You know which batch goes out, and it’s the right one.
Real stock by batch and date: what comes in, what goes out and what has to go before it expires.
It’s not “stock control”. It’s knowing that L-2418 expires in nine days and goes out before yesterday’s box — nobody has to remember.
You don’t stop waste at the bin: you stop it a week earlier, with a warning in time.
The journey of L-2418, hour by hour.
Goods in
The box is scanned: SKU, batch and expiry date. No date, no goods in.
Location
The handheld confirms store 2, level 3, slot A-14. Now you know where it is.
FEFO proposal
Overnight, Larstel sorts the day's picks: whatever expires first goes out first.
Out on route 02
18 units come off stock and travel in the van, which is still a warehouse.
Delivered
Cafetería Sol signs. The batch stays tied to that customer and that delivery note.
All Larstel knows about a batch.
One screen. Where it came from, where it is, who got it and what’s left. It’s the one you open when the health authority calls or a customer returns a box.
Every delivery comes with its batch and its expiry date. With no date, goods in won't close.
FEFO: the pick suggested is always the batch that expires first, not the box that's closest to hand.
Waste is logged with a reason. At month end you know what you lose and why, not just how much.
You know which customers got every unit. A recall takes minutes, not an afternoon.
Count without closing the warehouse.
The annual Saturday stocktake is over. Your operator counts on a phone what Larstel asks for, and stock is corrected only where it's wrong.
You count zone by zone, not all at once
Four cycle counts a month: one aisle a week, with the warehouse working.
The van is a warehouse too
What leaves the building stays counted until it’s delivered or comes back. It never drops off stock.
Differences have a reason
Breakage, expired, returned or a goods-in error. At month end you know why, not just how much.
Example from a typical distributor: four cycle counts a month, ±0.4% variance and nine days of warning before expiry. The calendar that suits you comes out of the diagnostic.
Real traceability, not a ticked box.
All of it comes as standard: no separate modules, no three-month project. If something in your warehouse isn’t on the list, tell us.
Do I have to buy handheld scanners?
No. The app reads the codes with the camera on any recent Android phone. If you already have scanners, we use them; if you’d rather have handhelds, we tell you which ones and what they cost, with no margin for us.
What if the operator skips FEFO?
They can skip it, and it’s logged: who, when, and which batch they took instead of the one proposed. You can require a reason before that pick can be closed.
Does it work for a health authority recall?
Yes. From the batch, one screen shows which customers got each unit, with the delivery date and the delivery note number. That’s exactly what they’ll ask you for.
Does the van count as a warehouse?
Yes. Every van is a mobile warehouse with its own stock: what leaves the building stays counted and traced until it’s delivered or comes back to be unloaded.
Show us your stock spreadsheet and we’ll tell you what waste is costing you.
30 minutes, no strings attached. If your system is fine, we’ll tell you that too.
