Cargovate for manufacturers
Trace a material lot to every unit built from it, through sub-assemblies; refuse work by an uncertified operator or with a tool out of calibration; refuse release while anything is outstanding; and pack the released serial into the shipment, so the production record and the shipping record are the same record.

Transcript
The production record lives in one place, and the shipping record in another. When a supplier reports a bad material lot, someone spends days joining spreadsheets, travellers and inspection sheets, to answer a question that should take minutes.
In Cargovate, material lots are consumed into units, and units into higher assemblies. So for any lot, one question finds every unit that contains it: built from it directly, through a sub-assembly, or already shipped.
Open a serial, and its as-built tree runs the other way: every sub-assembly and material lot that went into it.
An operation refuses to complete if the operator does not hold a valid certification for it, or if a named tool has no calibration in force.
Release is a gate, not a status field. A unit with an open nonconformance cannot be released, and release refuses with a list of exactly what is outstanding.
The only way past it is a recorded disposition, with a named signer. There is no way to skip it quietly.
Once released, the unit is packed into a shipment, and its record lists every shipment that has carried it. The production record and the shipping record are the same record.
