Manufacturing-Specific Features

Frostbyte Pro is not a generic inventory tool with manufacturing bolted on. These features are built specifically for the complexities of manufacturing operations.

Bill of Materials (BOM) Management

Define multi-level bills of materials that map your raw materials, sub-assemblies, and packaging to finished products. Frostbyte Pro supports nested BOMs so you can model complex product structures. When you create a production order, the system automatically calculates raw material requirements and checks stock availability before you start.

Production Order Management

Create, schedule, and track production orders from start to finish. Assign raw materials, track in-progress manufacturing, and receive finished goods into inventory when production is complete. Production orders automatically consume raw materials and update stock levels across your warehouses, so no manual adjustments are needed.

Batch Tracking & Traceability

Assign batch numbers to raw materials upon receipt and track them through every stage of production to the finished product. Frostbyte Pro maintains a complete audit trail so you can trace any finished product back to its source ingredients and batches. Essential for MPI compliance, product recalls, and quality investigations.

Quality Control & Inspections

Build quality checkpoints into your production workflow. Define inspection criteria for incoming raw materials and outgoing finished goods. Record pass/fail results, attach notes, and quarantine stock that does not meet specifications. Quality data is linked to batch numbers for full traceability.

Multi-Level Assemblies

Model complex manufacturing processes with multi-level BOMs and sub-assemblies. If your finished product contains components that are themselves manufactured from raw materials, Frostbyte Pro handles the entire hierarchy. Plan production across multiple stages and track work-in-progress at every level.

Wastage & Scrap Tracking

Track material wastage, scrap, and giveaway at every stage of production. Frostbyte Pro records how much raw material was consumed versus the expected yield, so you can identify inefficiencies, reduce waste, and improve your production processes. Wastage data feeds directly into your cost reporting.

Solve Common Manufacturing Challenges

Manufacturing inventory management comes with unique challenges. Here is how Frostbyte Pro addresses the problems NZ manufacturers face every day.

Raw Material Shortages

The Problem

Running out of a critical ingredient mid-production is expensive. It halts your production line, delays customer orders, and forces expensive rush orders from suppliers.

How Frostbyte Pro Helps

Frostbyte Pro tracks raw material stock levels in real time and alerts you when stock falls below reorder points. When you create a production order, the system checks whether you have enough materials before you start, so you never begin a production run you cannot finish.

Production Scheduling Chaos

The Problem

Without a clear view of what needs to be produced, when, and what materials are available, production scheduling becomes guesswork. Jobs clash, materials are double-allocated, and deadlines slip.

How Frostbyte Pro Helps

Frostbyte Pro gives you a clear view of all open production orders, their status, and material availability. Allocate raw materials to specific production runs and track progress from start to finish. You always know what is being produced, what is waiting, and what is ready to ship.

Batch Traceability for Audits

The Problem

When MPI or a customer asks you to trace a product back to its source ingredients, you need to produce that information quickly. Paper records and spreadsheets make this painful and error-prone.

How Frostbyte Pro Helps

Every movement in Frostbyte Pro is recorded with batch numbers, timestamps, and user IDs. Trace a finished product back through production to the raw material batches used. Generate traceability reports in seconds, not hours. Be audit-ready at all times.

Expiry Management Across Production

The Problem

For food, beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturers, managing expiry dates across raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods is a critical operational challenge.

How Frostbyte Pro Helps

Frostbyte Pro tracks expiry dates at every stage, from raw material receipt through production to finished goods. FEFO allocation ensures your oldest raw materials are consumed first. Expiry alerts warn you before products reach their use-by date, reducing write-offs and waste.

MPI Compliance Requirements

The Problem

New Zealand food and beverage manufacturers must meet Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) traceability and food safety requirements. Non-compliance puts your business at serious risk.

How Frostbyte Pro Helps

Frostbyte Pro provides the batch tracking, quality inspection, recall management, and audit trail capabilities that MPI compliance demands. Every product movement is recorded and traceable. Generate compliance reports on demand and demonstrate your traceability systems during audits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about manufacturing inventory management and how Frostbyte Pro supports NZ manufacturers.

What inventory management features does Frostbyte Pro offer for manufacturers?

Frostbyte Pro offers a comprehensive set of manufacturing inventory features including Bill of Materials (BOM) management with multi-level support, production order creation and tracking, raw material consumption tracking, finished goods output, batch number assignment and traceability, quality inspections, wastage and scrap tracking, FEFO allocation for perishable materials, and integration with Xero for cost and financial reporting. All core inventory features are included in the standard $89.95 NZD per user per month pricing. LineConnect+ for real-time production line monitoring is an additional module, so contact us for pricing.

Can Frostbyte Pro handle multi-level BOMs for complex manufacturing?

Yes. Frostbyte Pro supports multi-level bills of materials, which means you can define sub-assemblies that are themselves made up of raw materials or other sub-assemblies. This is essential for manufacturers with complex product structures. When you create a production order for a finished product, the system calculates the total raw material requirements across all BOM levels and checks availability before production begins.

Does Frostbyte Pro meet MPI traceability requirements for food manufacturers?

Frostbyte Pro provides the traceability tools that New Zealand food and beverage manufacturers need to meet MPI requirements. This includes batch number tracking from raw material receipt through production to finished goods, quality inspection records, recall management by batch number, full audit trail of all stock movements, and the ability to generate traceability reports on demand. While compliance ultimately depends on how you use the system, Frostbyte Pro gives you the tools to build and maintain a robust traceability programme.

How does production order management work in Frostbyte Pro?

Production orders in Frostbyte Pro follow a simple workflow: create a production order by selecting the finished product and quantity, the system calculates raw material requirements from the BOM and checks stock availability, you allocate and consume raw materials as production begins, and when production is complete you receive the finished goods into inventory. The system tracks the status of each production order (draft, in progress, completed) and maintains a full record of materials consumed, quantities produced, and any wastage.

Can Frostbyte Pro track wastage and production yields?

Yes. Frostbyte Pro tracks the difference between expected output (based on the BOM) and actual output for every production order. This gives you visibility into wastage, scrap, and giveaway at a per-product and per-batch level. Over time, this data helps you identify inefficiencies in your production processes, adjust your BOMs to reflect actual yields, and reduce material waste, directly improving your margins.

What is LineConnect+ and how does it help manufacturers?

LineConnect+ is Frostbyte Pro's production line monitoring module, currently available in beta. It connects directly to your PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) equipment via OPC-UA and feeds real-time production data into your inventory system. This includes OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) dashboards, machine state tracking, automated production counting, and alarm management. LineConnect+ bridges the gap between your factory floor and your inventory system by automating data that is currently entered manually. It is an additional module with separate pricing, not included in the base $89.95 NZD per user per month plan.
