Dairy production runs on timing, temperature, and traceability. Your software should handle all three.
FlexiBake manages the operational complexity of dairy manufacturing --- pasteurisation batch logging, culture tracking, aging schedules, temperature-controlled inventory, and the lot-level traceability that regulators and retailers demand for dairy products.
Why dairy manufacturers need purpose-built software
Pasteurisation and process logging on paper
Pasteurisation time-temperature records are regulatory requirements. If they're recorded on paper logs taped to the pasteuriser, your compliance documentation is fragile --- vulnerable to missed entries, illegible handwriting, and lost records. FlexiBake captures pasteurisation batch records digitally as part of the production workflow.
Ingredient lot traceability through multi-stage processes
A batch of cheddar starts with milk from specific lots, receives cultures and enzymes at specific stages, and enters aging for weeks or months. Tracing backward from a finished wheel of cheese through every ingredient lot, every process step, and every time-temperature record takes days with paper records and minutes with FlexiBake.
Aging and maturation schedules managed by memory
Cheese aging, yogurt fermentation, and butter culturing all run on time. Product entering an aging room today needs to come out on a specific date --- and the aging room has finite capacity. If your maturation schedule lives on a whiteboard or in someone's head, you're managing a critical production step with the same tools you use for break room reminders.
Short-shelf-life finished goods with FEFO pressure
Fluid milk, yogurt, and fresh cheese have shelf lives measured in days or weeks --- not months. Every day a finished product sits in your cooler is a day closer to its sell-by date. FEFO (first expiry, first out) isn't just good practice, it's the difference between revenue and waste. FlexiBake enforces FEFO at the inventory level.
The Dairy transformation
- Pasteurisation time-temperature records on paper logs
- Lot traceability through multi-stage dairy processes assembled from paper records
- Aging and maturation schedules managed on whiteboards
- Short-shelf-life inventory managed without FEFO enforcement
- Compliance documentation fragile and difficult to audit
- Digital pasteurisation batch records captured as part of production workflow
- Full lot traceability from milk intake through every process step to delivery
- Aging and maturation tracked as part of production scheduling with capacity management
- FEFO enforcement at the inventory level ensuring soonest-expiring product ships first
- Audit-ready compliance documentation searchable and connected to lot traceability
How FlexiBake works for dairy manufacturers
Production management with process tracking
Track dairy production through every stage --- receiving, pasteurisation, processing (culturing, curdling, separating), packaging, and storage. FlexiBake records batch data at each step, creating a connected production record from raw milk intake to finished goods.
Learn moreLot tracking from intake to delivery
End-to-end lot traceability for dairy products. Milk intake lots linked to pasteurisation batches, pasteurisation batches linked to finished product lots, finished products linked to customer shipments. Forward and backward traces generated in seconds.
Learn moreInventory with temperature zones and expiry
Manage raw milk inventory (hours of shelf life), in-process inventory (aging cheese, fermenting yogurt), and finished goods (days or weeks of shelf life) across temperature-controlled zones. FEFO enforcement at every stage.
Learn moreRecipe and formulation management
Store dairy formulations centrally --- standardised milk compositions, culture additions, enzyme dosages, and ingredient ratios. FlexiBake scales recipes for any batch size, connects formulations to costing, and calculates ingredient requirements from production orders.
Learn moreNutritional labelling
FDA and CFIA-compliant Nutrition Facts panels generated from recipe data. Allergen declarations for dairy allergens (milk, soy where applicable). Ingredient declarations for multi-component dairy products.
