Food & Beverage Warehousing Capabilities
Our solution
Your customers count on you to deliver fast, flexible service. But when every client has their own rules, workflows, and SLAs, your WMS can’t slow you down. Footprint® WMS makes it easy to adapt because you can quickly configure labels, billing, inventory logic, and portals by customer. With Datex, 3PLs run smoother, scale faster, and stay ready for whatever comes next.
Inventory Management
Smarter Rotation for Safer Products
Keep every SKU moving with confidence using real-time inventory control built to enforce FIFO, FEFO, and shelf-life rules automatically. Whether it’s chilled, frozen, or dry, Datex Footprint WMS ensures perishable goods are stored, rotated, and shipped to reduce spoilage and maximize freshness at every touchpoint.


Track & Trace
Fast, Accurate Recall Response
Trace every lot and ingredient across your supply chain with built-in serialization, vendor history, and expiry tracking. With complete digital visibility from receiving to shipment, you can respond to recall events in seconds rather than hours. Plus, audit-ready reports give you everything you need to provide regulators without having to scramble.
Quality Control
Catch Product Issues Before They Hit the Shelf
Automated quality checks and temperature monitoring help you identify and isolate problems fast so you don’t waste product or risk customer satisfaction. Whether it’s incoming inspections or on-the-fly audits, the system logs every action and photo, giving you a full record of what passed, what failed, and why.
