- Lot and expiry captured by scan, not keyed from paperwork
- FIFO and FEFO rules at the pick, with quality holds

Questions before you book
Do we need a food ERP, or warehouse software?
If your ERP handles orders and accounting well and the trouble is in the warehouse (wrong lots, lost pallets, counts that never match), software alongside the ERP is the smaller change. That is what Endpoint does.
Does it work for food and beverage distributors?
Yes. Lot capture, FIFO and FEFO picking and lot trace work the same in a distribution warehouse. Production features apply only if you make product.
Will it help with FSMA 204?
Endpoint records receiving, production and shipping by lot, so a lot's history comes from scans, not paperwork. The rule itself sets who is covered and which records to keep.
