Common questions about ParityFactory.

Don't see your question? Ask the team.

Seafood, bakery, meat and poultry, dairy, beverage, produce, and prepared foods. Each segment has tuned workflows — seafood for variable-weight catch records and fisherman settlements, produce for grower receiving and grower payments, bakery for recipe scaling and catchweight scheduling.

Yes. Forward and backward lot traceability across raw materials, in-process inventory, and finished goods satisfies FSMA Section 204 traceability rules. Recall scope-narrowing tools identify exactly which lots, products, and customers are affected — typically in minutes, vs. the two-hour industry standard.

ParityFactory is a WMS and MES layer that integrates with your existing accounting or ERP system — not a replacement. Supported ERPs include NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, SYSPRO, and others. The in-house implementation team has deep experience pairing ParityFactory with all of these systems.

Most implementations go live within 90 days. The majority of configuration is done remotely after a plant tour; the implementation team comes on-site to finalize training before go-live.

The production module alerts operators when a production run contains ingredients that conflict with allergen or organic rules (e.g., allergen vs. non-allergen, organic vs. conventional). Lot tracking ensures full chain-of-custody is maintained if an allergen event requires a recall investigation.

ParityFactory integrates with a range of plant-floor hardware including Zebra and Honeywell scanners and printers, Teguar industrial PCs, Rice Lake weighing systems, Markem-Imaje printers, and BarTender labeling software. The implementation team advises on hardware selection and supports both existing and new equipment.

Advantive provides direct implementation services for all brands. A named implementation lead is assigned at kickoff and stays with the project through go-live. Partner-led implementations are available for select brands when a customer prefers an existing systems integrator.

Advantive ONE extends each brand with cross-system intelligence — surfacing patterns across your ERP, MES, quality, and warehouse data. It runs as a layer on top of your product, not a replacement. Customers on a current support contract are eligible.

Standard support covers software updates, the customer portal (knowledge base + ticketing), and the Advantive support team during business hours in your region. Premium tiers add dedicated customer success, extended SLA coverage, and 24/7 critical-incident response.
