Lot-level costing, food-safety controls, and shift payroll for makers

A food or beverage maker earns its margin in the details of cost. Ingredients are bought by lot, yield and shrink vary batch to batch, spoilage and short-dated product hit COGS, and net revenue is what survives retailer deductions and trade promotions. Fintra runs a dimensional, inventory-aware ledger so cost per lot, spoilage, and margin after trade are computed from the books rather than reconstructed in a spreadsheet.

Food safety is a documentation discipline. FDA FSMA requires preventive controls and records, HACCP requires monitoring of critical control points, USDA governs meat, poultry, and egg operations, and a customer audit under an SQF or GFSI-benchmarked scheme wants to see that the program actually runs. Fintra holds these as real frameworks and controls with explainable scoring, so the program is a living record rather than a binder pulled together the night before an audit.

• FDA FSMA preventive-controls obligations tracked as controls with evidence, owners, and review cadences
• HACCP plan structure with critical control points and monitoring records surfaced as control evidence
• USDA obligations for regulated categories represented as controls where applicable
• SQF and other GFSI-benchmarked schemes supported by mapping controls to the scheme in the control library
• OSHA general-industry safety controls for the plant floor, alongside food safety in one register
• FDA 21 CFR Part 11 style electronic-records controls available where your systems keep regulated records

A plant runs on shifts and on certifications. Food-handler and allergen training must be current, multi-shift payroll with differentials has to be right, and high turnover means constant onboarding and offboarding. Fintra keeps People and Payroll in the same system as the ledger, so a new hire reaches the next pay run without re-keying and an expired certification shows up as both an HR alert and a control finding.

• Food-handler, allergen, and GMP training tracked with expiry alerts, visible to schedulers and to compliance
• Multi-shift payroll with shift differentials on a verified integer-cents tax engine, posted straight to the GL
• Onboarding and offboarding built for high-turnover hourly teams, so pay is never late for a new line worker
• Workers-comp classification by plant role from the same employee records

Fintra brings lot costing, COGS and spoilage, the FSMA and HACCP posture, and shift payroll into one system where finance, food safety, and people share a data model. The production-grade parts are the inventory-aware ledger, COGS and spoilage handling, the payroll tax engine, and the explainable GRC engine.
