Indianapolis, IN -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/08/2015 -- Elliot Maras noted in Food Logistics that the regulatory requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), requires food transporters gather more information with greater frequency. This week in System Integration News, the feature article profiled how food distribution facilities must have written plans to manage possible food safety issues. Facilities will soon be required to implement a written preventive control plan, provide for the monitoring of the performance of those controls, and specify the corrective actions the facility will take when necessary.

The growth of e-commerce gives new urgency for food and beverage companies to reach customers through more points of sale than the traditional retail store. This foists upon them the need to manage more SKUs, more caseloads, and more varying (and often unpredictable) workloads in just about all aspects of warehouse operations. Companies that want to survive in the "omni-channel" age need warehouse management software that will allow them to manage more complex warehouse operations. The "omni-channel," in requiring a greater variety of SKUs and package sizes, builds on a host of market forces pushing food and beverage manufacturers to reconsider their warehousing and transportation needs. These "drivers" include global trade (representing both new competition and growth opportunities) and the disproportionate growth in recent years of the foodservice market in addition to the retail market.
