Built for distributors, processors, beverage makers, and grocery — where lot codes, expiry dates, and traceability aren't optional. Every SKU carries its batch and expiry as a first-class field, from receiving to FEFO picking to a one-click recall.
Most systems treat two pallets of the same SKU as interchangeable. But in food and beverage, a lot number and an expiry date are the whole point. The gap between "we have 200 cases" and "we have 200 cases across 4 lots, and one expires Friday" is the difference between a clean audit and a recall you can't trace.
Stock rotated by whatever was easiest to reach, not what expires first. By the time someone spots the date code, it's a write-off — or worse, it already shipped.
A supplier flags a contaminated lot. Now you're cross-referencing paper receipts and email threads to figure out who got product from that batch — while the clock runs.
SQF or HACCP comes knocking and your traceability lives in three binders and one person's memory. Every adjustment without a timestamp is a finding waiting to happen.
Same coolers, same SKUs, same team. The difference is whether the system understands a lot code and an expiry date.
Three steps that turn date codes from a liability into a system of record — from the receiving dock to the recall report.
Scan inbound product and record the lot number, batch, and expiry date as it lands. No relabeling, no parallel paperwork — the date code is now part of the count.
When an order drops, Klovio directs the picker to the soonest-expiring lot first. Rotation stops depending on who's on shift — it's built into the pick path.
Every lot keeps its full history: where it came from, where it moved, and which orders it shipped on. A recall becomes a search box, not a fire drill.
Klovio sorts every lot by expiry date and surfaces what's closest to the edge. Alerts fire at 30, 14, and 7 days out, so you have time to act — move it, mark it down, or route it to a customer who'll turn it fast.
When a supplier flags a batch, you don't have time to dig through receipts. Type the lot number and Klovio returns its full genealogy: which PO it arrived on, where it was stored, and exactly which orders and customers it shipped to.
Quarantine what's still on hand, export the affected customer list, and document the whole action — while the trace itself takes under a minute, not an afternoon.
From the moment a pallet hits the receiving dock to the moment a recall report is exported — every step keeps the lot, the date code, and the trail intact.
20 minutes is all it takes to see lot tracking, FEFO picking, and one-click recall traces working on your kind of operation.
