Food & Beverage Vertical

The operating system for regulated food production.

Shrink Manager™ captures every receiving event, transformation, cooling step, and delivery as a structured workflow. Traceability, audit trails, and regulatory documentation are produced automatically as a byproduct of normal daily operations — not as a separate burden.

If these sound familiar, you're in the right place
📋
"Our compliance records are on paper and spreadsheets."
Temperature logs, cooling logs, receiving records, lot codes. The documentation auditors want is still being produced by hand — or reconstructed the morning of an inspection.
🌐
"International institutional buyers demand more than HACCP."
Sodexo, Aramark, Compass, and overseas equivalents require documented traceability, not just plan-based compliance. The answer keeps being "custom ERP configuration" or "add another paper process."
🔍
"A single audit finding could cost us a contract."
Manual records can't survive a determined auditor — especially when the same operation is subject to U.S., European, and Gulf regulatory frameworks at once.
Our Approach

Plans live in ERP. Documents live in binders.
Execution lives in Shrink Manager.

Most food-industry software focuses on one of two layers. Planning-layer tools (ERPs) coordinate purchase orders, customers, and schedules. Documentation-layer tools (HACCP binders, food-safety plans) describe what should happen.

Shrink Manager governs the layer between them — the one regulators actually audit: how work is performed, how quantities are verified, when labels can be printed, what production steps must be captured. Compliance documentation and lot-code traceability are produced as a structured byproduct of the workflow itself.

What's In The Box

Every workflow a food auditor
actually asks to see

Every feature below was developed inside a live multi-site production operation, refined across more than a million units annually, and validated across a diverse, multilingual workforce.

🔗
Lot Code & KDE Capture
Receiving, transformation, and shipping Critical Tracking Events captured at the point of work. One-step upstream and downstream traceability on demand.
🌡️
Temperature & Cooling Logs
Digital logs captured at the point of work. Timestamped, auto-flagged when out of range, audit-ready the moment they're entered.
🏷️
Production-Driven Labels
Labels generated from verified production orders, not typed by hand. Allergens, use-by dates, and traceability codes included natively.
📉
Shrink Analytics
Every unit produced vs. delivered. Shrink by site, product, day, and shift — visible in real time, with 15% average reduction across live customers.
📱
Mobile-First, Multilingual
Designed for floor staff in any language. Validated across diverse workforces in domestic operations. No ERP training required.
📋
Audit-Ready Documents
Daily, weekly, and audit-period summaries auto-assembled from operational data. No manual document prep before inspections or buyer audits.
International Regulatory Coverage

Engineered around U.S. FSMA.
Architecturally general.

Shrink Manager was built around the U.S. FDA Food Safety Modernization Act Section 204 (the Food Traceability Rule) and institutional buyer requirements in North America. The underlying architecture is domain-general: with light configuration, the platform supports documentation and workflow requirements across major international food safety frameworks.
