Raw materials
When iRely receives raw material inventory, it captures critical traceability and regulatory information in addition to cost and quantities. You can be certain you are in compliance and are positioned to quickly respond in the event of recall or recall tests.
Know what you have on hand and where it is. Track raw materials and warehouse location using bar codes, resulting in less time spent locating inventory in the warehouse and greater inventory accuracy.

Finished goods
iRely automatically updates finished goods upon quality release, providing immediate access to sellable inventory. At the same time, iRely relieves raw material inventory giving you the confidence that you have the right materials on-hand to fulfill orders.
Track location of finished goods with bar codes, saving time locating goods, improving shipping accuracy, and reducing shrink. With iRely, you have complete visibility into the status of finished goods including quality holds and released product.
Work in process
Bring transparency to your WIP inventory. Do you have multiple batches in process at any time? Do you have chronologically long processes (such as fermentation or other age-dependent processes)? If so, then iRely is for you. iRely makes it easy to capture/view quality information by batch improving the consistency of quality. For those who have the ability to apply retrospective corrective action, iRely’s WIP visibility becomes even more valuable.
