Lawson M3 Graphical Lot Tracker to help support supply chain quality and safety and enhance brand reputation.

London, UK, May 23, 2011 – Lawson Software today announced the general availability of Lawson M3 Graphical Lot Tracker, a pre-configured supply chain traceability solution. Designed for rapid implementation and ease of use, the new solution can help food & beverage companies gain greater control over food supply chain safety and quality and help them address compliance and traceability regulations introduced by U.S. and European regulatory agencies. The new product is generally available today.

Lawson M3 Graphical Lot Tracker is an enhanced version of the previous Lawson M3 Trace Engine. It helps improve supply chain visibility and helps food & beverage producers track production processes from raw materials, through production, and to the point of sale. It can also help companies manage potential product recalls, which can ultimately help protect their brands during a crisis.  Designed primarily for the food and beverages industry, Lawson M3 Graphical Lot Tracker can also be used in manufacturing and fashion environments where companies need to track and trace the links between different lots in their various supply chains.

This latest offering from Lawson includes powerful search capabilities to help companies quickly trace backwards to identify potentially tainted raw material lots – or forward to determine the potential scope of product or safety issues. Customer recall lists can be generated to identify affected end-products. In addition, “lots in stock” reports identify products remaining inside an organization’s supply chain with the option to stop the product lots from further delivery. A grouped search function makes it possible to search multiple and combined product lots at the same time, which can be helpful when processing a large number of lots or conducting root cause analysis.

To assist with crisis planning, Lawson M3 Graphical Lot Tracker allows companies to create ‘what if’ scenarios, so they can simulate, test and audit likely scenarios before they happen. This dry run capability can help companies identify inefficiencies and gaps in their processes and helps prepare them for real-life situations before it’s too late.

In addition to supporting reactive recalls, Lawson M3 Graphical Lot Tracker can help companies streamline audits by providing proof of safety procedures, product quality, and sourcing strategies.  An intuitive web-based user interface helps simplify use for internal and external parties.  Regulators and key-customers can have online access to traceability data, which can help build trust and confidence in a company’s products and brand.

“Food companies and consumers alike are much more aware of product safety issues today, which is driving greater need for  traceability and product safety capabilities in the production and distribution of products,” said Patrik Sjöberg, director of product management at Lawson. “Traceability, transparency and trust are critical for companies to retain their market position and protect their reputation. In the age of globalization, goods are moving quickly across borders and through complex supply chains, so traceability are getting more challenging. Lawson M3 Graphical Lot Tracker provides enhanced capabilities that can go beyond simple tracking and tracing, ultimately helping our customers focus on product quality and brand protection.”
