Your Production Flow
Every batch. Every yield loss. Every missed dispatch.
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 & Procurement
4 stages
Production Order
Production schedule confirmed — product, batch size, pack format, and delivery date.
✓ Clicarity: Batch ID created, BOM assigned, materials planned automatically
Raw Material Procurement
Ingredients, packaging material, and consumables ordered or pulled from store.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: one ingredient short — entire production batch delayed
Incoming Inspection
Raw materials tested for quality, moisture, and specification compliance.
✓ Clicarity: Lot number and supplier recorded at every incoming stage
Material Issuance
Correct quantities issued to production floor per batch formula.
✓ Clicarity: Issued vs planned quantity tracked — deviation flagged instantly
02
Processing
5 stages
Weighing & Batching
Ingredients weighed precisely per batch formula before mixing.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: weighing error causes batch failure — entire batch scrapped
Mixing / Blending
Ingredients mixed or blended to specified parameters — time, speed, temperature.
✓ Clicarity: Mixing batch tracked with parameters and operator logged
Cooking / Processing
Batch cooked, processed, or treated per product specification.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: process parameter deviation — batch put on hold for testing
Cooling / Settling
Processed batch cooled or settled before next operation.
✓ Clicarity: Cooling timestamp logged — batch cannot proceed until stage complete
Intermediate QC
Batch samples tested for pH, moisture, viscosity, or key parameters.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: batch fails intermediate QC — rework or scrap decision needed
03
Filling & Packing
5 stages
Filling
Product filled into primary packaging — pouches, jars, bottles, or sachets.
✓ Clicarity: Fill quantity vs batch size tracked — yield calculated automatically
Sealing / Capping
Filled packs sealed, capped, or heat-sealed to specification.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: sealing machine settings off — leak failures at inspection
Coding / Date Printing
MFG date, expiry, and batch number printed on primary pack.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: wrong date printed on large batch — entire lot held
Labelling
Labels applied to primary packs with product details and barcode.
Secondary Packing
Primary packs packed into master cartons with quantity count.
✓ Clicarity: Packed quantity vs order quantity confirmed before dispatch
04
Quality & Compliance
3 stages
Final QC / Lab Testing
Samples sent to lab for microbiological, chemical, and sensory testing.
⚠ ⚠ Common delay: lab results delayed — dispatch held, customer delivery missed
Hold Management
Any batch placed on hold tracked with reason and resolution timeline.
✓ Clicarity: Hold status visible — batch cannot accidentally proceed to dispatch
Batch Record Completion
All production and QC records compiled and reviewed.
✓ Clicarity: Auto-generated batch record from all stage entries — minimal manual work
05
Dispatch & Delivery
3 stages
Warehouse / Cold Store
Finished batch stored at correct temperature pending dispatch.
✓ Clicarity: Storage entry timestamped, FIFO order visible at batch level
Order Picking
Customer orders picked from finished goods store per dispatch schedule.
Dispatch
Batch dispatched with challan, certificate of analysis, and lot details.
✓ Clicarity: Full batch history — from raw material to dispatch — preserved
Where Food Processors Lose Yield & Miss Delivery Dates
Real bottlenecks. Real costs. Real fixes.
These are the patterns Clicarity helps food processing businesses identify and fix within the first few weeks.
Yield Loss
Yield loss was 11% above standard — cause unknown for 3 months
A packaged food manufacturer tracked input quantity vs packed output at each processing stage. Yield was consistently 11% below standard, but the cause was unknown. Clicarity showed the loss was concentrated at the filling stage — fill weights were running 4% above nominal. Calibration fixed the issue. Yield improved by 9% within two weeks.
Yield improved 9% — filling calibration issue identified
Coding Error
Wrong expiry date printed on 12,000 units — found during distribution
A food processor found that a coding machine malfunction had printed the wrong expiry date on 12,000 units — discovered when a distributor called. The batch had already left the warehouse. With Clicarity, coding is a logged stage — the operator confirms date code before the batch proceeds. Wrong-code incidents: zero since implementation.
Wrong coding incidents eliminated — stage confirmation enforced
Material Gap
Production line stopped 22 times in one month — material not ready
Tracking material issuance against production schedules revealed 22 production stoppages in one month due to material not being issued on time. Stores was preparing materials reactively — after the line asked. With Clicarity, stores sees the production schedule and prepares one batch ahead. Stoppages from material gaps reduced to 2 in the following month.
Production stoppages reduced from 22 to 2 per month
Real Printing Business. Real Results.
""We used to calculate yield loss at the end of the week. By then, the batch causing the problem was long dispatched. Now we see yield deviation within the same shift — and we fix it before the next batch.""

Questions from food processing 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 bottleneck alerts 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 yield. While you can still act.
