The food and beverage industry is highly competitive and it is vital that companies rapidly respond to demand and ever-increasing customer requirements.
BizBloqs provides integrated warehousing, manufacturing and distribution solutions, that allows F & B businesses to stay compliant, drive productivity and fulfil orders.
Capture batch production and expiry date information with a single scan and create custom labelling to satisfy key customer requirements, which then are printed at the exact right time and location. Apply FEFO (first expired, first out) to avoid unnecessary losses.
Record material inflows and outflows accurately to provide full traceability across all product lines and perform well in operational audits. Digitze your bills of materials to keep track of your article transformations.
Configure client specific workflows with shelf life rules for each customer alongside the ability to reserve stock for key customers and provide advanced shipment notifications.
The BizBloqs technology stack features a data connector layer that allows product and inventory information to be shared with trading partners to improve business relationships and boost sales. EDI is fully supported and unlocks yet another level of digitization and optimization.
Best-before dates are managed on stickers and spreadsheets
Batch and date captured at receipt, enforced on every pick, and reported on before stock becomes a write-off
A trace request from a retailer takes hours to answer
Supplier batch to delivered customer order in a single query, meeting the response times retailers and inspectors expect
Chilled, frozen and ambient stock are managed as if they were the same
Each zone carries its own storage, picking and staging rules, so a chilled item cannot be staged in an ambient lane
Allergen and separation requirements depend on staff knowing them
Storage and picking constraints configured per item group and enforced by the system rather than by memory
Retail EDI orders are re-typed and delivery windows are missed
Electronic orders flow straight into planning with the agreed delivery window attached and breaches flagged before dispatch
Work through the 18-point WMS Requirements Checklist and your answers point to SME, SME+ or Enterprise.
BizBloqs has implemented and optimized numerous features that are highly relevant to the F & B industry. We highlighted a few below.
Hold multiple barcodes and quantities against items to drive efficiency.
Aged stock reporting and FIFO picking rules minimize obsolescence.
Control items at the batch and lot level with full location and event tracking.
Control the consumption of all component parts and keep accurate stock levels.
Ensure all products are handled in the same manner with standardized workflows.
Manage raw materials, packaging, work in progress and finished goods stock levels.

When we had extensive logistic requirements beyond the capabilities of our financial solution, BizBloqs shared its expertise to transform Lantaarn’s entire warehouse experience together

We needed a better, more transparent and practical system for our incoming and outgoing product flow. A direct overview in our stock and all our logistics movements was really a must. BizBloqs helped us from the start!
Rik Klein - Sales manager
In addition to a scan procedure with EDI integration, BizBloqs has set up an entire production system for us. Production planning can provide direct instructions and as soon as they are ready, it all arrives in the OMS. This gives us a larger production capacity and a drastic reduction of the picking mistakes in dispatching.
