Every lot stays connected to the movement.

Availability needs context

A full warehouse is not the same as available inventory.

A case can be physically present and still be the wrong lot, status, date or configuration for the order. Food and beverage logistics keeps those details connected to allocation, preparation and distribution.

Shelf-life allocation

Select stock for where it is going—not only when it arrived.

Allocation can consider release status, applicable lot and date attributes, travel time, receiving lead time and the customer’s remaining-life expectation before a case enters the order.

FIFO, FEFO or another agreed rotation rule can be applied consistently, while inventory that cannot meet the destination requirement follows a visible exception path.
