Short shelf life, tight receiving windows and direct-store delivery leave no room for paperwork. SPS plans around the windows, records every case at the door and keeps lot and date data on the labels.
Food and beverage distributors deliver to supermarkets, restaurants and kiosks that each have a narrow receiving window - miss it and the load waits, or comes back. On the same route, drivers collect expired goods, empty crates and deposit containers.
When the delivery record is a paper note signed in a hurry, disputes over damaged cases, short deliveries and returned products are hard to settle. Credits pile up, and nobody can say which delivery they belong to.
Then there is the paperwork that follows the goods: supplier invoices for ingredients and packaging, credit requests from stores, and quality documents from producers. When each of these lives in a different inbox, closing the month takes days instead of hours.
