Hemp Manufacturing Software
While recent growth in the hemp industry has brought greater opportunity profits, it has also presented numerous challenges, many which can be better managed with hemp manufacturing software features.
Whether your focus is CBD manufacturing or industrial hemp manufacturing, tracking arrivals from your suppliers through production and delivery to customers requires careful monitoring to ensure product quality and avoid delivering spoiled products to customers.
The Value of Lot Tracking
Lot tracking features, available with SOS Inventory, allow hemp manufacturers to track each batch of hemp through its life cycle to make sure only viable product is used to created finished product and to recall anything discovered to be tainted.
Recalling a damaged product can be very costly if it entails discarding a week’s worth of product or worse, if you don’t have enough details to track it all down in time before end users consume it. You risk getting people sick and damaging your reputation. The ability to narrow down any effected product quickly is key to mitigating any potential problems.
