In the Food industry, the margins for error are slim due to the lifecycle properties of the products. Besides the usual challenges of a supply chain operation, you also come across specific inventory control issues such as picking stock according to expiration dates, manufacture dates or lot IDs.

In addition, you may also have to check temperature and humidity levels to ensure the quality of your products is the finest. Increased accuracy is the basis to running a successful operation and is the goal to ensure ongoing customer satisfaction.

In order to achieve any goal in this industry, supply chain execution software is required. CoreWarehouse can empower you to effectively oversee all the twists and turns of your regular operation, plus the added difficulties of a Food operation.

Optimization and validation of all transactions can significantly improve your order fulfillment and practices. The ability to manage fulfillment requirements with LIFO, FIFO and FEFO, and an advanced functionality for customer shelf-life, reduces the risk of sub par products leaving your warehouse, thus ensuring customer satisfaction.

Catch weight and carton tracking requirements can be supported at the inbound and/or outbound levels with noting of out-of-bounds conditions set at the item level. Receipts and automatic moves of quality controlled products into a blast freezer is another added functionality of CoreWarehouse to ensure top quality. A direct receipt from manufacturing or work orders also is supported.

Access to all of this real-time information including performance levels, inventory levels, order status, and worker status provide the keys to strong decision making and a successful business.
