Case Study: Boreal Apothecary achieves reliable lot tracking and digital batch records with Craftybase

Boreal Apothecary replaces 10 years of binders with Craftybase

Boreal Apothecary, a handmade bath and body products business, faced significant challenges scaling its manual record-keeping systems. As the company grew, founder Amanda Nichols found that her methods of tracking ingredients, batches, and lot numbers using paper, Excel, and physical binders were becoming unmanageable and posed a serious risk for product recalls. She needed a robust, accessible system for recipe management and lot tracking that could handle her business's complexity, which led her to seek out a solution from vendor Craftybase.

Craftybase implemented its cloud-based inventory and manufacturing workflow software to digitally manage batch records, recipes, and lot numbers. This provided Boreal Apothecary with immediate, searchable access to all production data from anywhere, replacing unreliable binders and spreadsheets. The results included a massive gain in operational efficiency, with batch information found in seconds and tax reporting simplified. Most significantly, Craftybase provided the reliable, long-term system the business needed, as it has been trusted and in use for over nine years.
