KeyEmpaque

Every batch tells its story, from intake to the shelf

If you produce food or beverages, every batch has to be able to tell its story: which raw material it came from, which process it went through and where it ended up. KeyEmpaque records it on its own, while you work.

Fruit packing line (example)
From raw material to the shelf: every step of the batch gets recorded while you work.

Used by Frutas Sánchez and Damica, two fruit packing plants in Mendoza.

Six modules that follow the batch

Every module follows the batch: from the raw material coming in to the product going out, with its cost and its quality control.

A fruit packing line, one of the industries where it’s used. It works just the same for any food or beverage plant.

Traceability gets recorded where it happens: on the line, in the cold room, at dispatch.

What a generic stock module won’t solve for you

  • Built for food production

    It’s not a generic stock module with another name: it handles batches, formulas, expiration dates and Argentine food regulations.

  • Traceability in both directions

    From a raw-material batch you can reach every product that came out of it, and from a product on the shelf trace back to its origin.

  • The real cost of each batch

    Raw materials, labor and overhead: you know what each batch cost you to produce, not a month-end average.

  • Audits without scrambling

    Process and traceability documentation is generated while you work. When the audit arrives, it’s already there.

How much is it? This is how we quote

What moves the price of KeyEmpaque: how many workstations use it and how much has to be adapted to your process. The license is paid once; the support and updates plan is separate and optional. You leave the first meeting with a final number.

Frequently asked questions

How does it handle batch traceability?

It automatically records every batch you use in each packing run, building full traceability from raw material to finished product. When an audit arrives, the answer is already in the system.

Which food regulations does it comply with?

It’s built for the Argentine food code (CAA), HACCP and other quality standards. It generates the documentation that SENASA and other agencies ask for.

How does it calculate production costs?

It automatically calculates each batch’s cost: raw materials, labor and overhead. You know what each batch really cost and decide prices and margins with that.

Does it include expiration date control?

Yes. It manages production and expiration dates per product, calculates shelf life, warns you when something is about to expire and helps you with FIFO rotation.

How long does implementation take?

Between 3 and 4 weeks, in three stages: we survey your production at the plant (1 week), load your formulas and processes and configure the system (1 to 2 weeks), and train your team and test together (1 week). It can vary with the complexity of your processes.
