In food, the real issue is not production but proof. Which raw material went into which lot, what was that lot's analysis result, who approved it, which customer received it. When that chain is split between Excel in the laboratory and paper ledgers in production, an audit or a complaint finds you without a complete record. Without touching your accounting software, we gather that chain in one place. We start at your plant in Başpınar, standing at the sample reception desk.
We are based in Gaziantep, Türkiye, with a London office at Unit 6 Cranford Way, Hornsey, London N8 9DG. On-site discovery covers plants in and around Gaziantep; elsewhere in Türkiye and abroad it starts by video call and a visit is planned if needed. The first 30-minute call is free; the scope of an on-site discovery, and its fee if any, is agreed in writing during that call.
What we want is not to put a new burden on the laboratory, but to have the information already being written down entered once, in the right place. Once the records are gathered in one place, traceability, the audit file and the cost report stop being separate jobs and become different views of the same data.
Every incoming sample is registered, the required analyses are assigned automatically, and results are checked against specification limits as they are entered. An out-of-spec result flags itself; who entered what, when, and who approved it is on record. The scattered Excel file disappears and the data lives in one place.
A single lot number travels from raw-material intake through the production lot to packing and dispatch. On a customer complaint you can trace, in both directions and on one screen, which raw materials the lot came from and where it went. Recall drills run from the same place.
The supplier's certificate of analysis and your own measurement sit in the same record. Over time it becomes visible whose declarations hold up, who keeps arriving at the limit and whose rejection rate runs high. The purchasing decision stops resting on price alone.
Recipes are versioned and held in one place; who changed what and when is clear, and production always sees the current version. Actual consumption is compared with the recipe, and yield and wastage are measured. When raw-material prices are updated, product costs update with them.
Every lot carries its production and expiry dates; approaching dates raise early warnings, and first-in-first-out is supported by the system. A lot blocked by quality does not appear sellable in stock and does not show up on the dispatch screen.
Critical control point measurements, cleaning and hygiene forms and the instrument calibration schedule are held in the same system. When an audit arrives, the file for the requested period comes out ready; the scramble to fill in forms retrospectively disappears.
We talk about what you produce, which analyses your laboratory runs, which certifications you are subject to and what you currently keep where. A short conversation, at no charge — and if we think we are not the right fit for you, we say so.
We come to the plant. From the sample reception desk to the production line, from the warehouse to dispatch, we watch where each record is born, and talk separately with the quality lead, the production chief and the warehouse manager. We also review your current Excel files exactly as they are, because the system's real requirements are written there.
We put your product and raw-material specifications, analysis lists, approval authorities and lot-number scheme in writing. This step comes before any software; no traceability system works unless the lot numbering is built properly first.
We usually start with sample reception and analysis tracking, because that is the most labour-hungry and most fragile part. At each stage we have the laboratory try a working version; we do not move to the next module until they are comfortable using it.
While the system goes live, Excel runs in parallel for a while; we do not switch the old way off until the two records match. Maintenance and development support continue afterwards. The source code we write and your data are handed over to you as defined in the contract; you can carry on with another team later if you wish.
LIMS stands for laboratory information management system — software that records the laboratory's work from sample intake through analysis results to reports. What we build is that, connected to food production: the laboratory does not stand as an island on its own; results link directly to production lots and dispatch.
No. Whether you run Logo, Mikro, Netsis or anything else, your receivables, stock and invoicing side stays where it is. The quality and traceability layer is built alongside it, with data flowing between the two. The custom layer connects to your ERP through the routes its vendor supports (API, service layer or an approved import); it does not write directly into the ERP's database tables. The route depends on the version and licence and is agreed in writing during discovery.
The aim is the exact opposite. Right now the same information is written in several places: on a form, into Excel, then into a report. With the system in place the information is entered once, and reports and certificates are generated from that record. There is a temporary spike of effort during go-live; we say that up front too.
It will, because what an audit wants is records and consistency. The critical control point measurements, analysis results, calibration schedule and lot-tracing records for the requested period come out of one place. The auditor makes the compliance decision; what we ensure is that the person making that decision is handed a complete file.
It depends on the instrument. If it offers a data interface or a file output, we can read from it. If not, we set up manual entry — and even then, results pass through limit checks, so a mistyped entry is caught. We tell you which is possible during discovery, after looking at your instruments; we do not make promises up front.
It is. In a mill the laboratory is already the decision centre of production; the blending decision is made on analysis results. The system records which data that decision was based on, and holds yield and wastage tracking in the same place. Compiling the Gaziantep OSB company directory also showed us the weight of flour and pulses in this city.
It depends on product range, number of analyses and plant size. We split the work into fixed-scope phases; the first phase is usually sample and analysis tracking. Timeline and price are put in writing up front, and after seeing the result the decision to continue is yours. We also have a separate guide explaining how our pricing is built.
Wherever you choose: on your own server or in a cloud environment opened in your name. The source code we write and your data are handed over to you as defined in the contract; third-party and open-source components remain subject to their own licences. In food, records are an asset that must be kept for a long time; they should not be left at the mercy of a supplier.
Let us see on site where each record is born and where it breaks, from raw-material intake to dispatch. Let us review the Excel your laboratory keeps today exactly as it is; the real requirements list is already written there. You end up with a plan that moves in phases, without replacing your current software.
