Food products demand more from logistics than any other industry. Expiration dates, temperature control, and batch tracking aren’t optional — they’re requirements. Whether you manage your own warehouse, outsource your logistics, or want to ship smarter, Monta has the solution for your food brand.
Expiration date registration and FEFO processing for food and beverages
Fulfillment for food: shipped fresh, never expired
Every day counts with food products. Monta registers the expiration date of every product on arrival and processes orders using 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 inventory. That protects not just your customers, but your brand's reputation too.
Expiration date registration: On arrival, Monta registers the expiration date of every product, so items are never shipped past their expiration 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 shipped out in order of arrival for optimal inventory rotation.
Batch registration: Every batch is registered on receipt for full traceability and a fast response in the event of a recall.
Real-time insight: Through MontaPortal, customers always have insight into the expiration status of their inventory.
Climate-controlled storage and sustainable packaging
Storage tailored to your product, from dry to chilled
Food products come in all shapes and forms, and each requires different storage conditions. Monta manages temperature and humidity by product type, from dry goods to chilled products. Packaging is matched to the product and the carrier, so quality is protected in transit too. Monta is also developing sustainable packaging solutions and eco-friendly shipping options, in line with the growing demand for responsible logistics in the food industry.
Climate control: Monta sets temperature and humidity by product type for optimal storage conditions.
Dry and chilled: Both dry goods and chilled products are stored in the right environment, with food safety in mind.
Custom packaging: Packaging is matched to the product and the carrier to prevent quality loss during transport.
Sustainable options: Monta uses sustainable packaging materials and eco-friendly shipping options for responsible logistics.
D2C and B2B: Monta handles both consumer orders and deliveries to retailers and resellers from the same operation.
The right storage conditions for every food product, taken care of.
What our customers say about us
"Partly thanks to our 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 fulfillment lets us offer every customer a smooth, 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 with XMPIE. Our packing process is now many times more efficient. Orders are now printed and prepared fully automatically, without any manual work. The result? A packing process that's far more efficient than before. But maybe the best part is that our work hasn't just gotten more efficient — it's also become a lot more enjoyable."
Natascha te Nijenhuis | Owner
"Onboarding went smoothly, and everything has run like clockwork ever since. From printing labels to tracking our orders — it's simple and fast. What stands out most is that Monta genuinely thinks along with us. They proactively come up with improvements and ideas. It doesn't feel like a service provider, but like a real partner. We're fans."
Warehouse software developed from practice, for practice
Smart software developed in the field
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. It's not a theoretical system — it's software that really works on the floor.
Real-time insight into expiration data: you always see up-to-date expiration data by location, batch, and product in MontaWMS.
Repackaging function: MontaWMS supports splitting multipacks and rebooking individual products into the correct sales packaging.
Automatic FIFO pick recommendations: For every order, the system automatically selects products based on arrival date, so the oldest stock is always picked first.
Batch registration: batches can be registered (even retroactively), so in the event of a recall, you always know which orders contain which products.
Chilled pick flows: MontaWMS integrates with production systems and supports temperature-controlled pick flows for chilled or frozen products.
In the food and beverage industry, your assortment changes quickly, and new product launches bring spikes in order volume. MontaWMS scales smoothly with you, whether you process 100 or 10,000 orders a day. The repackaging function makes scanning both individual products and multipacks fast and error-free. Chilled pick flows are managed separately, so temperature-sensitive products move through the warehouse the right way.
Warehouse Flow: tasks are scheduled and assigned to the right employees, so nothing gets forgotten — even during peak periods.
Gamification: software that motivates warehouse staff to work as fast and accurately as possible and earn credits for it.
Packing machine: the packing machine folds a custom-sized box around every product, reducing material use and shipping costs.
