Capture lot and expiry at receiving, enforce first-expiry-first-out on every pick, and get alerted before stock goes out of date. When a recall hits, find every unit of the affected lot — and where it went — in seconds.
First you pay for inventory that quietly ages out in the back of the rack. Then you pay again in the recall you can't trace, the audit you can't pass, and the customer who got a short-dated unit because nobody enforced which lot went out first. For food, beverage, pharma, and cosmetics, the date on the box isn't a suggestion — it's the whole job.
Fresh stock sits up front, older lots get buried behind it. Nobody rotates. Three weeks later you find a pallet that expired last Tuesday — and you eat the whole cost.
A supplier flags lot 8841. You ship from a spreadsheet, so you have no idea which orders included it. You quarantine everything, halt shipping, and hope the auditor is patient.
A customer opens a box with three days of shelf life left. They reject the order, demand credit, and start asking whether your rotation can be trusted at all.
Same SKUs, same shelf life, same team. The difference is whether the system knows the date — or trusts a sticky note to.
No date math in your head. No clipboard rotation logs. The shortest path from a lot landing on the dock to provable traceability on every shipment.
Scan inbound stock and log the lot number and expiry date on the spot. Klovio reads it from the GS1 barcode where it exists, or prompts the receiver where it doesn't.
When an order calls for that SKU, the handheld routes the picker to the lot that expires first — not the closest bin. FEFO is enforced, not hoped for.
Expiry alerts fire at 90/60/30 days. If a lot is recalled, one click surfaces every unit on hand and every order it shipped on — fully traceable.
Open the expiry watchlist and every lot is sorted by days remaining — soonest first. Tiered alerts fire automatically at 90, 60, and 30 days so the team acts while there's still time to sell, transfer, or discount, instead of writing it off.
When a supplier flags a lot, the clock starts. Without traceability, your only safe move is to quarantine the entire SKU and halt every order that might contain it — for days.
Klovio tracks the full genealogy of every lot. Enter the lot number and instantly see every unit still on hand, every bin it sits in, and every order it shipped on — so you quarantine exactly what's affected and keep the rest moving.
From the moment a dated case is scanned at receiving to the moment a recall trace lands on your screen. One lot, tracked at every hop.
20 minutes is all it takes to see Klovio enforce FEFO and trace a recall on your kind of operation.
