What is inventory management software?
Inventory management software records what stock you hold, where it sits and how it moves. For food and other perishables it also tracks expiry dates, batches and lots so the oldest stock ships first. Agnotic Technologies builds inventory management software for food and beverage warehouses, distributors and producers, connected to ERP, WMS and MES.
For perishable goods, inventory is a clock: the software rotates stock by FEFO, alerts you before product expires and keeps counts accurate with barcode and RFID scanning and product traceability.
What it is
Inventory that respects the clock
A shelf-life-aware inventory platform tracks expiry dates, batches, and lots, rotates stock by FEFO, and gives real-time visibility and automated expiry alerts across every location.
Connected to ERP, WMS, and MES, it keeps perishable inventory accurate, fresh, and traceable from receipt to dispatch.
What do we build into inventory management software?
Each capability keeps stock fresh, accurate, and traceable across every location.
Expiration Date Tracking
Track expiry dates at the batch and unit level across all stock.
Batch & Lot Management
Manage inventory by batch and lot for traceability and rotation.
FEFO Inventory Rotation
First-expired-first-out picking so the oldest stock moves first.
Real-Time Inventory Visibility
Live stock levels and locations across warehouses on any device.
Warehouse Stock Monitoring
Monitor stock, movements, and cold-storage zones in real time.
Barcode / RFID Integration
Barcode and RFID scanning for fast, accurate receipt and picking.
Product Traceability
Trace product by batch and lot from receipt through dispatch.
Automated Expiry Alerts
Alerts before product expires so it sells, discounts, or moves in time.
Inventory Forecasting & Compliance
Demand forecasting plus compliance reporting for perishable goods.
Where it runs
Who uses shelf-life inventory software?
Food, beverage, pharma, and perishable-goods operations that manage expiry and batches.
Cold-storage operators
Real-time monitoring of temperature-controlled zones.
Distributors & 3PLs
Batch traceability and accurate counts across sites.
Pharma & perishables
Expiry-driven rotation with full lot traceability.
Manufacturers
Raw-material shelf life tied to production and MES.
Operations & finance
Less shrink, fewer write-offs, tighter working capital.
Why it matters
Sell it before it expires
- Cut write-offs by rotating stock FEFO
- Get ahead of expiry with automated alerts
- Keep counts accurate with barcode/RFID
- Trace any batch from receipt to dispatch
- See real-time stock across every warehouse
- Forecast demand and report compliance from live data
Expired stock is pure loss
Product that ages out on the shelf is cost with no revenue. Shelf-life-aware inventory turns that loss into sold product.

Facts and sources
What do GS1 and FSMA 204 expect from inventory data?
Short facts we design lot, expiry and traceability records around, each linked to its primary source.
GS1 Application Identifier (17) carries a product's expiration date as six digits in YYMMDD format, the "use by" or expiry date encoded in GS1 barcodes and EPC/RFID tags.
Source: GS1 Application Identifiers: AI (17)GS1 Application Identifier (10) carries the batch or lot number, up to 20 alphanumeric characters.
Source: GS1 Application Identifiers: AI (10)Under FDA's food traceability rule, 21 CFR 1.1320, a traceability lot code for a food on the Food Traceability List must be assigned when a firm initially packs a raw agricultural commodity, first receives food from a fishing vessel on land, or transforms a food, and not when it only ships the food.
Source: 21 CFR 1.1320 (eCFR)Under 21 CFR 1.1455(c), traceability records must be made available to an authorized FDA representative within 24 hours of a request, or within another reasonable time FDA agrees to.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is built around shelf life. Expiry dates, batches, and FEFO rotation drive the picking and stock logic, so the system optimizes for freshness and traceability, not just quantity on hand. That is what matters for food, beverage, pharma, and other perishables that a generic quantity-only system simply ignores until product ages out.
Yes. Picking is driven first-expired-first-out so the oldest stock moves before newer stock, cutting write-offs. It also supports FIFO and batch- or customer-specific rules where those apply, so a product with a strict shelf life and one without can follow different rotation logic in the same warehouse.
Yes. It tracks stock, movements, and temperature-controlled zones across multiple warehouses in real time, with transfers and per-site counts rolling up into one view. That keeps counts accurate whether stock sits in ambient, chilled, or frozen zones and moves between sites.
Receipt, put-away, picking, and dispatch are confirmed by scanning barcodes or RFID rather than keyed by hand, so the recorded batch, expiry, and location match what physically moved. That removes the transcription errors that let phantom stock and mis-picks build up between physical counts.
Every unit is tied to its batch and lot from receipt through dispatch, so you can trace a suspect batch to the customers and locations that received it straight from the system rather than reconstructing it from paperwork. That supports a targeted recall and the FSMA 204 records FDA can request within 24 hours.
Automated alerts flag stock approaching expiry early enough to sell, discount, or move it before it becomes a write-off, and demand forecasting tunes replenishment so you order to what will actually sell within shelf life. Together they turn ageing stock into revenue instead of loss and tighten the working capital tied up in inventory.
