Operations software for food manufacturers

Audit-ready, from purchase order to pallet.

Frostspan replaces the clipboards, binders and spreadsheets on a production floor with one system. Every batch is recorded, signed and traceable as it is made, so the records an auditor asks for already exist.

  • Signed, locked records
  • Lot trace in both directions
  • Tablets at every station

Audits

The auditor asks. The answer is already on record.

Show me everything for this lot.

One lot code returns the whole story

Jobs, batches, the ingredient lots that went in and the shipments that went out.

Where did this ingredient end up?

Trace forward from any supplier lot

From a received ingredient lot to each finished lot, and on to the customer it shipped to.

Who did this, and when?

Every step carries a name and a time

Work is accepted, completed and signed by a named person at the station, with timestamps.

Has this record been changed?

Locked on signature, corrections on record

A signed record locks. An authorized correction keeps the original value and shows who changed it, when and why.

What happened when a check failed?

Holds and deviations open on their own

A failed QA check holds the product and opens a deviation. Corrective actions are tracked on one board.

Can I take a copy of this job?

A complete packet for any finished job

The full record of a completed job exports as one packet to hand over or file.

  • Nothing quietly disappears Operational records are retained and guarded against deletion, with verified backups behind them.
  • Updates are released, not pushed Every change is tested and approved before it reaches your production system.

One record

The same record follows the job across the floor.

  1. 01

    Order

    A customer PO becomes a job order. Materials are reserved and shortages flagged.

  2. 02

    Ingredients

    Actual weights and supplier lots, scanned in as they are used.

  3. 03

    Batching

    Equipment, times, temperatures and yield on a digital batch sheet.

  4. 04

    QA

    Readings checked against your limits. A failed check opens a deviation.

  5. 05

    Packing

    Lot codes verified, metal detection logged, cases and pallets counted.

  6. 06

    Shipping

    BOL, trailer inspection and sign-off. Inventory comes down on its own.

On the floor

Each station sees its work. The office sees all of it.

How it works

Set up for your plant, not the other way around.

  1. 01

    Walk the floor

    We start with your paperwork and your process: every form, check and sign-off, station by station.

  2. 02

    Configure

    Products, recipes, limits, stations, roles and labels are set up to match. Your existing data is imported.

  3. 03

    Build the gaps

    Whatever your plant does that the platform does not yet do is built and tested before go-live.

  4. 04

    Go live, stay on

    Tablets go out to the stations, people are trained where they work, and changes arrive as controlled updates.

Custom work

Your plant has a step nobody else has. That gets built too.

The platform covers the common ground. The rest is configuration and custom work, done for your plant and tested before it reaches your floor.

  • WorksheetsBatch sheets and checks laid out the way your process runs
  • LabelsYour lot code format, label layouts and scan codes
  • DataImports from the systems and spreadsheets you use now
  • RulesYour limits, holds, approvals and who can sign what
  • LanguageEnglish and Spanish at the stations
  • ReportsThe numbers your customers, auditors and owners ask for
