How Linbis Works for Food Distributors:

Discover how our Food Distribution Management Software streamlines operations for distributors in the food industry. This comprehensive platform enhances efficiency, ensures compliance with safety regulations, and improves inventory and supply chain management, from the warehouse to the customer.

Purchase Order Management

Easily create purchase orders for your food products, add related expenses, and send them to suppliers. For example, a seafood distributor could use this feature to order fresh salmon, include ice packing and transportation costs directly in the purchase order, and track the order until it arrives.

Shipment Tracking and Customs Documentation

Once the order is ready to ship, track it at the item level for better visibility. This is crucial for importers who need to ensure all customs documentation is prepared and accessible for the freight forwarder handling the shipment. For instance, a distributor importing cheese from France can track each cheese wheel and ensure all health and import documents are in order.

Receiving and Inventory Management

Upon arrival, receive multiple purchase orders at once, track in-transit inventory, and perform physical counts against the packing list. Print labels and assign locations in your warehouse for efficient storage. For example, a grocery distributor can receive shipments of various products, such as vegetables and packaged goods, sort them into the correct storage areas, and update inventory levels in real-time.

Sales and Dispatch

 Create sales orders, dispatch them to the warehouse for packing, and generate invoices for accounting, keeping trace of items at all levels. For instance, a distributor can receive an order for bakery supplies, quickly prepare the order, and dispatch it while simultaneously invoicing the client

Efficient Pick and Pack Process: Linbis streamlines the outbound dispatching process using advanced pick and pack methods. Warehouse staff are guided by the software to pick the correct items for each order, pack them efficiently, and prepare them for dispatch. This process is facilitated by an intuitive user interface that displays order details and the most efficient routes through the warehouse.
