The Problem
Why Food Distributors Can't Rely on Spreadsheets Anymore
Pain Point
High Spoilage and Write-Offs
Food products have tight shelf-life windows. Without automated FEFO, fresh inventory ships while older stock spoils — destroying margins and creating waste.
Pain Point
Expired Products Reaching Customers
Shipping expired food is a health risk, a reputation destroyer, and a compliance violation. Manual tracking creates gaps that let expired items slip through.
Pain Point
FSMA Traceability Requirements
FDA's Food Traceability Rule mandates Key Data Elements and Critical Tracking Events for many food products. Spreadsheets can't meet these requirements at scale.
Pain Point
Slow Recall Response
FDA expects 24-hour recall capability. Can you identify every customer who received a contaminated lot within a day? Manual tracking makes this nearly impossible.
