GroovePacker’s FSMA Compliance Features

Seamless Integration of Barcode Scanning

GroovePacker integrates barcode scanning directly into the shipping workflow, acting as a quality control checkpoint. This integration allows for the verification of each product against the order, effectively preventing mis-ships and ensuring accuracy in fulfillment[5].

Advanced Lot and Batch Number Tracking

GroovePacker offers two methods for tracking lot and batch numbers, crucial for FSMA compliance:

1. Two-Scan Method: This involves scanning the product barcode first, followed by a separate scan of the lot/batch number barcode. GroovePacker verifies both scans, ensuring accuracy in product identification and lot tracking.
2. Single-Scan Method: Using a special barcode that combines both product and lot information, GroovePacker can capture all necessary data in one scan. This method is particularly efficient for high-volume operations.

GS1-128 Barcode Support

GroovePacker has support for GS1-128 barcodes, which have become the industry standard for FSMA compliance.  In addition to several common combinations the system can be customized to understand any GS1-128 format, ensuring compatibility with different supply chain partners[1].

Comprehensive Date Tracking

Beyond lot numbers, GroovePacker can track manufacture, best buy and expiration dates. This feature is crucial for compliance with FSMA regulations regarding product lifecycle management[3].

The GroovePacker Advantage in FSMA Compliance

Unparalleled Accuracy

By using GroovePacker to check lot number barcodes, companies can know exactly which lot numbers are shipped to each customer. This level of precision goes beyond inventory based solutions and is invaluable for targeted recalls and true order level traceability[5].

The export provides a searchable record of every lot/batch number scanned, along with all order information, crucial for quick action in case of a recall[7].
