Food & Packaged Goods Distribution
How We Help
SupplyNow's pricing engine receives manufacturer promotional updates and applies them instantly across all channels. Warehouse loading generates pick lists ordered by warehouse layout, scan to confirm each lot. Fleet Planner schedules routes against per-customer delivery windows so trucks arrive during receiving hours.
Industry Challenges

Expiry date management across dozens of SKUs requires batch-level visibility at every stage
Promotional pricing from manufacturers changes frequently, sales reps quote outdated prices if pricing is not centralized
Route optimization must account for time-window constraints, supermarkets close their goods receiving at specific times
Recommended Suites
