Manufacturing food products requires a delicate balance of expiration dates, FDA regulations, consumer demand, and more. If done incorrectly, the production process can be halted, resources may be wasted, and customers may be dissatisfied.
To combat this, an automated inventory management system can take away the possibility of error and replace it with efficiency, accuracy, and a buffet of tools and features to get the job done.
Why is Inventory Management Important?
As in any industry, the supply and demand of goods is constantly fluctuating due to competition, resource availability, and consumer preferences. The food production industry is no exception, especially in our post-pandemic world with spiked demand for goods, which results in food manufacturers increasing supply and modifying inventory. 
If there isn't already reason enough to automate the inventory management system to ensure a seamless production process from start to finish, add in the constraint of expiration dates and product perishability. Because food products require specific temperatures and timelines, it is increasingly important to ensure clean oversight on the flow of goods from manufacturers to consumers' kitchens.
Food Production requires accurate measurements, FDA guidelines, and strict adherence to protocol to ensure no resources are wasted and the end goods are up-to-par. This is where Order Time can help, especially as a Barcode Management System.
