Cloud edition features coming 2027

From the scale to the Certificate of Analysis.

Pallet-level inventory management

Track and Pack is designed to manage inventory pallet by pallet. It runs a plant's packing floor, shipping office and quality lab in one web application. Every pallet is weighed, labelled and traced; every shipment gets its paperwork; every lot can carry its test results to the customer.

Now being rebuilt for the cloud on Microsoft Azure, so a plant can be run from any browser, anywhere.

A pallet's path through Track and Pack A packing floor in miniature: a pallet is weighed on the scale, labelled, its lot tested in the quality lab, stored in inventory, picked onto a packing list and shipped on a bill of lading, with its Certificate of Analysis travelling with the load.

End to end

One system from receiving dock to shipping dock

These parts are built and released today. They share one database, so a lot number, a pallet or a customer means the same thing on every screen.

  1. 1

    Receive

    Raw materials received against supplier packing slips, with stock labels and barcodes for each supplier pallet.

  2. 2

    Produce

    Customer orders and recipes. Starting production deducts the raw materials the recipe calls for.

  3. 3

    Weigh and label

    Each pallet is weighed at the packing station and labelled with its spec, lot and net weight.

  4. 4

    Test and certify

    Each lot is tested against each customer's limits while its pallets wait in inventory, ready for the Certificate of Analysis.

  5. 5

    Pack and ship

    Pallets are picked onto packing lists, packing lists onto bills of lading with their certificates. Shipped paperwork is locked.

  6. 6

    Report

    Inventory, aging, lot traceability, production, raw material consumption and quality reports.

Designed for pallet-level inventory

The pallet is the unit Track and Pack counts. Every finished pallet is its own record: its spec, lot, gross, tare and net weight, its label, who packed it, and the packing list and bill of lading it left on. Supplier pallets are received the same way, one by one. Inventory, aging and traceability add up pallet by pallet, so any pallet can be found, reprinted or traced to its customer.

Shop floor

Weighed, labelled and recorded at the scale

Packing a pallet is one step at the station. Track and Pack weighs it, works out the net weight, prints its labels and adds it to inventory.

  • Connected to your scale. Weights come straight from the scale, and a reading that doesn't look right is refused instead of saved.
  • Accurate net weights. Packaging is taken off automatically, so the label, the inventory and the shipping paperwork always agree.
  • Labels on demand. Pallet labels print at the station, and any pallet can be reprinted later.
  • No duplicates. Each pallet is recorded once, however many times the button is pressed.
  • Every label the floor needs. Pallet, package, carrier and raw-material labels, with barcodes.
  • Each pallet under a name. Packers sign in with their own accounts; every pallet records who packed it.

Track and Pack Consoles

Ready-to-use packing stations, supplied and supported by Streamline Technical. Or use any PC with a browser.

Shipping office

  • Packing lists by customer, PO and work order
  • Bills of lading with carrier, payment terms and ship date, printed from the browser
  • Once a list ships, its pallets, weights and bill of lading can't change until it is reopened
  • Finished-goods inventory by spec, with aging and lot traceability from pallet to customer

Raw materials and orders

Know what came in, and what went into each order

Packing slips read for you

Photograph or upload a supplier's packing slip. An AI model (Anthropic's Claude) reads the header and every pallet line into a review screen; a person checks it against the slip before anything is received.

Receiving and stock

Receipts, adjustments and on-hand stock for each raw material, with barcodes for scanner-driven intake.

Recipes and orders

Recipes say what each product is made of. Customer orders track every line from pending to shipped, with fulfillment against the pallets actually packed.

Raw material consumption

Raw material deducted when production starts, with consumption reports by material and by order.

Sales and purchasing

Quote from what's on hand, reorder before you run out

Sales and purchasing read the same records the floor writes, so the numbers change the moment a pallet is packed, a delivery is received or production starts.

Finished goods for faster quotes

Finished goods on hand by spec: how many pallets and pounds, how much is already reserved, what is still available and how long it has been waiting. Sales can see what is ready to ship before quoting, without walking the floor.

Low-stock alerts

Every raw material has a reorder point. The dashboard flags each material at or below it as stock is received and used, and the reorder report shows how many days each one has left at its current rate of use, so you know when to reorder.

Quality lab

Test results that travel with the shipment

The quality module replaces lab spreadsheets with one record per test, judged against the right limits and ready to put on a certificate.

  • Specs and limits per product, with a customer's own limits where they differ from the standard.
  • Results entry by package, with each reading checked against its limits as it is typed.
  • Calculated properties such as tenacity, worked out once per test from the test's own measurements.
  • Run charts and capability (Pp / Ppk) by spec, customer and machine, with CSV export.
  • Certificates of Analysis from a packing list or bill of lading, saying which tests each result is based on.
  • Cases for complaints and investigations, with photos and lab printouts attached.
  • Workbook import brings years of Excel test history in, with an undo for each import.
  • Change history: every edit, deletion and rejected package is kept, with who and when.

The cloud edition

Run your plant from any browser, anywhere

Track and Pack is being rebuilt as a cloud service on Microsoft Azure. Managers, the lab and the office will reach every screen from any browser, at the plant, at home or on the road, with nothing to install.

New features coming in 2027.

Every screen, any browser

Dashboards, reports, orders, packing lists and quality results from the office, from home or from another site, on a PC, a laptop or a phone.

Your hardware stays put

Scales and label printers stay on the plant's own network, and the plant opens nothing to the internet.

Secure by design

Multi-factor sign-in for every user, encrypted connections, and each company's data kept separate from every other's.

Access and security

The right screens for the right people

One person can hold several roles, and each role sets a level for each area of the site: administration, quality and shipping. Menus show only what a person's roles can open.

  • Reports Viewer
  • Product Manager
  • Billing Administrator
  • Shipping User
  • Quality Technician
  • Quality Supervisor
  • Quality Administrator
  • Global Administrator
  • Sign-ins that end. After a set time without activity, and always after 12 hours, so the next person at a shared screen doesn't work under someone else's name.
  • Guessing stopped. Sign-in pauses after repeated wrong passwords.
  • Every change checked. Every change to the code runs automated checks for errors, security problems and leaked secrets.
  • Records kept. Who packed, deleted or restored each pallet, and every change to a quality test.
  • Strict data. The database refuses a value that doesn't fit, rather than quietly cutting it short.
