Perishable Food Distribution: Managing Expiry and Waste

Time is the product’s enemy

Short-life food products lose value fast. Poor expiry management means returns, direct waste and a risk to the brand’s reputation at points of sale.

Controls that protect quality

• Apply “First-Expired, First-Out” (FEFO).
• Track expiry dates at the batch level.
• Watch slow-moving items nearing expiry.
• Speed the order-to-delivery cycle to cut storage.

Data reduces waste

When you know what’s nearing expiry and where, you launch targeted offers and redistribute before spoilage. Data-driven expiry management turns potential waste into sales.
