Telesto
Food Traceability and Batch Tracking
When a customer, an auditor, or a buyer asks which lot a product came from and where the rest of it went, you need the answer in minutes, not days. Telesto records the lot and expiration date on every item as it moves, so you can trace any batch forward to the customers who received it and backward to the supplier who sent it.
Trace any lot, in both directions
Search a lot code and see every customer who received it, every order it went out on, and the supplier delivery it came from. One up, one back, without opening a spreadsheet. If a recall happens, the list of who to call is a search, not a weekend.
Expiration dates and FEFO picking
Every item carries its expiry and receiving date, so stock sorts itself first-expired, first-out. Your team picks the right batch without checking, and you see what is close to its date while there is still time to sell it.
TELESTO | Food Traceability and Batch Tracking
Core Features
Lot and batch codes
Assign a lot code on receipt or production and it follows the stock through every movement, order and location.
Recall in minutes
Search one lot code and get the full distribution list: who received it, how much, and when it shipped.
Records your auditor accepts
Printable reports on batches, expiring stock, obsolete items and movements, with dates and quantities intact.
Multiple locations
Move stock between kitchens, cold storage and warehouses, individually or by batch, and keep the lot history attached.
Suppliers and orders
Filter orders and suppliers from your phone on the receiving dock, and tie each delivery to the lots it brought in.
Works with no signal
Cold storage and back rooms are where wifi dies. Telesto keeps recording and syncs when you are back in range.
Your buyers are asking already
Major retailers have been enforcing lot-level traceability on their suppliers since 2025, with chargebacks for shipments that arrive without it. The FDA Food Traceability Rule (FSMA 204) follows on 20 July 2028. Whichever reaches you first, the requirement is the same: know your lot codes and be able to produce the records.
Why food manufacturers choose Telesto
As a small-medium food manufacturing company, we face a significant challenge in controlling production stock and determining which batch must go out first. We even tried to build our own system, but after two years, it still didn't meet our expectations until we found Telesto. The batch tracking feature helps us monitor inventory effectively and the support team is highly responsive. I highly recommend this app 100%.
