Effective warehouse management is crucial in regulated sectors like food, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices. In this blog we highlight its importance and three ways that LAKE solutions based on SAP Business One can help.
Warehouse management must maintain the integrity of sensitive products. SAP Business One allows the creation of zone types to ensure that items are stored in appropriate conditions. These could be for temperature control, or for the storage of allergens, hazardous materials, or high-value items.
You can also set up rules and restrictions for each zone, such as access control, storage conditions, and handling procedures to reduce the risk of contamination, spoilage, and other hazards.
In the event of a product recall, efficient warehouse management allows for quick identification and isolation of affected products. This minimises risk to consumers and ensures regulatory compliance. SAP Business One advanced traceability enables you to track items from receipt to shipment, including components, ingredients and finished products with detailed forwards and backwards traceability reporting.
Rigorous quality checks are necessary to verify the authenticity and maintain the integrity of products. SAP Business One can automate quality control processes such as temperature checks or vehicle/driver attributes as goods are received into the warehouse. Automation reduces scope for human error and ensures consistent quality standards.
SAP Business One can also generate alerts for products with allergens during the receiving and storage processes. This ensures that these items are handled correctly to prevent cross-contamination.
These are just some of the ways that LAKE and SAP Business One can help your business. To find our more, download one of our guides to SAP Business One.
