Case Study

Tray ERP

Tray ERP is a food-first ERP IT-TECH built and productized: lot-level traceability, allergen control, QC, and audit-ready CFIA, FDA, GFSI, and HACCP reporting for food manufacturers. It grew out of IT-TECH's work for Aristo Cuisine.

Tray ERP is a food-first ERP that IT-TECH built and grew into a product of its own, for food operations that can't afford a recall.

Case Study: From Aristo Cuisine to a Product

Overview

Tray ERP started as the system IT-TECH built to run Aristo Cuisine's food production, inventory, and orders on one platform instead of scattered spreadsheets. It worked so well it became a product in its own right: a food-first ERP now offered to other food manufacturers, from artisan kitchens to co-manufacturers.

What Tray ERP Does

Built for operations that can't afford a recall, Tray ERP tracks every batch from receiving to delivery and keeps food makers audit-ready. Core capabilities include:

  • Lot-level traceability with fast recall lookups
  • Allergen control with automatic declarations
  • Recipe-driven bills of materials and order-to-production workflows
  • Receiving and QC, barcode-native on the production floor
  • Audit-ready reporting for CFIA, FDA, GFSI, and HACCP
  • Accounting exports to tools like QuickBooks Online and Sage 50

What IT-TECH Did

IT-TECH designed, built, and productized Tray ERP: the data model, the traceability engine, the production and QC workflows, the compliance reporting, and the platform it all runs on.
