Food products place higher demands on logistics than any other industry. Best-before data, temperature control and batch registration are not optional, but requirements. Whether you manage your own warehouse or outsource your logistics, Monta has the solution for your food brand.
Never a product shipped past its best-before date.
BBD registration and FEFO processing for food products and beverages
Food fulfilment: shipped fresh, never out of date
With food products, every day counts. Monta registers the best-before date of every product on arrival and processes orders according to FEFO, so products with the shortest shelf life are always shipped first. Batch registration makes recalls fast and targeted, without having to block your entire stock. This protects not only your customers, but also your brand's reputation.
BBD registration: On arrival, Monta registers the best-before date of every product, so products are never shipped after their expiry date.
FEFO processing: Products with the shortest shelf life are picked and shipped first, keeping waste to a minimum.
FIFO for seasonal products: Seasonal items are dispatched in order of arrival for optimal stock rotation.
Batch registration: Every batch is registered on receipt for full traceability and a fast response in the event of recalls.
Real-time insight: Via MontaPortal, clients always have insight into the shelf life status of their stock.
Climate-controlled storage and sustainable packaging
Storage tailored to your needs, from dry to chilled
Food products come in all shapes and sizes, and each one calls for different storage conditions. Monta manages temperature and humidity per product type, from dry goods to chilled products. Packaging is tailored to the product and the carrier, so quality is safeguarded even in transit. Monta is also working on sustainable packaging solutions and environmentally friendly shipping options, in line with the growing demand for responsible logistics in the food industry.
Climate control: Monta sets temperature and humidity per product type for optimal storage conditions.
Dry and chilled: Both dry goods and chilled products are stored in the right environment, with attention to food safety.
Tailored packaging: Packaging is matched to the product and the carrier to prevent quality loss during transport.
Sustainable options: Monta works with sustainable packaging materials and environmentally friendly shipping options for responsible logistics.
D2C and B2B: Monta processes both consumer orders and deliveries to retailers and resellers from the same operation.
The right storage conditions arranged for every food product.
This is what our customers say about us
"Partly thanks to the partnership with Monta, Lindt Benelux has tripled its online revenue in two years. The combination of flexibility, a personal approach and both automated and manual fulfilment ensures we can offer every customer a smooth and reliable ordering and delivery experience. With Monta as a partner, we can keep growing and meet consumers' high expectations."
Ramon Doomen | Omnichannel Manager
"We integrated MontaWMS together with XMPIE. Our packing process is now many times more efficient. Orders are now fully automatically printed and prepared, without manual intervention. The result? A packing process that is many times more efficient than before. But perhaps the best effect is that our work has become not only more efficient, but also a lot more enjoyable."
Natascha te Nijenhuis | Owner
"Onboarding went smoothly and everything has been running like clockwork ever since. From printing labels to keeping track of our orders — it's simple and fast. What stands out most to us is that Monta really thinks along with us. They proactively come up with improvements and ideas. It doesn't feel like a service provider, but like a genuine partner. We're big fans."
Warehouse software developed from practice, for practice
Smart software developed in practice
From MontaWMS, for food products
Because we use MontaWMS ourselves every day in our own warehouses, the features for food have already been developed and tested. Not a theoretical system, but software that really works on the shop floor.
Real-time insight into best-before data: you always see the current best-before data per location, batch and product in MontaWMS.
Repacking function: MontaWMS supports splitting multi-packs and repacking loose products into the correct sales packaging.
Automatic FIFO picking guidance: the system automatically selects products for every order based on arrival date, so the oldest stock is always picked first.
Batch registration: batches can be registered (even retrospectively), so that in the event of a recall you always know which orders contain which products.
Chilled picking flows: MontaWMS integrates with production systems and supports temperature-controlled picking flows for chilled or frozen products.
In the food and beverage industry, your range changes quickly and new product launches bring peaks in order flow. MontaWMS scales smoothly with you, whether you process 100 or 10,000 orders a day. The repacking function makes scanning both loose products and multi-packs fast and error-free. Chilled picking flows are managed separately, so temperature-sensitive products move through the warehouse in the right way.
Warehouse Flow: tasks are planned and assigned to the right staff, so nothing gets forgotten, even during busy periods.
Gamification: software to motivate warehouse staff to process orders as quickly and accurately as possible, earning credits along the way.
Packing machine: the packaging machine folds a custom-sized box around each product, which reduces material use and shipping costs.
