Organizations that sell products within the food manufacturing industry often benefit immensely from the implementation of a yard management system (YMS) that integrates with a warehouse management system (WMS) because it allows for complete and efficient collection control of information about each product received, stocked, packed, and transported. In the modern world, consumers want to know where their food is coming from, if it is organic, plant-based, or meat-based, just to name a few. Consumers also want to know how their food is packaged, if packaging has changed due to an increase in regulations, or if there was a spike in plastic bans. Plus, the boom of e-commerce has bestowed new challenges on the manufacturing and distribution process. With all these challenges in mind, YardView’s best-in-class yard management software provides the solution you need.
