Batch-Level Replenishment Control for Fresh Products in Central Warehouses
Case study showing how Tuko Logistics used batch-level inventory and spoilage simulation to automate fresh-product replenishment and reduce manual effort.
Tuko Logistics implemented RELEX replenishment software that integrates real-time batch stock data and sell-by dates from its warehouse management and back-end systems. The solution simulates spoilage for each batch and triggers replenishment orders automatically before stock expires. Results included lower labor requirements, improved availability of short-shelf-life items, and controlled spoilage rates while sharing more accurate demand signals with suppliers.
Batch-level inventory visibility enables precise control of short-shelf-life SKUs
Sell-by date integration and spoilage simulation trigger automated replenishment
Labor hours for daily fresh-product planning dropped significantly after go-live
On-shelf availability improved while spoilage remained within target limits
More accurate demand data flows upstream to suppliers
