CASE STUDY

Harvest Intake Ticketing
and Lot Traceability

Camvia replaced a manual harvest intake process with a controlled barcode ticketing workflow built for Business Central.

Python + Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
IMPLEMENTED SOLUTION Harvest Intake Application
Operational

Barcode Lot Traceability

Every intake is tied to a unique lot and barcode for reliable operational traceability.

Controlled Operator Workflow

Role-based access and validation rules help operators enter complete and consistent intake information.

Business Central Ready Records

Clean, standardized intake records are prepared for ERP import and downstream reporting.

THE OPERATIONAL CHALLENGE

From Manual Intake
to a Controlled Workflow

Harvest intake depended on manual setup, repeated data entry, and operator experience. Camvia replaced that process with a guided system designed to standardize intake, improve traceability, and prepare cleaner records for Business Central.

BEFORE

The Challenge

The intake process required too much manual control during a high-volume operational period.

01

Lot and ticket setup depended on manual entry and operator knowledge.

02

Repetitive entry created opportunities for inconsistent or incomplete data.

03

Traceability depended on correctly creating and maintaining lot information.

04

Peak harvest volume increased the need for a faster, more controlled intake process.

SYSTEMIZED
AFTER

What Camvia Built

A controlled intake application that guides operators through each step and standardizes the resulting data.

01

Guided data entry with validation rules for more complete and consistent records.

02

Automatic lot and barcode generation for reliable traceability.

03

Zebra label printing built directly into the intake workflow.

04

Role-based controls and standardized export records prepared for Business Central.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

A Controlled Intake Process
from Entry to ERP

The application guides operators through each stage of harvest intake, standardizes the information being captured, generates traceable lot records, and prepares clean data for Business Central.

01
ACCESS CONTROL

Operator Login

Role-based access controls the operator experience and limits available functions based on user responsibility.

02
DATA ENTRY

Intake Entry

Operators enter harvest intake details through a structured workflow designed around the information required by the business.

03
VALIDATION

Data Validation

Required fields and validation rules help prevent incomplete, inconsistent, or incorrectly formatted intake records.

04
TRACEABILITY

Lot + Barcode Creation

The system generates unique lot and barcode information so each intake record can be identified and traced consistently.

05
PHYSICAL OUTPUT

Label Printing

Barcode labels are printed directly through Zebra printers as part of the intake process, reducing separate manual steps.

06
ERP OUTPUT

Business Central Ready

Standardized records are prepared for Business Central import and downstream inventory, reporting, and operational workflows.

THE RESULT One guided process from intake to traceable ERP-ready data.

Operators follow the same workflow every time, helping reduce manual variation while creating cleaner records for inventory and reporting.

APPLICATION + OUTPUT PREVIEW

Built for the Operator.
Structured for the Business.

The intake application gives operators a controlled interface for entering harvest information while giving administrators the tools needed to manage users, settings, and system behavior.

PHYSICAL OUTPUT

From Validated Intake to a Traceable Label

Once the intake record is validated, the system generates the unique lot and barcode information required for traceability and sends the completed 4x6 label directly to a standard Zebra printer.

Label content is generated from the validated intake record and follows the operational requirements of the harvest workflow.
STEP 01 Validated Record

Required intake information is checked before the ticket is created.

STEP 02 Lot + Barcode

A unique lot and barcode are generated for operational traceability.

STEP 03 4×6 Zebra Label

The completed label is printed directly as part of the intake workflow.

Client names, farm names, lot details, and sample ticket information have been changed to protect confidential operational data.

OPERATIONAL IMPACT

A More Reliable Intake Process
During Peak Harvest

The ticketing system reduced manual setup, improved consistency, strengthened lot traceability, and created a more reliable foundation for downstream ERP and reporting processes.

01

Reduced Daily Setup

Operators can begin intake with less repetitive manual configuration and fewer setup steps before processing tickets.

02

Improved Lot Traceability

Unique lot and barcode generation creates a clearer connection between physical intake activity and the corresponding digital record.

03

Reduced Entry Errors

Required fields and validation rules help prevent incomplete records and reduce variation between operators.

04

Peak-Harvest Support

The workflow was designed to support repeatable ticket creation during periods when intake volume and operational pressure are highest.

05

ERP Data Foundation

Standardized intake records create cleaner source data for Business Central, inventory processes, and operational reporting.

THE BUSINESS VALUE

A controlled intake process built for the realities of harvest operations.

Camvia replaced a manual, operator-dependent process with a structured system that supports traceability, consistency, and cleaner ERP data without adding unnecessary complexity to the operator workflow.
