Chill and Dairy Warehousing, Manufacturing and Distribution businesses rely on Warehouse Management Software for their business critical high-volume, fast moving 24×7 operations. Their products shelf-life is usually a matter of days. Customers demand strict stock rotation by best before dates and often different consignees can have varying best before date rules etc. Controlling stock rotation, 100% picking accuracy, temperature and quality control management with tight transportation schedules can all prove challenging and returned stock can quickly become worthless impacting on revenue – traceability through the pick face is crucial and replenishment management can be key to both traceability and efficiency.
 
 
Dairy Warehouse Operation Challenges:

• Short Shelf Life
• Batch & BBD Date Traceability Through Pick Faces
• Food Production Guidelines & Regulations
• Varying Rules by Consignee
• Supply Chain Optimisation
• Product Grading
• Product Re-working – De-boxing, Scraping, Cutting & Shedding
• Intolerances & Allergens Alignment
• Adopting the Right Automation as Labour Rates Fall
• Safety when Harnessing More Automated Picking & Handling Systems
• Operating Partner Systems & Processes Alignment

 
 
In-DEX WMS Warehouse Management Software solves this problem with a combination of pre-emptive, forecast-based and real-time replenishment cycles. Stock can arrive in the warehouse or distribution centre with a shorter shelf-life from stock currently being picked. It is essential that the operation is made aware of this immediately and deals with it in real-time.
 
 
In-DEX WMS Warehouse Management Software guarantees real-time traceability through pick faces of any traceable information (e.g. BBD, batch, etc.).
