Food and beverage challenges

A supply chain where every day counts

Cold chain, short shelf life and fluctuating demand call for a distinct operating discipline in food and beverage.

01

Cold chain continuity

Every step of temperature-controlled transport from warehouse to store must be on record. A single break puts product quality and safety at risk.

temperature log
02

Batch and expiry confusion

Several batches of the same product with different dates can be in stock at once. Tracking by hand which one goes out first is error-prone.

batch tracking
03

Recall speed

When a quality issue arises, you need to quickly find which stores the batch went to and when. A late response magnifies the risk.

04

Demand swings

Season, weather and campaigns change demand quickly. If the plan reacts late, stockouts and overproduction happen at the same time.

seasonal demand
05

Spoilage and waste

For short-shelf-life products, wrong sequencing, delayed shipping or a wrong order quantity increases waste. Every unit of waste comes straight out of profitability.

06

Audit readiness

In audits you need to present the traceability record quickly and completely. If records are scattered, the audit drags on.

Batch and expiry information is visible on every screen

HaROS tracks each batch end to end with its batch number and expiry date. FEFO is applied automatically at shipping; when a recall is issued, you can quickly query which shipments the batch went to.

  • Every batch is recorded with its production date, expiry date and warehouse location
  • The system determines the shipping order according to the FEFO rule
  • In a recall, the stores the batch went to are listed instantly
  • Kahin demand forecasting directly feeds the production and distribution plan

Planning is at the center. HaROS WMS protects the cold chain in the warehouse and HaROS TMS (Shipment Management) on the road.

Planning

Production and distribution based on demand

Kahin produces a demand forecast by analyzing sales, historical data, live stock and traffic. Production quantity and the distribution plan are shaped by this forecast; overproduction and stockouts decrease together.

Frequently asked questions

Does HaROS guarantee compliance with food regulation?

No, it does not give a compliance guarantee. HaROS records batch, expiry, temperature and shipping data end to end and produces an audit-ready traceability report. Responsibility for compliance stays with you; HaROS supports it with data.

How is the FEFO rule applied, and is manual intervention needed?

FEFO is applied automatically in shipping and picking tasks; the system always suggests the batch with the nearest expiry first. In exceptions such as a special campaign or customer request, an authorized user can override the rule manually.

How quickly can I find where a batch went in a recall?

When you enter the batch number, all stores, dates and quantities that batch went to are listed instantly. Speed depends on complete records; HaROS keeps this record continuously.

What data does demand forecasting work with?

Kahin analyzes sales, historical data, live stock and traffic. Seasonality and the campaign calendar are also taken into account. Details are on the Demand Forecasting page.

Which devices does cold chain temperature data come from?

Data from warehouse and vehicle sensors is transferred to HaROS through integration. We determine together, before setup, how to connect your existing sensors.
