End-to-end traceability for full visibility and easy compliance with regulations
As any business dealing with food knows, there are a lot of rules and regulations involved. Regulatory agencies must make sure that specific processes are followed to ensure standards in food safety.
To comply with all the regulations, distributors must be able to quickly identify any potential health risks and trace these back to the original source. Katana’s software for food and beverage distributors offers end-to-end traceability, so distributors have full visibility when tracking their perishable goods.
Software for food distributors to increase efficiency and reduce waste
One of the biggest issues when selling perishable goods is that these expire. Selling spoilt food won’t just damage your credibility and relationship with customers but may even lead to expensive lawsuits. That’s why it’s critical to know when your products have reached the end of their shelf life.
Katana’s food distribution software allows you to create batch barcodes. Batch barcodes include a lot more useful information compared to a regular EAN barcode. Batch barcode lets you add an expiry date, production date, identification code, and more. This makes it easy to trace expired or contaminated ingredients, so you can get these recalled or off the shelf before any larger problems arise.
Having a clear overview of the expiration dates also allows you to deal with expiring products before you have to throw them out. Food waste is a big problem in the industry, but with the right tools, you can do your part to fight that while also helping your bottom line.
Inventory management software that takes the cake
Keeping track of your inventory is no simple task, especially if your product lines keep growing with your business. That’s why it’s important to have a future-proof and scalable solution in place so that you would not need to restructure your processes down the road.
Katana equips you with robust inventory managing tools that easily scale with your business. Because Katana seamlessly integrates with the most popular e-commerce platforms, you can be sure that your inventory is kept up to date whenever new orders come in or even when certain items are returned.
With Katana’s omnichannel order management, your inventory is kept synchronized across all your sales channels. So, whether you sell direct-to-consumer (D2C) or business-to-business (B2B), Katana ensures accurate stock levels at all times.
Knowing your stock levels is important and even more so when your inventory is running low. To make sure you always have required items in stock, Katana allows you to set reorder points. This way, whenever a stock level reaches a threshold you set, the item will be highlighted, so you can replenish your inventory.
