In FMCG it is critical to manage inventory. Consumers are used to a wide range of products at their fingertips and therefore everything should be well-stocked and available at all times. This demands an extensive and highly efficient logistic setup. Whether you are still on the traditional hub and spoke model or an innovative supply chain, it has to be fast and above all cost-effective. It makes perfect sense to digitize all your processes and optimize your workflows with the equally cost-effective solution by BizBloqs.
In fast moving consumer goods, you have to keep close track of important information relating to your products. For example, applying FEFO, or first expiry-first out, is very important. Products may also be limited to a window of optimal sales, meaning that stocks have to be high in the window and drastically reduced when the peak is over. This has to be closely tracked and the correct process needs to be enforced to avoid unnecessary losses.
You can manage all product-related information about your inventory in a single affordable solution with BizBloqs. It integrates all your processes and workflow to ensure that you are fully equipped to handle your logistic and distribution challenges.
Capture all incoming goods and the relevant expiry date information with a single scan, while you can implement a full POS system integration to keep perfect track of your inventory at all times.
The e-commerce channel has been hugely influential in the FMCG landscape and it is practically a must to adopt, embrace and make successful. While you need to transform your business anyway, it makes perfect sense to digitize all your logistic processes and optimize your workflow. After all, logistics is at the heart of your operations whether it’s physical stores or your online sales channel.
BizBloqs provides the expertise and guidance you need to manage your warehouse to perfection, from implementing FEFO to managing your locations in the warehouse. Our solutions help you stay compliant, drive productivity and fulfil orders to perfection .
Capture batch production and expiry date information with a single scan and create labels for your locations and products on the spot for perfect navigation.
Given the high turnover speed in FMCG it is critical to manage inflows and outflows of stocks accurately to provide full traceability across all product lines and perform well in operational audits and compliance checks.
Configure specific workflows with shelf life and seasonality rules alongside the ability to integrate all your carriers. This allows you to reduce loss due to expiry and time all your stock movements to perfection.
Once you start a relationship with BizBloqs you do not simply engage a supplier of an affordable logistics solution. Instead, you start a journey with a partner that takes ownership of your challenges and has all the tools and features to support the growing complexity and size of your business.
Volume outpaces a picking process built for lower throughput
Work grouped into waves and split across zones so throughput scales with volume instead of with headcount
Promotional displays are built without stock consequence
Promotional units built against a defined structure that consumes components and creates a countable finished item
Retail delivery windows and pallet rules are missed
Customer-specific pallet, labelling and window requirements enforced during planning, with breaches flagged before dispatch
Short shelf-life stock rotates by habit rather than by rule
FEFO and FIFO applied per item group, with ageing stock reported before it turns into a markdown
Forecast and replenishment run on last month's numbers
Real movement data shared with planning and purchasing continuously, so replenishment reacts to this week rather than last month
Work through the 18-point WMS Requirements Checklist and your answers point to SME, SME+ or Enterprise.
