Food and Beverage Software: Batches and Logistics

Industry solutions from CIS & MET

Service quality starts with knowing every batch.

Batches, expiry dates and quality are central to the food supply chain: the system must support fast operations and precise traceability.

From Data to OperationsBatches and expiry dates in the workflow

Receiving, rotation and distribution linked to the information needed to trace each product.

The Needs We Address

Traceability by batch, supplier, destination and expiry date

Identify batches and origin and destination references to reconstruct movement history.

Stock rotation using FEFO rules and date checks

Availability and picking tasks organised around expiry dates, with constraints configured for delivery requirements.

Quality checks, stock holds and exception management

Quality statuses and holds linked to batches to distinguish usable goods from stock awaiting a decision.

Order management, shipment preparation and traceability reports

Link orders, picked batches and dispatch documents to make product distribution traceable.

A Digital Workflow from Start to Finish

Batch receiving → checks → FEFO stock → picking → distribution

Progress rules, checks and responsibilities are defined during process analysis.

Processes in Practice

Project scenarios: processes, configurations and indicators to define during analysis.

01 / Food distribution

Operational Context: A food warehouse holds the same item in batches with different expiry dates. Preparation must consider stock rotation, recipient requirements and goods quality status.
Integrated Workflow: CM-Logistica records batches and expiry dates at receiving and applies configured FEFO rules to picking. CM-Portable verifies batch identity; quality holds distinguish material unavailable for fulfilment.
Operational Value: Operators work from a selection consistent with warehouse rules. Exceptions can be addressed before dispatch, retaining the link between the order and the batch actually prepared.

Indicators to MonitorStock by expiry window; blocked lines; FEFO exceptions; batches nearing their use deadline.

02 / Supply chain traceability

Operational Context: A batch investigation requires identifying materials used, related production runs and destinations. Information needs to be accessible without reconstructing the chain from disconnected documents.
Integrated Workflow: CM-Suite connects supply chain jobs; CM-Logistica retains moved-batch references. CM-Qualità records notifications and decisions, while analysis shows affected quantities and shipments.
Operational Value: Investigations can start from a batch reference and follow recorded stages. Quality and logistics teams share an information base for defining the scope of review.

Indicators to MonitorQuantities by batch; remaining stock; related shipments; outstanding checks and decisions.
