Production traceability

See every ingredient, check, location, and shipment behind one batch.

Cultivar

Cultivar connects receiving, production, quality, storage, and shipment records around a traceable batch history.

The fictional brief
Let production and quality trace a batch upstream or downstream, understand a hold, record a recheck, and preserve who made the release decision.

Working prototype

Try the operating idea, not just the screens.

Every control below changes local browser state. Use the navigation inside the product, complete the sample workflow, and reset it whenever you want to replay the story.

Use the reset control inside the application to return to the seed scenario.

01

Starting point

The records existed. The chain between them had to be reconstructed.

In this fictional operation, receiving lots, production sheets, quality checks, storage moves, and shipment lists lived in separate files and paper packets.

A hold could stop a pallet, but understanding every upstream ingredient and downstream allocation required several people and careful cross-checking.

02

Customer ask

Turn the batch ID into a complete, reviewable chain.

The modeled brief asks for fast two-direction trace, an explicit quality-hold state, a complete recheck record, and linked shipment allocation.

Release must stay a human decision with a reason, owner, and visible history; the interface must never imply certification by itself.

03

What we designed

A trace spine from ingredient lots through shipment allocation.

The selected batch becomes the spine of the workspace. Ingredient lots sit upstream, process steps and quality checks form the center, and shipment records show downstream exposure.

Recording the sample recheck changes the local hold state and linked shipment language together, demonstrating one record without making a food-safety claim.

Scene by scene

Every screen earns its place in the workflow.

  1. 01

    Batch register

    What you are seeing

    A searchable work list makes current hold and release state explicit.

    Problem solved

    Status was split between production paperwork and quality follow-up.

    Try this

    Search or select a fictional batch to update the complete trace workspace.

  2. 02

    Two-direction trace

    What you are seeing

    Ingredient lots, process steps, checks, storage, and shipments remain connected.

    Problem solved

    Teams had to manually reconstruct which records belonged to one batch.

    Try this

    Switch seed-to-shipment or shipment-to-seed and expand individual steps.

  3. 03

    Quality hold

    What you are seeing

    Reason, affected quantity, check result, owner, and permitted next actions stay together.

    Problem solved

    A hold label did not explain the evidence or the release path.

    Try this

    Record a passing recheck, then release the sample batch with confirmation.

  4. 04

    Shipment exposure

    What you are seeing

    Every linked allocation inherits the current batch disposition.

    Problem solved

    Downstream lists could lag behind a quality decision.

    Try this

    Watch linked shipment state change after the local release workflow.

What the concept connects

Cultivar

  • Upstream and downstream lot trace
  • Process and quality history in context
  • Human-owned hold and recheck workflow
  • Linked shipment disposition
Prototype boundary

All batches, suppliers, checks, quantities, and shipments are fictional. This concept does not certify safety, send a recall, control equipment, or persist a release.
