Industries · Food & Grocery
Food & Grocery distribution, modernized.
Perishables, rotation, thin margins — where a few ounces of error are thousands of dollars of margin.
The reality on the ground
Food wholesale runs on details generic ERPs treat as edge cases: catch weights, variable units of measure, shelf-life and rotation, volatile costs that change daily, and FSMA traceability obligations. A few ounces of catch-weight variance per case compounds into thousands in lost margin per month. Margins are thin enough that delayed or re-keyed data isn't an inconvenience — it's how profit quietly leaks out.
What breaks in food & grocery operations
Perishables & rotation
Product has a clock on it. Deliveries need date-rotation notes per stop and credit handling for short-coded stock — paper systems lose that detail between the warehouse and the shelf.
Units of measure chaos
The same product moves as pounds, cases, eaches, and catch-weight — often in one transaction. Systems that assume fixed units force spreadsheet workarounds on every order.
Volatile cost & pricing
Costs change daily. Quotes built on stale cost data sell product below margin without anyone noticing until the month-end report.
Traceability pressure
FSMA 204 pushes lot-level traceability deeper into the supply chain. Paper pick tickets don't produce an auditable record when a recall lands.
