Find any batch
Every product belongs to a client and lists its own batches, so which batches of a product you made for which client is one screen. Search by batch code from anywhere.
For small-batch food manufacturers and co-packers
Every batch on record, and easy to find.
Batcher records each batch as you make it — the product and client, the date and batch code, what it was packed into, and the QC readings taken on the floor. When a client asks what you made for them in March, the answer is a search, not a binder.
Free for one client, forever. No card, no sales call.
The question you cannot answer from a binder
A client emails on a Friday afternoon. Which batches of their chili oil did you make this year? When, under which batch codes, and how many jars of each? What was the pH on the one from the second week of June?
If that lives in a binder on the floor and a spreadsheet on somebody's laptop, the answer takes an afternoon and ends with we think so.
Batcher keeps each batch as one record, written while the work happens.
- The client and the product
- The date and the batch code
- The recipe version it was made from
- What it was packed into, and how many
- QC readings, initialled
QC on the record
pH before and after, hot-fill temperature, cook-to-temperature, lid check and ingredient check, with the initials of whoever ran the batch.
Records that stay true
Publishing a recipe freezes it. Changing it creates a new version. A batch started from a recipe records the version it was made from, and a batch can be locked against further edits.
Batcher keeps your batch records. It does not file with the FDA on your behalf or certify your facility — it means that when an auditor or a client asks, the answer is in one place and takes minutes.
What you get
Batch records
Log a batch with its date, batch code, packaging counts and QC readings. Start one from a recipe and it carries the recipe version. Timestamped, initialled, and searchable afterwards.
Versioned recipes
Draft, publish, archive. Steps, photos, temperatures, SOPs and certificates live with the version they belong to, so an audit trail is a by-product of ordinary work rather than a separate chore.
One ingredient catalogue
Suppliers, pack sizes and units in one place, shared across every client and product.
Costing that survives a price rise
Unit conversion, multiple suppliers per ingredient, price history, yield loss and nested sub-recipes. See what a batch actually cost and what margin your quoted price leaves.
Spec and prep sheets
Print the prep sheet the floor works from and the spec sheet a client asks for. Import your existing ingredient list from CSV, and export the catalogue and your recipes back out.
Built co-packer shaped
Clients own products, and products own their recipes and batches. Add a seat for each person on the floor, with owner, admin and member roles. Archive a client without losing a single record.
Pricing
Priced on clients, products and seats — never on batches. Charging per batch record would be asking you to keep fewer of them.

Questions
Does Batcher make me FDA compliant?
No software can do that on its own. What Batcher does is keep your batch records in one place — which product, for which client, on what date, under what batch code, packed into what and with which QC readings — so that producing them is a search rather than an archaeology project. Filing, inspection and certification remain yours.
Is there a limit on how many batches I can record?
No, on any plan, including Free. Metering batch records would be asking you to keep worse ones. The plans differ on clients, products, seats and features instead.
What happens to my data if I stop paying?
Nothing is deleted and nothing is locked away. Every record stays readable and editable, and you can still record batches. You simply cannot create new clients or products beyond the free limits until you subscribe again — and resubscribing restores everything as it was.
Can I bring in what I already have?
Yes, on Craft and Commercial. Ingredient catalogues import from CSV, and the catalogue and each recipe export back to CSV.
Why charge on clients rather than volume?
A client is a brand you produce for, and taking on another one is how a co-packer grows — so it tracks the size of your business far better than pounds or units do. If you only make your own products, you are a single client, which is the Free tier.
Will it work on a tablet on the production floor?
Yes. Batcher runs in the browser on desktop, tablet and phone, and the layout adapts to the screen. There is nothing to install and nothing to keep updated.
Can I change plans later?
Any time, in either direction, from Settings inside the app. Annual billing saves two months against monthly.
Start with one client, free.
Set up an organization, add a recipe, record your first batch. If it saves you the next afternoon spent digging through binders, it has paid for itself.
