Food and beverage, lot by lot. Recipes, expiry dates and orders in one system.
Food businesses work with perishable stock, recipes and tight delivery windows. Dika Ops tracks lots and expiry dates from supplier to customer and connects recipes to production and purchasing.
What slows food & beverage down.
Stock that expires before it is sold is a direct loss. Oldest stock must leave first.
When a supplier reports a problem, you must quickly find which lots went to which customers.
Chilled, frozen and ambient products live in different areas and need to be kept apart in the records.
Ingredient costs change often, and real yield differs from the recipe. Cost per unit is hard to trust.
Lots and expiry dates
Receive stock by lot, record the expiry date and see what must be sold first.
- Lot numbers on receipts and shipments

- Stock lookup by lot
Recipes as bills of materials
Define each product as a recipe of ingredients and packaging, and produce it through work orders.

Storage zones
Organise warehouses into zones, such as chilled, frozen and dry, and keep stock in the right one.

The modules you will use.
Food & beverage, answered.
Can we track expiry dates?
Yes. Stock is held by lot with an expiry date, so you can see what expires soon and sell it first.
Can we trace a lot to customers?
Receipts and shipments carry lot numbers, so you can follow a lot from supplier to customer.
Does it support recipes?
Yes. A recipe is a bill of materials of ingredients and packaging, and production runs through work orders.
Can we separate chilled and ambient stock?
Yes. Warehouses can be organised into locations, so each storage zone is recorded separately.
