50 things Littoral does.

Full 7-stage vendor qualification lifecycle: pre_screen → risk_scored → afc → documents_verified → approved (or rejected/suspended). Admin-controlled. Zero vendor fees. No vendor account required.

VAP advancement to documents_verified is blocked if any required document (FSSC, CoC, insurance, SDS, CoA) is missing or expired. Not a checkbox. A platform gate that holds until documents are current.

Vendors receive a scoped magic link. They upload qualification documents, fill the SAQ, and submit certs. No Azure AD account, no IT onboarding, no user license consumed.

When selecting a supplier for a PO, the dropdown automatically filters to VAP-approved manufacturers. An unapproved supplier generates a warning. The platform enforces the policy. It doesn't remind you about it.

Formal Approved for Commercialization stage before a vendor can supply commercial production. QA manager sign-off required. Not a checkbox. A required transition gate with an audit trail.

Batch-match imported supplier name strings against your canonical vendor registry. Auto-applies matches at ≥91% confidence; puts ambiguous matches in a human-review queue. Claude Haiku, chunked at 120 names per call.

Scores SOPs against operational data, surfaces compliance gaps, rates findings by severity (critical / high / medium / low / info / warning). Runs against your actual platform data, not synthetic test scenarios.

Product cost + freight + insurance + tariff → landed cost per kg per ingredient per shipment. Compare supplier quotes on a true apples-to-apples basis, not just FOB price.

Platform maps your numbering, your prefixes, your taxonomy before you upload a single file. SOP-01-20 is yours, not ours. Nothing gets renamed.

From draft through pending_qa_review through approved. Hold/resume requires documented reason. QC and QA gates enforced. You cannot skip to approved. Every state transition is audit-logged.

PIN-based, immutable timestamp, on every quality event: batch approval, QC release, SOP acknowledgement, SCAR issue. The signature record is written by the platform, not constructed after the fact.

Issue Supplier Corrective Action Requests through the platform. 6-stage resolution chain: open → supplier_response → quality_review → operations_review → effectiveness_review → closed. Tracked, not emailed.

Raw material lot → PO receipt → batch consumption → finished lot → shipment. Full forward and backward trace in one query. Not a spreadsheet merge that takes your quality team two days to run.

Critical Control Point verification logs live inside the batch record, not in a separate HACCP spreadsheet. Failed CCP triggers a hold workflow. Resume requires a documented reason. The gate is in the platform.

Operator sign-off on allergen line clearance gates production start. Part of the batch record workflow, not a paper form that gets filed somewhere.

QC-complete is blocked if batch yield falls outside min/max tolerance. The tolerance gate is in the platform, not a post-hoc check your QA manager does manually.

SOP activation auto-notifies affected users. Per-user, per-version acknowledgement tracking. Auditors pull the complete log, not a spreadsheet of who signed what.

NC creation, root cause investigation, corrective action assignment, effectiveness review. Custom numbering (NC-XXXX, CAPA-XXXX). Full audit trail. Linked to SCAR and lot traceability.

Full Chart of Accounts, journal entries, trial balance, P&L, Balance Sheet, Working Capital. Your books live in Littoral. QuickBooks is a sync target, not the system of record.

Toll manufacturing → CR 4000. Consulting → 4100. Repackaging → 4200. Merchant product sales → 4500. The right account fires automatically based on order type, not on a manual journal entry.

Demand signals (open SOs + manual forecasts) → BOM explosion → net requirements (on-hand minus allocated plus in-transit) → planned orders → one-click convert to PO.

5-bucket aging (current/30/60/90/120+), per-customer drill-down, payment recording, automated dunning emails with escalating tone. DunningCount tracked so you know where you are with each account.

Quarterly budget targets per CoA line. Variance visible in real time. Finance and operations see the same numbers, not a monthly spreadsheet reconciliation.

CoA and journal entry sync to QuickBooks. Use Littoral as your system of record; your accountant works in QB. OAuth flow, QB_ENVIRONMENT toggle for sandbox/production.

InventoryLots with quantity-on-hand, status lifecycle (pending_qa / released / in_use / consumed / expired), and lot transactions with named event types. Every lot movement is logged.

Address-mode with geocode autocomplete and server-side Mapbox proxy (API key never reaches the browser). Odometer mode. IRS-compatible 13-column CSV export. Approval workflow for reimbursement.

Stage probability map (discovery 5% / closing 70% / won 100%) → weighted revenue by close-date bucket. Finance and sales see the same projected number.

Full 850 inbound → draft SO → 855 POA outbound; SO shipped → 856 ASN; SO invoiced → 810 invoice. Concurrency-proven control number allocation. Cert-ready, dormant until configured.

Role + department → auto-assigned course list. Equipment assignment → auto-trigger equipment certification. Policy change → recertification trigger. Training finds the person, not the other way around.

Managers see their direct reports' training and competency completion. ManagerId EXISTS subquery. Your manager sees your status. Nobody else does. Green/amber/red by department.

Nightly job finds overdue enrollments, emails the employee, CCs the manager. NudgeSentAt guard prevents duplicate sends. Compliance deadlines don't slip silently.

Qualification signoffs, competency assessments, team readiness scores. Manager-only promotion gate. The platform enforces that someone attested to each qualification before it counts.

6 KPI cards, by-department completion rates color-coded (<60% red / 60-79% amber / ≥80% green), by-course pass rates sorted by overdue count, 12-month completion trend chart.

admin / qa_manager / manager / product_manager / operator roles enforced at every API endpoint. Not just UI gates. The server blocks the request if the role doesn't match. UI-only guards are a security architecture smell.

SO-, PO-, NS-BOL-, NS-IN-, CAPA-, NC-, SCAR- are DB-backed atomic sequences. No duplicate numbers under concurrent load, no gaps, no "we had to renumber because two people created records at the same time."

Each tenant has an isolated database, isolated configuration, isolated blob storage. Adding a new tenant is provisioning and a migration, not a software deployment. Cross-tenant access is architecturally impossible.

Admin-level tracking of AI token spend per model per day, 14-day lookback, nightly sync. Know what AI is costing before it shows up as a surprise line item.

CSV/XLSX export, 90-day max window per export, 90-2555 day retention, nightly purge job. Auditors can pull their own logs. No admin involvement required to generate a compliant audit record.

The 18-month implementation exists because vendors skip the early steps. Littoral starts with your document schema before anything is uploaded. The Maiden Voyage path is structured, deliverable-driven, and doesn't require a consulting partner.

6-step, week-by-week implementation path with explicit deliverables per week. You know what happens in week 3 before you sign the contract. No open-ended "discovery phase" that expands to fill the budget.

Every module is included. There is no enterprise tier to unlock batch records, tariff, or VAP. No "contact sales to add Quality" upsell when you realize you need CAPA six months in.

QA manager, production supervisor, warehouse operator, CFO, seasonal contractor: all included. Flat monthly pricing with no per-seat multiplication. Adding a second shift supervisor costs zero extra.

The only published price on the site converts to subscription credit if you sign within 60 days. Buyers commit to the assessment first, not the platform. You see the gap analysis before you decide on anything else.
