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

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.
