Introducing Batch Tracking

Accounting

Efficient inventory control is essential for businesses handling multiple product lines, especially those requiring traceability. That’s why Built now offers batch tracking, a powerful new feature that lets you track and manage specific groups of items within your inventory.

Whether you’re managing food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or consumables, this helps you maintain control, ensure product quality, and meet industry compliance standards.

What Is Batch Tracking?

Batch tracking allows you to assign batch numbers to groups of inventory items. Each batch represents a specific production or delivery run, helping you monitor the movement, sale, and history of those items throughout your supply chain.

This is particularly useful for:

–Food and beverage businesses that need to trace ingredients or product batches.

–Pharmaceutical companies that must adhere to strict regulatory compliance.

–Cosmetic or chemical manufacturers who need to manage product recalls or quality issues.

 Key Benefits

–Full Product Traceability
Know exactly which batch was delivered, sold, or recalled, and when. This ensures faster and more accurate resolution if issues arise.

–Simplified Compliance
Easily meet industry and safety regulations by maintaining records of each batch’s movement and usage.

–Improved Quality Control
Monitor batch performance and spot trends in returns or defects to identify quality issues faster.

–Inventory Accuracy
Avoid stock confusion and mix-ups by grouping items into clearly labeled, trackable batches.

How to Enable Batch Tracking in Built

Getting started is quick and straightforward:

–Go to Products and Services in your Built dashboard.

–Create or edit a product.

–Enable inventory tracking by selecting “Item tracks inventory.”

–Check the box for “Item comes in batches.”

Once enabled, Built will let you track items by batch throughout your purchasing, sales, and inventory workflows.

Why This Matters for Growing Businesses

It gives you the oversight and confidence to scale your business with control. With tighter inventory management, better traceability, and fewer errors, you’ll reduce risk, improve operational efficiency, and build stronger trust with your customers.
