Supply Chain Software for Food & Beverage
From raw ingredients to retail shelf, manage your entire supply chain without spreadsheets.
Food & Beverage Supply Chain Challenges
The specific operational problems that cost food & beverage operators margin, time, and growth every year.
Shelf Life & Expiry Management
FEFO rotation failures lead to write-offs averaging 8-12% of COGS for mid-size F&B operators. Manual tracking in spreadsheets does not scale past 200 SKUs.
Cold Chain Compliance
Temperature excursions during transport invalidate entire lots. FDA 21 CFR Part 117 requires documented chain-of-custody, yet most operators rely on paper logs that disappear at dock.
Demand Volatility from Promotions
A single retail promotional event can spike demand 3-5x for 2-3 weeks. Without AI forecasting, operators either over-stock (spoilage) or stock-out (lost velocity at shelf).
Supplier Lead Time Variability
Ingredient lead times from co-manufacturers fluctuate 20-40% seasonally. Without multi-supplier visibility, a delayed single ingredient halts an entire production run.
