3 Essentials is a paperless traceability system which enables small to medium-sized food manufacturers to pro-actively manage their stock and production processes.
3 The Essentials system software and hardware allow you to automate your production processes and eliminate paper from your kitchen, together with the accurate weighing of ingredients to create consistent products.
In addition, the software modules and reports assist you to satisfy BRC, SALSA and retailer audit programmes, allowing mass balance reports to be produced with just a click of a button.
Following the success of the Stevens Dynamic Traceability System, which is used by large manufacturers across the UK, Essentials provides the same benefits of traceability and accurate weighing on a smaller scale, making it affordable to smaller food producers.
Stevens modular software allows you to build the system around current and future needs of your business, meaning you can add software features and scales to the system in the future as your business requirements grow.
Stevens systems have proven to reduce product giveaway, wastage and help organisations conform with traceability audits.
To provide traceability systems which can be implemented in stages, meeting customers needs and budgets.

Our Vision

Modularised SystemThe Essentials Traceability System is a modularised system meaning you can add software modules and additional hardware to the system if or when required.
“Not everyone wants or needs a full end-to-end traceability system or has the capital to invest in a system in one go. It’s, for this reason, we have created a modularised traceability system to give manufacturers the flexibility to improve their processes in stages, not having to invest in a full end-to-end system which they may not utilise initially.”
Mike Wynburg, Managing Director
“

Stock Essentials
Production Essentials
Quality Essentials
Stock Essentials can handle your day to day stock management. Goods can be receipted into the system and moved from one stock location to another. Stock levels can also be adjusted with Quality Assurance (QA) data.
As goods are received, Lot or batch information such as Purchase Order (PO) number, Supplier, Expiry date, Location and much more can be recorded, allowing product traceability from the start. Quality, Conformance and Allergen Control questions can also be recorded at this stage. Eradicating paperwork, double entry of data and possible operator errors.
With Production Essentials, recipes (Bill of Materials) are scheduled for the weighing terminal. Using lot numbers, Essentials ensures that all ingredients within the recipe are then weighed to set tolerances (+/-) for accuracy, consistency and cost management.
Once weighed, this information is captured back to the Stevens Traceability System and made available for reporting. With the addition of the Stock Essentials module, stock can be validated, ensuring expired stock is not consumed.
There are a number of Quality Assurance (QA) controls within the Stevens Essentials Traceability System, including:
3 Allergen Controls 3 Certificate of Conformity information 3 Goods In checks 3 Start-up routine checks 3 Product specification
You are in control of all the recipe details, ingredients, instructions etc and capturing of data throughout the process. The information can be reported against and recorded against batch and user.

“Stevens is an integral part of our manufacturing process with control over stock, raw materials, traceability, finished goods, and H&S mandatory checks. The overall design and user interface of the system is user-friendly, and without the support and knowledge of the Steven’s team working alongside us we would not have achieved all of the above and a paperless site.”
Tom Dignan, Project Manager, Paterson Arran
One of the major advantages of the Stevens Traceability system is just how user-friendly it is. Our staff are there to do a job and the easier we can make it for them to complete the tasks in hand, the happier the staff and the more productive they become. We have a diverse team made up of different nationalities and levels of IT know-how so training our staff needs to be quick and effective. With the Stevens Traceability system there are no issues whatsoever with training staff due to the large screens, simple interface and jargon-free instructions.
We’ve had a business relationship with Stevens Traceability for over 13 years and throughout this time the level of service has been first class. The team are extremely knowledgeable and work with us to ensure that the system grows as we grow, whilst adapting to changes in compliance criteria, technology and people.”

What our Customers Say
British Premium Meats
As an exporter we are audited annually by the BRC (British Retail Consortium) to BRC Food Technical Standards which is in place to evaluate manufacturers of food products and the suppliers they in turn use to provide the ingredients. We can’t export without passing the BRC audit as it’s seen as a pre-requisite for trading internationally. Without Stevens Traceability System we wouldn’t be exporting, and we certainly wouldn’t be supplying many of the brands we now work with. The system provides us with all the traceability information we need at the touch of a button, streamlining both the production and audit process.”
