Warehouse Management for
Expiry-Dated Products
FEFO picking. Lot traceability. Zero expired shipments.
Enforce rotation at every pick and prevent waste.
The real cost of poor expiry management.
Every expired product that gets shipped is a customer complaint, a return, and damage to your reputation. Every expired product you throw away is margin walking out the door.

Reduction in expiry waste with proper FEFO
Complete lot and expiry management.
From receiving to shipping, WarePulse tracks every lot and enforces FEFO at every step.
Expiry-aware intake
Lot capture and FEFO logic start at the dock instead of later in a spreadsheet cleanup.
Lot Capture at Receiving
Record lot numbers and expiry dates as products arrive. Scan, type, or import from ASN. Validation prevents duplicate or invalid lots.
FEFO-Directed Picking
Pickers are automatically directed to the earliest expiry date. No guessing, no shortcuts - the system enforces rotation.
Location and rotation control
The team can see which locations, lots, and aging risk need attention before a bad pick happens.
Expiry Alerts
Get notified 30, 60, or 90 days before expiry. Dashboard shows at-risk inventory so you can act before it is waste.
Full Lot Traceability
Trace any lot from supplier to customer. Forward trace (where did it go?) and backward trace (where did it come from?) for recalls.
Floor execution with records
Operators get the right lot, the right location, and the right confirmation flow on the same device.
Expiry Reports
See inventory by expiry date range. Identify slow-moving lots before they expire. Export for food safety audits.
Expired Product Blocks
Automatically quarantine expired inventory. Prevent picking from expired lots. Require manager approval for disposition.
Built for perishable goods industries.
