Warehouse Management Software
for Food & Beverage Manufacturers

A food WMS is a warehouse management system built for the rules food inventory actually carries: expiry dates, lot codes, allergen segregation, and temperature zones. A general warehouse management system tracks a SKU and a quantity. A food WMS tracks which lot, received when, stored at what temperature, expiring on what date, and which allergens it must be kept away from.

NutraSoft's WMS for food covers receiving, putaway, multi-zone storage, picking, and shipping, with every movement recorded against the lot so warehouse activity and traceability come from the same records.

Yes. You can map frozen, refrigerated, ambient, and dry storage as separate zones with their own rules, and NutraSoft directs putaway and picking accordingly.

Because every movement is time-stamped against the lot, you can show a customer or auditor where a lot was stored and for how long, which is the record cold-chain questions usually come down to.

Yes. NutraSoft can select lots automatically by first-expired-first-out, first-in-first-out, or a specific lot you nominate, so the picker is directed to the right pallet rather than choosing by hand.

FEFO is usually the right default in food because shelf life, not receipt date, is what drives write-offs. Automating the choice is what actually reduces expiry losses, since it removes the judgment call at the point of picking.

Yes. Receiving generates a putaway instruction to the correct zone, and orders generate pick lists that direct staff by location and lot.

Picking is confirmed by barcode scan, so the lot that physically left the building is the lot recorded against the shipment. That is what makes a later recall or customer trace answerable in minutes rather than a warehouse walk.

Allergen attributes are carried on the item and the lot, and storage zones can be restricted so allergen-bearing material is not put away beside product that must stay free of it.

When a putaway or pick would break a segregation rule, the system flags it at the point of the scan rather than surfacing it in an audit months later.

Yes. Beverage warehouse management adds its own wrinkles: case and pallet configurations, deposit and returnable containers, tank and bulk storage, and high-volume repetitive picking.

NutraSoft handles multi-level units of measure, so the same lot can be received in bulk, stored by pallet, and picked by case without anyone recalculating quantities by hand.

Yes. Orders from Shopify and your sales channels flow into picking, and shipped quantities post back to accounting through the QuickBooks connection.

That closed loop matters because the most common source of inventory drift is a shipment recorded in one system and not the other. When the warehouse, the storefront, and the ledger share one record, the reconciliation stops being a monthly exercise.

It is if you carry lot-controlled or perishable stock, which almost every food manufacturer does. The value is not the size of the building, it is the cost of a mispick, an expired pallet, or a recall you cannot scope.

NutraSoft is built for small and mid-size operations, so you can run it with tablets and barcode scanners rather than a warehouse automation project, and the warehouse module shares data with production and purchasing instead of standing alone.
