Food & beverage distribution
For food & beverage distributors: traceability, freshness, daily deliveries.
Lot and expiry date management, cold chain constraints, frequent deliveries to restaurants and supermarkets. SupplyCore covers the full chain — no spreadsheets.
Your sector context
Food distribution is a precision business: a mistraced lot can trigger a massive recall, a broken cold chain destroys merchandise, and a restaurant that doesn't get its 5am delivery loses its evening. SupplyCore Software brings the right tools for this level of demand.
Every inventory line carries its lot, expiry date and supplier traceability. Expiry alerts prevent losses; traceability reports are ready to present to regulators (MAPAQ, CFIA, FDA). The delivery module handles customer time windows (delivery between 4am and 7am on Tuesdays), temperature proofs, and immediate returns for defective products.
National accounts (restaurant chains, hospitality wholesalers) get a B2B portal with their negotiated prices, credit limits and history. The Deliveries AI agent helps plan routes accounting for temperature constraints and time windows.
Your daily challenges
- Regulatory lot + expiry date traceability (FDA, MAPAQ, CFIA).
- Cold chain: temperatures to maintain from dock to customer.
- Daily or weekly deliveries to dozens of restaurants.
- Urgent orders — restaurants can't wait 48 hours.
- Volatile promotions and strong seasonality (Valentine's Day, holidays).
- B2B accounts with short terms (Net 15) and very thin margins.
