Food and frozen fulfillment can be unforgiving.
Expiration dates don't wait. Lots that sit too long become waste. Recalls surface without warning.
Whether you're shipping fresh meats, frozen snacks, ice cream or farm co-op products, the margin for error is thin. If your warehouse still relies on spreadsheets and manual tracking or outdated warehouse management systems to manage these moments, you already know the risk. The information exists somewhere, but pulling it together takes time you may not have.
You need a WMS that can handle this complexity. Your team needs real-time visibility and system-level controls. And your entire tech stack needs the flexibility to wrap workflows around how your business actually works.
Here’s what that looks like with InfoPlus.
FIFO (or LIFO, or custom procedures) rules are a key part of food fulfillment. But when compliance depends on picker training, label reading and floor-level memories, mistakes are inevitable.
The InfoPlus warehouse management system enforces FIFO, LIFO and other operational rules. We give your team the power to manage same-SKU inventory as distinct item receipts. Your team is guided to the right lot, every time.
You can even set rules that block lots approaching expiration from being picked at all.
While some systems offer lot tracking as a simple toggle, we’ve made it the very foundation of how inventory moves through your warehouse.
This approach also means you’ll have more flexibility, overriding standard FIFO flows to match specific products or customer requests.
When a recall hits, speed matters. You need to trace a lot from the moment it arrived in the warehouse to the customer who opened the box. And you need that data now.
That’s why it’s critical to have a warehouse management system that records every inventory transaction from receipt to shipment. In InfoPlus, every lot, every movement, every location, every customer record is connected and accessible in real-time.
That traceability supports day-to-day decisions, too. Expiration windows, void dates and sell-by rules are all fully configurable. Stock duration records show exactly how long products have been in the warehouse, so your team can move before they expire.
Frozen food fulfillment adds a whole new layer of complexity, of course. Temperature-controlled storage. Gel pack requirements that flex based on product size and transit times. Inventory restricted to specific zones. And shipping logic that accounts for destination weather and delivery workflows.
You should treat cold chain as another operational logic layer. With InfoPlus, location-locking ensures inventory stays in temperature-appropriate zones. Automated calculations determine ice and gel pack needs based on shipment and carrier details. Time and temperature data flows from your existing systems into the WMS automatically.
These controls come together to reduce spoilage, reships and margin loss across your entire operation.
Every food operation is different. Your products, your packaging, your ERP, your shipping constraints.
That’s why we built InfoPlus to wrap around how you work. InfoPlus gives your technical team a JavaScript-based scripting layer and open API to ensure your system aligns with your current workflows. From a unified platform, you can:
Set different configurations for each product line
Automate manual processes
Connect with food and meat-specific ERPs, package tracking and shipping systems
On the warehouse floor, the system suggests putaway locations based on previous placements. The InfoPlus app guides your team to the right vicinity, keeping operations clean without adding complexity.
Even better, this configuration is designed to be set once and left alone. Simply configure your products, your rules, your logic and let the system run. And when you take on new customers or new products, the system shifts with you to match, taking on new rules you create without slowing anything down.
InfoPlus gives your team the tools to manage the details of food and frozen fulfillment with confidence, from one system, designed to handle this kind of complexity.
Whether you’re switching from spreadsheets or re-routing from another WMS, InfoPlus makes switching easy. Our team will work with you to connect InfoPlus to your existing systems and wrap the system around your workflows.
We’ll get you up and running quickly, with no details left behind.
