Everything Entropia does — modular by design

Start with the bottleneck hurting now: warehouse, food safety, ERP, butchery, compliance, maintenance, or reporting. Add the rest on the same platform when needed.

N°02How it works

What is Entropia?

It connects ERP, floor execution, quality, compliance, and reporting in one operating system.

Receiving dock workflow with lots and expiry captured at intake01Dock intake

01

Your ERP stays

Sage 50, NetSuite, QuickBooks, or any of 15 supported systems. No rip-and-replace.

Entropia connects

Transactional outbox, traceability, quality, and device provisioning keep every client on the same operational truth.

PDA, desktop, web admin, TV display, labels, EDI, and reporting move from the same module base.

N°03Measured on the floor

The gains teams feel in the first weeks.

These are the numbers people repeat after receiving goes live, recall prep gets tested, and retailer onboarding stops being manual theatre.

Reduce receiving time in the first weeks

Less waiting at the dock, less re-entry, and more product available faster without replacing Sage.

Accelerate retail and EDI onboarding

You start from a retailer-ready operating base instead of rebuilding each flow by hand.

Find any lot in minutes, not hours

When a quality or recall question arrives, the team gets to the answer quickly and without chaos.

AdvantagesWhy teams switch

Advantages that hold up under real floor pressure.

The point is not a prettier admin panel. The point is one operating rhythm from ERP through dock, pick face, compliance, and reporting.

Built for Canada

Sage 50 Quantum Canada bridge, Quebec bilingual reality, CFIA traceability, and retailer-ready GS1/EDI flows.

ERP-agnostic

15 ERP connectors plus NoERP standalone mode. Switch ERP without rebuilding your warehouse, quality, or reporting layers.

Modular by design

Enable WMS, food, butchery, QMS, MES, MRO, projects, or platform capabilities per tenant. Pay for what you run.

One product across every surface

Android PDA, Windows desktop, web admin, TV display, and device agents all share the same operating truth.

Security by default

Credential encryption, RBAC, agent keys, provisioning tokens, quotas, and audit evidence are built into the platform.

Transactional execution layer

Transactional outbox, replay-safe writeback, and sync controls keep operations and finance aligned.

Cold chain and quality connected

Temperature sensors, lot rules, QMS holds, and traceability work together instead of across separate systems.

Operational reporting built in

Scheduled PDF, CSV, and HTML reports, exception workbenches, and TV display snapshots — no manual export routine.

SFCR Part 5Traceability obligations

Your real traceability obligations — handled

The Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR, Part 5) require every food business that trades interprovincially or imports to track product one step forward and one step back. Entropia turns that obligation into an operational advantage instead of a spreadsheet burden.

Obligation 01

Identify each product by common name, lot code, and manufacturer identity (SFCR s.90(1)(a)).

How Entropia handles it

Every receipt captures lot code, expiry, supplier, and product identity at the dock — scan-driven, not typed.

Obligation 02

Trace one step back: document who supplied each ingredient, their address, and the date received (SFCR s.90(1)(c)).

How Entropia handles it

Supplier identity, receipt date, and lot linkage are captured automatically on every inbound movement and retained per lot.

Obligation 03

Trace one step forward: document who received the product, their address, and the date provided (SFCR s.90(1)(b)).

How Entropia handles it

Every shipment records customer identity, destination, date, and lot composition — searchable from any lot in seconds.

Obligation 04

Record the CFIA licence number of each supplier in your traceability documents.

How Entropia handles it

Supplier records carry CFIA licence numbers and are included automatically in SFCR exports — no manual lookup at filing time.

Obligation 05

Retain all traceability documents for two years, accessible in Canada (SFCR s.90(3)).

How Entropia handles it

Every lot movement, status change, and shipment is retained with full audit history — no manual archive to maintain.

Obligation 06

Produce traceability documents on demand when the CFIA requests them (SFCR s.91).

How Entropia handles it

Generate CFIA-ready XML and PDF summaries from any lot in one action — structured for electronic submission, readable for your own review.

Prove it before the inspector asks

Run a mock recall drill on any lot and get the full impact picture — affected customers, shipments, quantities, and duration — in minutes, not hours. Every drill is logged with audit evidence so you can show the CFIA you rehearse, not just promise.

Recall alerts that act, not just notify

When the CFIA publishes a recall or safety alert, Entropia cross-references it against your stock automatically. Exact matches on Class I and II recalls block affected lots from shipping immediately. Probable matches land in a review queue so your team decides with context, not panic.

Two-year retention, always accessible

SFCR requires traceability documents kept for two years and accessible in Canada. Entropia retains every lot movement, receipt, shipment, and status change with full audit history — no manual archive, no gaps when an inspector comes knocking.

CFIA-ready exports in one click

Generate SFCR traceability and recall XML payloads with supplier CFIA licence numbers, lot codes, shipment records, and customer exposure — structured for CFIA electronic submission, with a human-readable PDF summary for your own review before you file.

Also ready for US-bound shipments

If you export to the United States, FSMA 204 requires supplier-lot traceability with rapid recall capability. Entropia tracks distributor lot codes and vendor linkages so the same data foundation serves both Canadian and US compliance without a second system.

Professional servicesCustom builds & integration

Special requests and ERP integrations — built by the team that built the platform

When your operation needs something beyond the standard modules, the same engineers who built Entropia handle the customization. No third-party consultants, no relay, no black box handed off to someone who has never seen the codebase.

Custom ERP connector development

Entropia ships with 15 connectors out of the box. If your ERP is not on that list, or if your existing connector needs custom field mappings, posting rules, or reconciliation logic, our team builds and certifies it against your real environment — with simulation and shadow modes for safe go-live.

  • New connector for any ERP with an API or file exchange
  • Custom field mappings and posting rules
  • Simulation and shadow mode validation before cutover

Custom reports and label templates

Beyond the 35+ built-in reports and 20+ label presets, we design custom reports with your columns, filters, grouping, and aggregates — and custom ZPL/PDF label templates that match your retailer or internal format exactly.

  • Custom report definitions with your columns and logic
  • Custom ZPL and PDF label templates for any format
  • Retailer-specific label compliance (Walmart, Loblaws, Metro, Sobeys)

Business rule and workflow configuration

Over 25 operational policy knobs control receiving tolerance, FEFO enforcement, quality hold behavior, count variance, alert cadence, and more. We configure these to match your real operating discipline — not the other way around.

  • Receiving, quality, and picking rule configuration
  • Per-supplier tolerance and compliance overrides
  • Custom policy extensions for unique operational constraints

Data migration and ERP cutover

We migrate your products, customers, vendors, purchase orders, sales orders, invoices, and inventory quantities from Sage 50 or any ERP into Entropia with batch staging, validation, and reconciliation — then run shadow mode until you are confident the numbers match.

  • Batch import with staging and validation
  • Quantity reconciliation against ERP source of truth
  • Shadow mode cutover with parallel validation

Webhooks, notifications, and third-party integration

We configure outbound webhooks for your downstream systems, custom notification providers for SMS or push, and integration bridges to scales, printers, scanners, or IoT gateways that need specific handling.

  • Webhook configuration for downstream systems
  • Custom notification provider development
  • Hardware integration: scales, printers, scanners, IoT gateways
