Case Study: Harvest Valley Bakery achieves rapid lot traceability and recall readiness with Acctivate

Harvest Valley Bakery - Customer Case Study

Harvest Valley Bakery, a 20-person wholesale private‑label cookie and bar manufacturer in LaSalle, Illinois, struggled with lot-number tracking and batch variability that their previous software couldn’t handle. They needed a system that integrated with QuickBooks and could manage variable recipes, multiple lots per ingredient, and traceability to avoid costly recall risks — so they turned to Acctivate for inventory, batch processing and Track & Trace capabilities.

Acctivate delivered real‑time batch processing and Traceability/Track & Trace features that let Harvest Valley change components without altering master recipes, capture multiple lots per ingredient, and generate consolidated recall reports. The result: Harvest Valley can pull complete lot histories in about 30 seconds during a mock recall, has eliminated frequent lot‑code transposition errors, improved end‑to‑end traceability of raw and finished goods, and saved significant time and money.
