Operator questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from food manufacturers about Forkto.
Can Forkto replace our spreadsheets and manual tracking?
Yes. Forkto digitises your entire production chain — ingredient intake, stock tracking, recipe management, batch production, and labelling. Everything that's currently in spreadsheets, paper logs, or people's heads moves into one connected system with full traceability.
How does production traceability work?
When you produce a batch from a recipe, Forkto records exactly which stock bookings were used for each ingredient. The Product Trace report shows the complete chain — every ingredient, its supplier, origin, weight, and dates — linked back to the finished product. Pull it up in seconds for any auditor or buyer.
How does stock tracking work across different ingredient types?
Forkto tracks ingredients by weight and packaging by quantity. When deliveries arrive, you book them in with supplier details, weight/quantity, use-by dates, and quality checks. Stock levels update in real time as you produce batches. You can view stock by type — ingredients, packaging, deliveries, and finished products.
Does it generate compliant product labels?
Yes. When you produce a batch from a recipe, Forkto generates labels with the product name, full ingredients list with percentages, allergens emphasised in bold, batch ID, barcode, production date, expiry date, and storage information. Supports both individual product labels and box labels.
How does Forkto compare to food manufacturing ERP systems?
Forkto covers the core operations most food manufacturers need — intake, stock, recipes, production, labelling, traceability, and compliance — at a fraction of the cost. If you're currently using spreadsheets or you're paying for an ERP you only use a small part of, Forkto is likely a better fit. No long implementation, no consultants, no six-figure licence fees.
Can I manage allergens across all my products?
Yes. Forkto tracks all 14 major allergens. You can manage an allergen matrix for your full product range, specify which cereals contain gluten and which tree nuts are present, and export a PDF allergen matrix for display or audits.
