Tag’n’Track for Food & Beverage

Keep food safe, stock fresh and crates in circulation. Tag’n’Track automates the processes that move food from supplier to plate: receiving, cold storage, kitchen assets and returnables.

Overview

How Tag’n’Track helps food and beverage businesses

Tag’n’Track for Food & Beverage combines warehouse, asset and sensor tracking for producers, distributors, caterers and restaurant groups. Batches and expiry dates are recorded at receiving, temperatures are monitored automatically, kitchen equipment is accounted for, and returnable crates are followed between sites, so food safety checks and stock control run without paperwork.

Challenges

Industry challenges

Cold chain breaks

A temperature excursion in storage or transport is often found too late.

Expiry and waste

Stock expires on the shelf because first-expiry-first-out is hard to follow.

Lost returnables

Crates, kegs and roll cages disappear between depots, stores and customers.

Paper food-safety checks

Temperature logs and hygiene checklists are incomplete and hard to audit.

Processes

Processes we automate

Each step from delivery to service, and how it is automated.

Receiving and batch capture

Deliveries are read at the dock with batch and expiry data and checked against the order.

Solution: Warehouse & Logistics Management ›

Cold storage monitoring

Sensors in fridges, freezers and vehicles alert the team the moment a temperature goes out of range.

Solution: Facility Management ›

Stock rotation

Picking guidance follows first-expiry-first-out, and items near expiry are flagged.

Kitchen equipment control

Ovens, mixers, utensils and smallwares are registered and counted across kitchens.

Solution: Organisational Asset Management ›

Returnable crate tracking

Crates and kegs are scanned out and back, with balances per store or customer.

Food-safety checklists

Staff scan a checkpoint to complete hygiene and temperature checks on site.

Research

What the research shows

Independent industry findings, not Tag’n’Track results.

Food waste

About 19% of food available to consumers, around 1.05 billion tonnes, was wasted in 2022; food service alone accounted for 290 million tonnes (UNEP Food Waste Index Report 2024).

Integrations

Industry integrations

POS and ordering

Sales and orders linked to stock and expiry.

Transport and delivery

Hardware

Hardware that fits your site, your process and your budget

Tag’n’Track works with RFID, NFC, QR codes, barcodes, IoT sensors and GPS from all leading manufacturers, so you are never tied to one brand. Every recommendation is based on your requirements, a site survey and your budget.

Typical choices: food-safe labels, rugged tags for crates and kegs, temperature sensors and data loggers, fixed readers at dock doors, handheld readers and NFC checkpoints for hygiene checks.

Start simple, grow to full automation. Begin with handheld readers in one area, prove the value, then add fixed readers, gates and sensors step by step.
