If you’re running a multi-location food business, you’re not just moving inventory—you’re managing freshness, compliance, and customer satisfaction, all under tight timelines. In an industry where a single delay in dispatch can ruin shelf life, outdated manual systems simply don’t cut it anymore.
So how do fast-scaling food and beverage brands like Haldiram and Barbeque Nation manage their warehouse network efficiently?
They adopt warehouse automation through ERP for the food packaging industry—and they partner with Nowara Infotech, a Microsoft-certified implementation expert.
Why Manual Warehouse Operations Are Holding You Back
Most food businesses still rely on Excel sheets, siloed software, and manual tracking systems. Here’s what that looks like in reality:
| Challenge | Impact |
| No Real-Time Stock Visibility | Out-of-stock items, overstocking, and expired goods |
| Slow Order Fulfillment | Dispatch delays, missed SLAs, and lost revenue |
| No Batch Traceability | Increased risk during recalls and compliance audits |
| High Labor Dependency | Human errors and inefficiencies during peak demand |
According to a 2024 survey by FICCI, food brands without ERP experience up to 18–20% higher wastage and 30% slower fulfillment rates compared to automated counterparts.
