Fresh produce
Perishables move fast. Track lots and handoffs so nothing 'disappears' between field and cooler.
Perishable product does not wait for a tidy data entry session. Lots move from the row to the cooler while people are still in the field. Khet is meant to catch the handoff, including the one that used to live in a text message.
On this kind of farm
- 01Lot traceability from field to cooler
- 02Perishable inventory and shelf-life alerts
- 03Harvest labor and piece-rate tracking
- 04Customer orders tied to daily picks
In practice
Field to cooler, the same day
The lot has to exist before the truck is loaded. Khet is the place that lot gets a name.
- 01
Pick against today's orders
Customer cutoffs are visible while the crew is still in the row. You pick what you can actually ship.
- 02
Name the lot at the row
Block, time, and weight. The cooler receives that lot, not a verbal 'the morning berries'.
- 03
Watch the clock in the cooler
Shelf-life is a date on the lot. What is about to turn is a list, not a surprise at packing.
- 04
Pay the crew from the same pick
Piece-rate hours or units sit on the job. Payroll is not a second guess at what was picked.
Details
Perishable, so the record has to be fast
Lot traceability
From the row to the cooler to the customer. If someone asks which block, you can say.
Cooler inventory
What is in, what is packed, what is still on the floor. QC flags stay on the lot.
Orders and cutoffs
Daily orders tied to what you can pick today. Overselling the morning run gets harder.
Labor on the pick
Piece rate and crew time recorded with the harvest, not reconstructed on Friday.
Questions
What people ask before they book
We move product the same day. Is data entry going to slow the crew?
The field step is a short close on the phone: lot, weight, done. The office detail can follow. The lot still exists.
Berries and greens on one farm?
Yes. Separate blocks and shelf-life rules. One set of orders and one cooler view.
Can a buyer get a trace record?
You can export the lot path. You are not rebuilding it from texts the night before an audit.
