Bakery management software as good as your bread
Trail runs your bakery's daily routine, from opening checks to close, and keeps a record of every task.
Over 300M tasks completed in Trail across 40+ countries
Why bakeries choose Trail
You know your food safety records are complete
Every allergen check, temperature log and clean down is saved with a name and a time, so when an inspector asks, you can prove compliance straight away.
Every site runs to the same standard
Set your checks once and every site gets the same tasks. Daily scores show you which bakeries are on track, whether you run two or twenty.
Problems followed up, not just noted
If a cream display reads too warm or a check fails, Trail can ask your team what they did about it, and links that action to the original check.
One platform for every bakery routine
From opening checks to inspections, Trail gives your team one place to complete the work and your managers one place to review it.
Opening and closing routines
Schedule the checks that start and end the day, from retarder settings and oven temperatures to sealing the flour bins.
Temperature monitoring
Log retarders, provers, cream displays and hot savouries, with a range set for each. Raise a corrective action when a reading falls outside of its regular state.
Allergen and food safety checks
Check labels against current recipes and record clean-downs before free-from production.
Cleaning schedules
Set cleaning tasks to run at the frequency your bakery needs, then record what was completed, when and by whom.
Audits and inspections
Run scored audits, review the full history and export PDF records with photos embedded and timestamped.
Equipment and maintenance
Record an equipment problem in the task and raise an Access Maintain callout when a repair is needed.
How do you keep standards the same across every bakery?
Set your checks once and assign them to every bakery, or to groups of sites by area. Every team works to the same steps, wherever they are.
-
One set of checks for every format: conditional logic adapts the same task to a central bakery, a high street shop or a station concession
-
Every bakery in view from anywhere: a daily score out of ten for each site, with a traffic light view across your estate
-
Progress you can track: a 30-day trend shows how each bakery's scores are changing over time

Questions about software for bakery management
Can Trail help with Natasha's Law labelling?
Trail doesn't print labels, but it helps you check them. Schedule a daily check of PPDS labels against your current recipes and add a label review task whenever a supplier changes an ingredient. Every check is recorded with a name and a time of when it was done.
Does Trail work for early shifts without a manager on site?
Yes. The day's tasks appear on the device in time slots, so your team knows what to do without a briefing. On the Standard plan, you can ask staff to sign off each task with a six-digit PIN, so the record shows who did it. You can also set critical checks to need a manager's approval afterwards.
Can I connect Trail to my fridge sensors?
Yes, if you use Infogrid sensors. Readings go straight into your Trail temperature records, so your team doesn't have to take them by hand. If a reading is out of range, Trail will flag it.
What happens when an EHO visits?
Your manager exports a PDF of the checks for whatever dates the inspector wants to see. Each record shows when it was done and who did it, with any photos included and labelled.
Does Trail work without wifi?
Yes. Once the day's tasks have loaded, your team can keep working without a signal. Offline, they can complete checks, log temperatures, add comments, mark tasks as done and snooze tasks. Trail syncs everything when the device reconnects, and each task keeps the time it was actually completed.
A few things need a connection. The day's tasks have to load while the device is online, and photos, file attachments and admin settings only work online. Each device also needs to sync at least once a day. If it doesn't sync before that day's site score is calculated, tasks completed offline will count as missed in the score.
