Software is a key component of warehouse management systems (WMS) that create today's connected warehouse. It enables centralized management of tasks such as tracking inventory levels and stock locations, order fulfillment, and shipping and receiving.
New and updated software suites available today help snack and bakery companies efficiently manage any supply-chain or finished-product traffic traveling in and out of the warehouse. Companies benefit from this software because their facilities always have what they need for production runs on hand at any given time, there's no lag in ingredient ordering.
Software solutions help snack producers and bakers build a proven traceability plan to track ingredients and finished goods to prevent or handle product recalls.
Ingredient traceability is a growing compliance challenge for bakers and snack producers. Statistics show that the number of food-safety recalls has risen rapidly in recent years, and recalls are becoming more costly. Product recalls can cost companies millions of dollars, and damage to the brand’s reputation can impact sales potential for years to come. For companies impacted by recalls—including through potential ingredient contamination—rapid responsiveness is key to minimizing their impact.
Today’s logistics software helps bakers and snack manufacturers efficiently—and cost-effectively—manage operations from production through distribution.
