Shrink Manager™ captures daily production as structured data: what was made, what sold, what was left. It closes the produced-vs-sold loop that drives overproduction. FSMA 204 traceability and audit-ready records come automatically, as a byproduct of the same work. Alongside your ERP, no replatform.
The tray that aged out is the loss you can count. The rest of it is quieter: the same numbers keyed into a production sheet and then an invoice, the manager working out what happened yesterday instead of deciding what happens today, the compliance record written up a second time from memory, the delivery that already happened being reconciled again by accounting.
Shrink Manager is built to reduce both. The produced-vs-sold loop gives you the countable kind. Capturing the work as structured data — once, where it happens — is what keeps the other kind from growing every time you add a site.
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.
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.
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 — regulatory frameworks, control points, forms and terminology are configuration rather than code — so the platform is designed to extend to the frameworks below. Deployments outside the United States are scoped with in-country channel partners.
| Jurisdiction | Regulatory Framework |
|---|---|
| 🇺🇸United States | FSMA 204 (Food Traceability Rule), FSPCA HACCP, Seafood HACCP, PCQI framework |
| 🇪🇺European Union | General Food Law Regulation (EC) 178/2002, EU Food Hygiene Regulations |
| 🇬🇧United Kingdom | Food Safety Act, BRCGS Global Standards (Food Safety & Storage and Distribution) |
| 🇸🇦Gulf Cooperation Council | GSO food safety standards, GCC Standardization Organization (national adoption) |
| 🇸🇬Singapore | Food Act and Singapore Food Agency traceability requirements |
| 🇯🇵Japan | Food Sanitation Act HACCP mandates (fully enforced) |
| 🇦🇺Australia & New Zealand | FSANZ Food Standards Code |
The platform is production-proven against U.S. requirements. Coverage of the other frameworks listed reflects architectural fit; each is scoped and configured with in-country channel partners during onboarding.
Developed inside a real multi-site production operation, not a product lab. Those sites belong to Anu Sushi LLC, an affiliated operator, where the platform runs today. Refined across 1M+ units annually and validated across a diverse, multilingual workforce. Commercial launch beyond that operation is underway, with the first external customers targeted for 2027.
