Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureFreshly is designed for retailers, suppliers, and other players in the distribution chain selling CPGs, perishables, or regulated products such as food & beverages, cosmetics, cannabis, and pharmaceuticals. Track products in-stores, online, and POS by batch or lot to more effectively manage expiration dates, inventory levels, reduce product spoilage, manage product recalls, and limit available daily stock.
Lot Comfort adds lot, batch, and expiry tracking to inventory operations. Capture lot number and expiry while receiving, see per-lot on-hand by location, guide pickers to the first-expiring lot, and block expired stock unless a reviewer overrides with a reason. If a recall happens, search a lot number to find affected orders, locations, ship dates, and export-ready packets.
- Automate expiry processes using stock rotation methods (FEFO/FIFO).
- Optimize perishable and seasonal inventory with automatic discounts.
- Optionally show expiry dates to customers on product pages.
- Be prepared for audits & recalls by tracing customer orders to the batch level.
- Capture lot numbers and expiry dates at receiving
- Name the FEFO lot to pull on pick lists
- Search a lot to find affected orders and ship dates
