Traceability that starts inside your own plant
If FoodLogiQ is on your shortlist, you are looking at supply chain traceability. Zelviq answers a different half of the same problem: the inventory, production and lot records inside your own four walls, where the genealogy is actually created. For current FoodLogiQ capabilities and pricing, see their site.
What Zelviq covers
Supplier portals record what arrived. Zelviq records what happened to it after that, which is where most traces break.
Inventory by lot, location and expiry
Real-time stock with FEFO and FIFO draw policies, quality holds, counts and transfers, rather than a separate system to reconcile against.
Production, not just documents
Work orders run from versioned recipes and BOMs, recording which ingredient lots were consumed and comparing actual yield with plan.
Genealogy built from your own entries
Because receiving, production and shipping all happen in Zelviq, the lot links exist without anyone uploading anything.
Mock recalls in seconds
Pick a suspect lot and see every downstream lot, customer and shipment, with a PDF report for the file.
Priced for small and mid-sized plants
Plans from $189 a month, flat per company rather than per user, with a 30-day free trial and no credit card.
Open integration
Two-way QuickBooks Online sync, connectors for Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Metrc and LeafLink, plus a REST API and outbound webhooks.
How to tell which one you need
You need supplier-side visibility
If the problem is collecting documents, audits and certifications from many suppliers across a network, a supply chain platform such as FoodLogiQ is built for that.
You need the plant record
If the problem is knowing which ingredient lots went into which batch, and which customers received them, that record has to come from your own inventory and production system. That is Zelviq.
You need both, eventually
Many manufacturers run a supplier platform because a retailer asked them to, and still keep lot genealogy on spreadsheets. Zelviq replaces the spreadsheets, and its REST API can feed whatever sits upstream.
Frequently asked
Is Zelviq a direct replacement for FoodLogiQ?+
Not always. They solve overlapping but different problems: supply chain and supplier compliance on one side, in-plant inventory, production and lot genealogy on the other. If your gap is knowing what happened inside your own plant, Zelviq is the closer fit.
What does Zelviq cost compared with enterprise traceability platforms?+
Zelviq is published pricing: $189, $399 and $999 a month, flat per company, with a 30-day free trial. Enterprise traceability platforms are usually quoted per site or per supplier, so compare on your own numbers rather than ours.
Can Zelviq produce the records a retailer asks for?+
Yes. Forward and backward trace reports, recall lists, lot balances and shipment records export to CSV and PDF, and the underlying data is available through the REST API.
How long does implementation take?+
The work is your master data: items, units of measure, recipes and locations. Most manufacturers start with one product line inside the 30-day trial and expand from there.
Who is Zelviq not for?+
Discrete assembly manufacturers, restaurants and retail food service, and pharmaceutical production needing a Part 11 validated system. Zelviq is built for batch manufacturers in food, beverage, supplements, cosmetics and chemicals.
Compare it against your own lot trace
Bring a recent batch and we will build the trace in Zelviq, so the comparison is your product rather than a demo dataset.
