Shrink Manager is the execution layer for institutional fresh food production. Receiving, transformation, cooling and shipping are captured on the floor, by the operator doing the work, at the moment it happens - so FSMA 204 traceability records and same-day shrink visibility come out of the work rather than being written up afterward. It works alongside your existing ERP rather than replacing it.
