Product Quarantine Functionality and Other New Updates - February 2025 Newsletter | Areté Inc

Effortlessly account for any Product Quarantine period with our New Quarantine Functionality

In the food and beverage industry, Quarantine refers to the strict isolation of specific products that require rigorous inspection and testing before release into the market. This is done to ensure that these products strictly adhere to the mandated public safety guidelines. If product Quarantine is required for your business, Areté Avail 11 features new functionality to account for inventory segregation and delayed market release in the Make and Deploy Editors.

The Production runs in Edit Make now account for the Quarantine Period. The Quarantine Period is the white space which indicates the number of days the product is quarantined in the production run (Blue Line).
