSSAI recall rules ask food businesses to have a recall plan and distribution records. A slow response widens the exposure and the damage to the brand.

    How Verity fixes it

    Verity lists affected batches, quantity dispatched, customers, warehouse stock and returns in one view, and creates a task per customer for staff to call, with outcomes recorded.

    See the screen
  6. 06Packing

    Best-before dates are wrong on the pack

    What it looks like

    A date coder is set by hand at the start of the shift. One day it prints last month's date. The error is spotted at the warehouse after 600 cartons are made.

    What it costs you

    Rework, relabelling and sometimes a destroyed batch. Worse, a wrong date that reaches the market.

    How Verity fixes it

    The pack date, batch code and shelf life come from the batch record. A line-start check compares the first printed pack with the record, and a mismatch holds the line until it is signed off.

    See the screen
  7. 07Costing

    Ingredient prices move and the pack price does not

    What it looks like

    Edible oil, packing film or sugar rises. The price list was set in April. Wastage on the line and trim loss are not counted.

    What it costs you

    Example arithmetic: a ₹40 pack with ₹26 of ingredients and packing, ₹6 of conversion and 5 percent line loss earns about ₹6, not ₹8.

    How Verity fixes it

    Every purchase records the rate. Verity costs each batch from actual lots, yield and line loss, and shows margin per product and per customer, so a rise shows as a changed margin quickly.

    See the screen
  8. 08Stock

    Ingredients expire in stores before they are used

    What it looks like

    A seasonal ingredient was bought in bulk at a good rate. Half of it was past its date before the next production cycle.

    What it costs you

    Cash tied up and written off. Example arithmetic: ₹3 lakh of stock written off a quarter is about ₹12 lakh a year.

    How Verity fixes it

    Ingredient lots carry expiry. Verity lists lots by days left against the production plan, and raises a task to use or return the ones at risk.

    See the screen
  9. 09Money

    Distributors pay late and ask for returns in the same call

    What it looks like

    A distributor with ₹18 lakh outstanding asks to return near-date stock and adjust it against dues. Sales agrees on a call. The accounts person finds out at month end.

    What it costs you

    Return adjustments without records are disputes later. Slow payment also pushes the factory to borrow.

    How Verity fixes it

    Returns are recorded against the original batch and invoice with a reason. Verity shows dues by distributor and age net of approved returns, and routes a return above your limit for approval.

    See the screen
  10. 10Money

    Micro and small suppliers are paid late

    What it looks like

    Small farm-gate and packing suppliers wait 70 days. Their calls begin to disrupt purchase planning.

    What it costs you

    Since 1 April 2024, payment beyond the agreed period, capped at 45 days, to a micro or small seller is generally not deductible until it is paid.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each supplier bill is a record with due date against the 45 day limit and the supplier's size category. Verity lists bills approaching the limit so payment is planned before it turns into a tax cost.

    See the screen
  11. 11Compliance

    Licence, training and test dates sit with one person

    What it looks like

    The licence, the water test, the pest control contract, and the food safety supervisor's certificate each have a date. The quality head knows them. If she is away, nobody does.

    What it costs you

    A lapsed certificate or missed test is found when an officer visits. Fines and notices follow, and the scramble costs days.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each licence, test report, contract and training certificate is a record with expiry and owner. Renewal tasks open weeks ahead. Annual returns are tasks with the figures totalled from batches and dispatches.

    See the screen
  12. 12Hygiene

    Cleaning, pest and temperature checks are signed in bulk

    What it looks like

    Daily checks for cold room temperature, line cleaning and pest traps are ticked together at the end of the week before an audit.

    What it costs you

    A check that is not done on the day cannot be proved later. A cold room drift can spoil a whole store of ingredients.

    How Verity fixes it

    Daily checks are tasks with a person and a time. A missed one is flagged the same day, and a temperature outside range opens an issue on the stock held there.

    See the screen
  13. 13Equipment

    Machine stops are noted nowhere

    What it looks like

    The filling machine stops six times a shift for small reasons. Nobody records it. The shift report says output was low.

    What it costs you

    Without reasons, the same stops repeat. Over a month they are lost packs and overtime.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each stop is a quick entry with reason and duration. Verity shows downtime by machine and cause, and links service tasks with dates to each machine.

    See the screen
  14. 14Orders

    Orders are taken without knowing what is packed

    What it looks like

    A key account orders 5,000 cartons for Friday. Sales confirms. Packing material has not arrived and the line is booked.

    What it costs you

    A missed delivery to a modern trade chain can mean penalties or a lost listing.

    How Verity fixes it

    Each order shows stock by batch, packing material, line slot and promised date. The planner sees conflicts before a date is confirmed.

    See the screen
  15. 15Owner

    The owner reads the factory through phone calls

    What it looks like

    Output, holds, expiring stock and dues are four different questions to four different people.

    What it costs you

    Decisions run on memory. A shelf-life or yield problem shows up weeks later as a return.

    How Verity fixes it

    One morning screen with batches made, holds, stock near expiry, dispatches and overdue dues, each with an owner.

An ordinary day

The same Thursday, before and after.

What changes is not the recipe. It is that every step leaves a record, and the record does the chasing.

WhenTodayWith Verity
8:00 TodayThe production head reads yesterday's output from a notebook and asks stores what is near expiry. With VerityThe Today screen shows 9 batches packed, 2 on hold and 1,140 cartons under 40 percent shelf life.

How we work with you

We set it up with you, in four weeks.

You do not get a login and a manual. We spend time on your line, at receiving and at dispatch, build Verity around how your factory really runs, bring your data in, then stay to make sure it keeps working.

  1. Week 1

    Discovery and mapping

    What we do
    Spend a shift on the line. Follow an ingredient lot from receiving to a coded pack to a loaded truck, and note where each record is made.
    What we need from you
    Two to three hours of yours and your quality head's. A few batch sheets, a month of dispatches and the compliance calendar.
    What you have at the end
    A written map of your factory: products, recipes, lot and batch codes, shelf life rules, quality checks, and the first gaps we will close.

  2. Weeks 2 to 3

    Configuration

    What we do
    Set up products and recipes, batch and date code rules, check ranges, hold and release rules, customer minimum shelf life, licence dates, hygiene tasks, machines and the six screens in your terms.
    What we need from you
    Check the setup with quality and stores. Tell us where a range or a rule is wrong.
    What you have at the end
    A working Verity with your real products, checks and people, ready for your data.

  3. Weeks 3 to 4

    Migration and training

    What we do
    Bring in your customers, products, stock by batch and expiry, licence dates and open dues from your sheets and accounts export. Train receiving, the line, quality, the warehouse and accounts at their stations.
    What we need from you
    A stock count by batch and expiry, the dues list and licence copies. One hour with each role.
    What you have at the end
    Your factory's data inside Verity and a team that has used it through a real batch and dispatch.

  4. After go-live

    Operations partnership

    What we do
    Stay on after launch. Review the first weeks of holds, returns and dues with you, tune ranges and limits, and change setup when you add a product or a line.
    What we need from you
    A short monthly review of what the numbers say.
    What you have at the end
    A system that keeps matching how the factory runs, with someone responsible for it.

Bring these on day one

  • Your product list with recipes and shelf life
  • A month of batch and quality sheets
  • Your ingredient lot register
  • The licence and certificate list with expiry dates
  • Distributor dues and a month of dispatch notes

Your time

About 9 to 12 hours of your own time across the four weeks, mostly in week 1. Quality, stores and accounts need a few more.

After go-live

Nobody is hired to run Verity. Lots, batches and dispatches are recorded as part of work the factory already does, and the reports come from those records.

Verity AI

Ask your factory a question. Get an answer, not a report to build.

Verity AI reads your own batches, lots, stock and dues. Ask in plain language, then turn the answer into tasks for the right people.

  • Your records only Answers come from your own food manufacturers data, not from generic knowledge.
  • Right person, right view It only shows what the person asking is allowed to see.
  • Turns into action An answer can become a task assigned to a named person.

Verity / Ask

Which stock has less than 40 percent shelf life left?

Three batches, 1,140 cartons. One is already below the minimum for two of your customers.

  • Namkeen N-1002860 ctn
  • Pickle P-0220540 ctn
  • Others0

Create sell-first tasks for sales

Verity / Ask

Which customers got ingredient lot CH-0412?

Five customers across three batches. One batch of 1,800 cartons is still in the warehouse.

  • Customers5
  • Cartons shipped5,000
  • In warehouse1,800

Hold the warehouse batch and create call tasks

Verity / Ask

Why were returns higher in September?

Most came from two distributors and were Pickle batches below 30 percent shelf life at delivery.

  • Rao Distributors62%
  • Sai Traders24%
  • Others14%

Sample questions and answers with illustrative figures.

Without chasing

The follow-ups nobody has time to make.

Set once, then they run from your records. Staff still call distributors and suppliers; Verity makes sure the right person knows what to do.

Rules and paperwork

The rules a food factory has to keep up with.

Verity does not give legal advice and does not file anything for you. It keeps the records these rules depend on in order, so you are not hunting for them when someone asks.

  • FSSAI registration or licence

    What is expected

    A food manufacturer needs FSSAI registration or a licence. From 1 April 2026 the basic registration band generally applies up to ₹1.5 crore turnover, a State Licence above that up to ₹50 crore, and a Central Licence generally above that, while some categories need a Central Licence regardless of turnover. Licences generally no longer need periodic renewal, but changes to particulars must be filed.

    How Verity helps

    The registration or licence is a record with category, number and the changes that need filing. Capacity or product changes become tasks.

    SetIndiaBiz

  • Recall plan and distribution records

    What is expected

    The Food Safety and Standards (Food Recall Procedure) Regulations, 2017, generally expect a food business to keep a recall plan and distribution records that connect raw materials, batch and lot codes to the accounts that received the food. Check the retention period and reporting time in the regulation.

    How Verity helps

    Lots, batches, dispatches and customers are linked records, so a recall list can be produced from them.

    Taxguru

  • Food safety supervisors and Schedule 4 hygiene

    What is expected

    FSSAI's FoSTaC programme trains food safety supervisors in good hygiene and manufacturing practices based on Schedule 4 of the licensing regulations. Check whether and how many certified supervisors your licence category requires.

    How Verity helps

    Each person's training certificate sits on their record with an expiry date, and daily hygiene checks are signed off as tasks.

    FSSAI FoSTaC

  • Annual return and local registrations

    What is expected

    Licensed manufacturers are generally expected to file an annual return, and other registrations such as local trade, pollution consent where applicable, and weights and measures labelling rules apply. Dates and forms vary, so confirm them with FoSCoS or your consultant.

    How Verity helps

    The return and each registration are tasks with an owner and a date, with production and sales figures totalled from batches and dispatches.

  • Payment terms for micro and small suppliers

    What is expected

    From 1 April 2024, a buyer that owes a micro or small seller generally must pay within the agreed period, capped at 45 days, or the amount is not deductible until paid.

    How Verity helps

    Supplier bills show due dates against that limit so payments are planned.

    SetIndiaBiz

Rules change and differ by category, turnover and state. Confirm current requirements with your consultant or the FSSAI licensing authority.

Who sees what

Everyone sees the same records, through their own window.

A line operator should not see distributor margins. Sales should not release a quality hold. Each role opens on what it needs.

  • Owner

    Is the factory making money, and what is at risk?

    Margin by product and customer, holds, stock near expiry, returns, dues and compliance dates.

  • Production head

    What is packed, what is planned and what stopped?

    Batches, line slots, machine stops, packing material and order dates.

  • Quality head

    What is on hold, what is due and what is under complaint?

    Check results, holds, retained samples, complaints, licences and hygiene checks.

  • Stores and dispatch

    What is where and what goes first?

Straight answers

What changes, and what stays the same.

Keep using

  • Your accounts software. We agree during setup how invoices and payments reach Verity.
  • Your date coders and packing machines. Staff set them
  • Verity checks the first printed pack against the batch record.
  • Your food safety consultant, who still prepares and files what FSSAI needs.
  • WhatsApp and phone with distributors. Staff talk
  • Verity tracks who owes a reply.

Verity does not

  • Control your machines or lines.
  • File your FSSAI returns or licence changes.
  • Give food safety or legal advice.
  • Send messages to distributors or suppliers on its own.

We bring your products, customers, stock by batch and expiry, licence dates and open dues across from the sheets, registers and accounts export you use now, in stages, so the factory keeps running while it happens.

Questions

Questions food factory owners ask.

Will my packing staff really record batch codes and checks?

Only if it takes seconds at the point of work, so we set up entry at receiving, the line and dispatch with a few fields each. We train during a real shift and start with the records that matter most.

Can Verity run first-expiry-first-out?

Yes, if finished goods are held by batch and best-before date. Verity proposes the pick order for each order and shows the remaining shelf life against each customer's minimum.

How does it help in a recall?

It links ingredient lots to batches, batches to dispatches and dispatches to customers, so you can list the affected stock and customers in minutes. Your team still calls the customers and deals with the authority.

Does it replace my accounts software?

No. Your accounts stay where they are. We agree during setup how invoices and payments reach Verity, which then handles lots, batches, quality holds, shelf life and dues.

Does it file my FSSAI returns or licence changes?

No. It keeps the dates and figures in order and tells the right person what is due. You or your consultant files with the authority.

I make seasonal products. Will it cope?

Yes. Products and recipes can be active for a season, and ingredient lots show expiry against the plan, so seasonal stock is used or returned in time.

Can I see two factories together?

Yes. Each is a location in one system, with stock, holds, dispatches and dues side by side, and customers are the same across both.

Who can see my data?

Only the people you allow. Access is set by role, so the line, quality, sales and accounts each see what they need, and every change is recorded with who made it and when.

How quickly will I see something useful?

The shelf-life list, overdue dues and licence calendar need only your existing data, so we aim to have them first. Holds and traceability become reliable after a few weeks of recorded batches.

What does it cost?

It depends on the number of factories, people and what you want set up. Message us and we will give you a clear number after a short conversation about how your factory runs.
