Food Industry

The warehousing of food products presents many unique challenges. The margins for error are slim due to the life cycle properties of the products. Besides the usual challenges of a supply chain operation, food warehousing has its unique supply control issues such as picking stock according to expiration dates, manufacture dates or lot IDs.

In addition, temperature and humidity levels need to be monitored to ensure the quality of your products. Increased accuracy is the basis for 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 eVolve cloud-based solutions can empower you to effectively oversee all the twists and turns of your regular operation, plus the added challenges and unique requirements of a food operation. Whether the requirements are frozen, cooler, refrigerated or dry goods, Core can solve operational problems that may exist today. 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 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 are supported at the inbound and/or outbound levels with noting of out-of-bounds conditions set at the item level.
