Company profile
researched Sep 2026Caddy Systems Inc. develops cloud-based inventory management and traceability software for small and mid-sized food manufacturers. The product is positioned as a replacement for paper binders and spreadsheets, providing standardized digital forms, real-time inventory visibility, lot-level traceability, recipe management, digital checklists, customer and supplier management, and rapid record retrieval for audits and mock recalls.
The company describes the software as deliberately narrower than an ERP or MRP system: a lighter tool without the feature breadth and price of an ERP, aimed at teams that need audit-ready records as production volumes, SKU counts and retail requirements grow. Caddy publishes explicit fit criteria, stating it is built for owner-led, single-facility manufacturers preparing for retail growth, audits or certifications, and is not designed for farms, distributors, retailers or foodservice operations, beverage-first manufacturers, highly complex or distributed multi-facility teams, operations dependent on co-manufacturers, ERP/MRP replacement use cases, or teams requiring accounting or ERP integrations such as QuickBooks Online. Operations with two facilities sharing simple centralized workflows and a primary production site are described as a possible fit. A companion Android application, "Caddy Inventory & Traceability," is distributed through Google Play, with recent releases adding batch-formula handling for optional ingredients, quantity validation at form submission, and the ability to use an existing batch as an ingredient.
Business model
Caddy sells cloud software to food manufacturing businesses under a Master Agreement that governs subscription terms and renewals; the agreement version dated August 20, 2025 applies to renewals on or after that date.
Traction
Published customer references include T.E. Neesby (General Manager John Diaz) and Barvecue (COO Zack Werner), and a testimonial from Danni Kneeland of Food Safety Solutions. The Android app listed 50+ downloads on Google Play.
Latest developments
A Master Agreement version dated August 20, 2025 took effect for renewals on or after that date. The Android application was updated on September 22, 2026 with production form enhancements including optional ingredient removal from batch formulas, quantity validation moved to form submission, support for using an existing batch as an ingredient, and a custom form search fix.

Market position

Technology
A cloud software platform with a mobile Android client covering inventory management, lot traceability, recipe and batch formula management, digital forms and checklists, and customer and supplier records, with real-time inventory and traceability reporting.
