Food Distribution Challenges You
Face Daily
Food distributors work in a high‑speed, high‑risk environment — and every delay
or error can cost inventory, clients, or credibility
Managing expiration dates and batch traceability is non‑negotiable in food distribution
Orders come in daily — often requiring same‑day or next‑day delivery. Picking and shipping must be fast and accurate
You often manage several storage points — from cold storage to in‑transit inventory — and need to know stock levels at all times
Without automation, missed expiry, delivery delays, and incorrect shipments are inevitable

Food Distribution Software Success Stories
Before Kladana, we were doing everything in Excel. All the stock and production records were maintained in spreadsheets. We weren’t able to arrange timely updates for the information about warehouse stocks: the materials we were receiving, the goods we were shipping.
In Kladana, we found the functionality we were looking for. In combination with affordability, it worked as a decisive factor. Another important area is tracking the amount of yield our company is getting. In this respect Kladana is suitable to our requirements, and we are going to start using the Financials module of the solution.
In Kladana we process sales orders, make sales invoices in pdf, and manage shipments. All bills of materials are stored in the software. All production stages are reflected in Kladana.
We have three warehouses: one for raw materials, one for production, and one for finished goods. We add the purchased materials to Inventory in Kladana, and the raw materials are transferred to production. In production, they are processed in a production order. Then the finished goods appear in another warehouse. Thus, 1,500 bottles are moved from one warehouse to another in a couple of clicks.
