The everyday problems - and what MBS does about them
Stock written off because it expired in the racks.
Strict FEFO and expiry alerts surface aging lots before they turn into write-offs.
A recall means quarantining everything just to be safe.
Lot genealogy pinpoints the exact affected pallets, so you isolate grams not tonnes.
Cold-chain breaks discovered too late, after the load ships.
Per-zone temperature logging flags excursions the moment they happen.
Trace a yoghurt batch from tanker to truck
Every move is stamped with lot, expiry and temperature. When a supplier issues a recall, you pull the exact pallets in minutes - not a warehouse-wide quarantine.

Everything Food & Beverage operations actually need
FEFO & shelf-life
Picking is driven by best-before dates, with configurable minimum-life rules per customer.
Temperature zones
Ambient, chilled and frozen zones with logging and excursion alerts on every move.
Recall in minutes
Trace any lot up to its suppliers and down to every customer it reached.
Allergen & QC holds
Quarantine, release and segregate batches so allergens never reach the wrong line.
“We used to lose a pallet a week to expiry and dread the word recall. Now FEFO does the thinking and a recall trace takes a coffee break, not a night shift.”
Food & Beverage questions, answered
Does MBS handle catch-weight products?
Yes. Variable-weight items are tracked by both unit and actual weight, with capture at receiving and dispatch.
Can we enforce minimum remaining shelf life per customer?
Each customer can carry its own minimum-life-on-receipt rule; MBS won't allocate a lot that breaches it.
How fast is a recall trace?
Lot genealogy is indexed both ways, so tracing an affected batch to every shipment is typically seconds, not hours.
