Lot traceabilityrecall in minutes, not weeks.
V5 captures the lot link at every point of consumption, so the trace is a query — not a war room.
Supplier flags Flour lot F-4471. V5 walks the tree up — the dough it built, the SKUs it became, the customers that got it. Pull the lever to see the blast zone.
Pull any thread.Walk every direction in time.
Most traceability tools answer "where did this lot come from." V5 answers "where did this lot come from, what else was made with its siblings, what's still on the shelf, which customers received it, and what would happen if we recalled it." One query. One graph.
Recall scope, end-to-end, in ~14 seconds.
FSMA gives you 24 hours to produce traceability data on request. V5 produces it before the kettle boils — because the graph is live, not assembled at query time.

One lot. Every ancestor. Every descendant.
Each event is the previous event's witness.
Trace events are linked into a Merkle-style chain. Editing one event invalidates every event that came after it. An auditor doesn't have to trust V5's word — they re-compute the chain.
One click notifies everyone who needs to know.
Templated per region, signed PDF attached, replies routed back to QA inbox.
Ops, QA, Sales, Customer Success, Legal — each gets the slice that's actionable to them.
Pre-formatted 1-page incident report attached. Submission tracking number returned.
A recall is a query, not a project.
Curious how V5 actually walks a recall in minutes?
Where AI actually earns its place.
The trace is already a query in V5; AI's job is to turn that query's output into the recall notice and impact summary a team needs in the first minutes of an event.
- 01
Recall scope drafted from the trace
Run a backward or forward trace on a lot and AI drafts the affected-customer list and shipment summary from the returned WOs and ship-events, ready for a human to verify and issue.
Turns a multi-hour war room into a query plus a review.
- 02
FSMA 204 export narrative
When a CTE/KDE export is pulled, AI drafts the covering summary explaining which critical tracking events are included and any gaps in captured key data elements, for the compliance lead to check before submission.
- 03
Root-lot correlation across trace results
Where a trace returns multiple affected WOs, AI highlights what they have in common — same equipment, same shift, same secondary ingredient — as a starting point for investigation.
AI never issues a recall notice, notifies a customer, or files a regulatory export on its own. It drafts the scope and narrative from the trace data; a person reviews and sends every notice and every submission.
One genealogy graph — every system writes the lot link at source.
No nightly reconciliation across WMS, MES, ERP, lab, and shipping. Every consumption event writes into the same genealogy graph — backward and forward trace become a graph walk in seconds.
Wondering how traceability plugs into the rest of your stack?
Just ask V5 — it knows the product cold.
Pick a question or type your own. V5 answers grounded in how lot traceability — vendor → wo → finished lot → customer | v5 ultimate actually behaves on the floor.
The rest of the platform this plugs into.
V5 isn't a bolt-on. Every module shares the same data, the same audit trail, the same operator. Pick where to look next.
MES
Operator-led execution: scan-gated dispense, step-by-step kiosk, equipment + scale integration, live yield. Built for regulated process & discrete manufacturing.
WMS
Receiving, putaway, transfers, cycle counts, picks, pack & ship — all lot-aware, bin-accurate, FEFO/FIFO-enforced and barcode-driven.
QMS
Built-in QMS: deviations, CAPA, supplier scorecards, in-process AQL, release-by-exception. Aligned with 21 CFR 211/820, ISO 13485 and 111.
