Managing inventory in a dairy business presents unique challenges that general inventory systems simply cannot handle. MilkDelivery's intelligent inventory management system is specifically designed for dairy businesses.
Perishable products require precise tracking, expiration dates demand constant monitoring, and customer demand fluctuates based on seasonal patterns. Our specialized tools help you maintain optimal stock levels, reduce waste, and ensure product freshness from warehouse to doorstep.
Critical for Dairy: Real-time expiration tracking and FIFO management prevent waste and ensure customers always receive the freshest products possible.
Gain complete visibility into your dairy inventory with real-time tracking that monitors stock levels across warehouses, distribution centers, delivery vehicles, and retail locations. Our system automatically updates inventory counts as products move through your supply chain.
See exactly where every product is located—warehouse, trucks, or distribution points—in real-time
Inventory automatically adjusts as shipments arrive and deliveries complete
Track whole, skim, 2%, organic, yogurt, cheese, butter, cream individually
Build and maintain a comprehensive product catalog that serves as the foundation of your inventory system. Organize your dairy products into logical categories and subcategories for efficient management.
Complete records with descriptions, nutritional facts, allergen warnings, and storage requirements
Manage different sizes, packaging options, and formats within single product listings
Different tiers for wholesale, retail, and subscription customers with automatic adjustments
Never experience unexpected stockouts or overstock situations with intelligent stock level monitoring. Set customized minimum and maximum thresholds for each product based on your sales patterns, lead times, and storage capacity.
The system continuously monitors inventory levels and sends automated alerts when products approach critical thresholds. Receive notifications via email, SMS, or in-app messages, ensuring that the right team members are informed about inventory situations that require immediate attention.
Predictive Alerts: Advanced alert rules consider day of week, seasonal demand, and holidays. The system learns from historical data to predict critical stock levels, giving you advance warning rather than reacting to emergencies.
Configure different alert recipients based on product categories, so warehouse managers receive alerts for bulk items while route supervisors get notifications about delivery vehicle inventory levels.
Dairy products have limited shelf life, making expiration date tracking absolutely critical for quality control and waste reduction. Our system tracks expiration dates at the batch and lot level, ensuring that older products are always selected for delivery before newer inventory.
Automatically prioritize inventory based on receive and expiration dates, preventing old stock from sitting while fresh items ship
Early warning system gives time for markdown strategies, food bank donations, or production adjustments
Track spoilage with detailed analytics identifying patterns and improvement opportunities
The system calculates optimal order quantities based on shelf life and sales velocity, helping you maintain fresh inventory without excessive waste.
Operate multiple warehouses and distribution centers with centralized inventory control that provides visibility across your entire operation. Each location maintains its own inventory records while rolling up to enterprise-wide reporting.
Enterprise Visibility: Optimize inventory allocation across locations based on regional demand patterns, delivery route requirements, and storage capacity—all from a single dashboard.
Eliminate manual reordering processes with intelligent automation that generates purchase orders based on actual consumption patterns and upcoming demand. Set reorder points for each product that trigger automatic purchase requisitions when inventory falls below specified thresholds. The system calculates optimal order quantities considering supplier minimums, volume discounts, storage capacity, and cash flow requirements.
Integration with supplier systems enables electronic purchase order submission, reducing order processing time and minimizing errors. Track purchase orders from submission through delivery, with automatic inventory updates when shipments are received. The system maintains a complete history of supplier performance including on-time delivery rates, quality issues, and pricing variations. This data informs future purchasing decisions and helps you develop stronger supplier relationships based on factual performance metrics.
Maintain detailed records for every batch and lot of dairy products received into your inventory. Batch tracking captures essential information including supplier, production date, expiration date, quality test results, and certifications. This granular tracking enables precise traceability in the event of quality issues or product recalls. Quickly identify all products from a specific batch, determine their current locations, and generate lists of affected customers for rapid notification.
The lot tracking system supports serialization for premium products or regulatory compliance requirements. Track individual containers through your supply chain from receipt through delivery, maintaining complete chain of custody documentation. Quality control integration allows you to record temperature monitoring data, inspection results, and handling procedures associated with each batch, ensuring compliance with food safety regulations and organic certification requirements.
Handle product returns efficiently with dedicated workflows for different return scenarios including customer complaints, damaged products, and expired inventory. The system tracks return reasons, captures photographic evidence, and automatically adjusts inventory counts when returns are processed. Analyze return patterns to identify quality issues, packaging problems, or handling concerns that require corrective action.
Spoilage tracking maintains detailed records of inventory write-offs including reasons, responsible parties, and financial impact. Generate spoilage reports that help you understand where waste occurs in your operation and quantify the cost impact. This visibility enables targeted improvement initiatives that reduce waste percentages, improve handling procedures, and optimize ordering patterns to minimize spoilage losses.
Leverage historical sales data and subscription patterns to forecast future inventory requirements with greater accuracy. The forecasting engine analyzes multiple years of data to identify seasonal trends, growth patterns, and demand fluctuations. Machine learning algorithms detect correlations between weather patterns, local events, promotional activities, and product demand, improving forecast accuracy over time.
Generate forecasts at different time horizons from weekly operational planning to annual strategic procurement. The system considers subscription commitments, providing a baseline of predictable demand that reduces forecasting uncertainty. Scenario planning tools allow you to model the inventory impact of promotional campaigns, price changes, or new product introductions before implementing these strategies in your actual operation.
Connect directly with dairy suppliers and procurement systems to streamline the entire supply chain. Electronic data interchange capabilities enable automated information exchange including purchase orders, order confirmations, shipping notifications, and invoices. Real-time supplier inventory visibility helps you identify available products and make informed purchasing decisions based on actual supplier stock levels.
Supplier performance dashboards track key metrics including fill rates, on-time delivery percentages, product quality scores, and pricing competitiveness. Use this data to optimize your supplier mix, negotiate better terms, and ensure reliable product availability. The system maintains complete procurement history that supports auditing requirements and provides data for supplier negotiations based on actual purchase volumes and payment history.
Extend inventory management capabilities to delivery drivers and field personnel through mobile applications. Drivers can view their assigned inventory, record product deliveries, and document exceptions such as returns or refusals directly from their mobile devices. Real-time synchronization ensures that office staff sees accurate inventory levels as deliveries progress throughout the day.
Mobile barcode scanning capabilities enable quick and accurate inventory counts during vehicle loading, delivery confirmation, and warehouse receiving. Reduce errors associated with manual data entry while improving operational efficiency. The mobile interface provides offline functionality for areas with limited connectivity, automatically syncing data when connections are restored.
