When a batch tests low, can you find the herb lot it came from?
Whether a low batch can be traced to its herb lot. How long batches wait for release rather than for testing. How fast you could produce records for an inspection.
One manufacturer had nineteen out-of-specification batches in a quarter that could not be traced to any incoming lot at all.
One manufacturer had twenty-five batches fail potency in a quarter. Six of them could not be traced to any cause at all.
Ayurveda and nutraceutical units — batch traceability live

Three manufacturers. Each one tested the herbs and lost the link to the batch.
01 Herbs that were never the same twice
Raw herbs vary by season, source and lot. Potency varies with them, and so does the finished product.
Incoming material is checked. The result is rarely tied to the batch it went into, so when a finished batch tests low there is no way back to the herb lot that caused it.

02 The batch that waited for release
Products are made and then wait for testing and release. The testing takes hours.
The waiting to be tested takes days, because the queue is managed by whoever asks rather than by how long each batch has stood.

03 AYUSH compliance, produced on demand
Licensing, batch records, stability data and label approvals all exist. They are produced when an inspector asks.
Producing them means going to a cupboard and a laptop and a person, and the gap between having compliance and being able to show it is where findings come from.

Every record is created at the step that produces it, so an inspection is a filter rather than a hunt.

Your Production Flow
Every batch. Every herb lot. Every yield accounted for.
This is how a print job moves through your business. Clicarity gives you live visibility at every phase — and flags delays before they become client calls.
01
Planning & Raw Material
4 stages
Production Order
Batch planned — product, formulation, batch size, pack format, delivery date.
✓ Clicarity: Batch ID created, formulation linked, raw materials planned
Herb / Raw Material Procurement
Herbs, extracts, excipients, and active ingredients procured from approved vendors.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: herb quality variation lot to lot — only discovered at QC
Incoming QC
Every herb lot tested for identity, moisture, heavy metals, and microbial load.
✓ Clicarity: Herb lot number and supplier logged — every batch traceable to source
Material Dispensing
Correct herbs and quantities dispensed per formulation.
✓ Clicarity: Dispensed quantity vs formulation tracked — deviation flagged
02
Processing
5 stages
Cleaning / Sorting
Herbs cleaned, sorted, and foreign matter removed.
Drying / Powdering
Herbs dried to required moisture and powdered to specified mesh size.
✓ Clicarity: Input weight vs output weight — drying loss tracked per lot
Extraction
Active constituents extracted using water, alcohol, or other approved solvents.
✓ Clicarity: Extraction yield tracked — yield below standard flags for investigation
Concentration / Evaporation
Extract concentrated to required specific gravity or dry weight.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: evaporation rate inconsistency — batch takes longer than planned
In-Process QC
Intermediate extract tested for assay, specific gravity, and microbial load.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: in-process QC fails — batch put on hold, production stops
03
Formulation & Filling
5 stages
Blending
Extracts and excipients blended per formulation to required homogeneity.
✓ Clicarity: Blending batch tracked — each ingredient lot number logged
Granulation / Drying
Blend granulated and dried for tablet or capsule filling.
Tablet Compression / Capsule Filling
Tablets compressed or capsules filled to required weight and hardness.
✓ Clicarity: Unit count vs batch size tracked — rejection rate per run logged
Coating
Tablets film-coated or sugar-coated for palatability or protection.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: coating defects — entire tablet batch requires re-coating
In-Process QC — Dosage Form
Tablet hardness, disintegration, dissolution, and capsule fill weight checked.
✓ Clicarity: IPC results logged — batch on hold automatically if out of spec
04
Packaging & QC Release
4 stages
Primary Packing
Tablets or capsules packed in blister, strip, or bottle as per product.
✓ Clicarity: Packed unit count vs batch size tracked — yield calculated automatically
Secondary Packing
Primary packs labelled and packed into cartons with batch details and expiry.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: label error — wrong batch number or expiry, entire lot relabelled
Final QC & Lab Release
Finished product tested for identity, assay, and microbiological limits.
✓ Clicarity: Release status live — batch cannot dispatch without QC clearance
Batch Record Review
Complete batch manufacturing record reviewed and approved by QA.
✓ Clicarity: Full traceability — every herb lot, every stage, every result recorded
05
Dispatch & Distribution
2 stages
Dispatch
Released batch dispatched with CoA, challan, and batch release certificate.
✓ Clicarity: Dispatch logged — lot traceable from source herb to customer delivery
Distribution Record
Batch distribution tracked for recall management if required.
✓ Clicarity: Complete distribution record — which lots went to which customers
Real Printing Business. Real Results.
""In Ayurveda, the raw material quality directly affects the finished product. We were accepting herb lots without a proper incoming QC stage — just testing the first one and assuming the rest were the same. Clicarity showed us how many lots we were passing without checking.""

Questions from ayurveda businesses
How does Clicarity work for a printing business specifically?
Clicarity is configured around your specific print workflow — pre-press, printing, finishing, dispatch — in your terminology. Every job gets a unique ID and moves through your defined stages. You see live status, timestamps, and alerts when a job sits too long at every stage. The Clicarity team builds everything for you. You go live in 5 days.
Does it work for both offset and digital printing?
Yes. Clicarity works for any print process — offset, digital, wide format, screen printing, or a combination. The stages are configured around your actual workflow. If offset jobs go through plate making and digital jobs skip that stage, both can be tracked correctly under the same system.
Can it track material wastage at each stage?
Yes — with the Multi Licence. At every stage, your team logs quantity in and quantity out. Clicarity calculates the loss automatically. You see wastage by stage, by job, live — not at month-end when nothing can be done about it.
Will my press operators actually use it?
Yes. The update screen has two fields — Job ID and status. Under a minute. No training needed. GP Offset's entire team was using it from day one, including floor workers who had never used a software system before.
See every batch. Every herb lot. Every stage — live.
