In today’s fast-paced supply chain environment, effective batch-wise inventory management is crucial for businesses handling perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing components. Keeping track of batch numbers, expiry dates, and stock movements manually can be error-prone and time-consuming.
To overcome these challenges, businesses are increasingly adopting Low-Code/No-Code solutions to automate inventory processes. These platforms allow companies to develop customized inventory management applications without requiring extensive coding knowledge, leading to faster implementation, reduced costs, and improved efficiency.
At Rapidomize.com, organizations can leverage powerful low code/no code tools to build and deploy intelligent batch inventory management solutions quickly and efficiently.
Challenges in Traditional Batch-Wise Inventory Management
Traditional batch-wise inventory management faces several key challenges:
- Manual Data Entry Errors – Entering batch details manually leads to inaccuracies.
- Limited Real-Time Visibility – Difficulties in tracking stock levels and expiry dates in real-time.
- Compliance & Expiry Risks – Industries like pharmaceuticals and food require strict adherence to expiration guidelines.
- Inefficient Stock Rotation – Poor execution of FIFO (First-In-First-Out) or FEFO (First-Expire-First-Out) strategies.
- Lack of Automation – Manual processing delays reordering and disposal of expired products.
To address these challenges, we have developed a Low-Code/No-Code-based approach, enabling automated workflows, real-time tracking, and better inventory control.
How to Build a Custom Inventory Solution Using Rapidomize.com’s Low-Code/No-Code Platform
Step 1: Set Up Data Storage
Choose a storage location to store batch details. Store data such as:
- Product Name
- Batch Number
- Manufacturing Date
- Expiry Date
- Stock Quantity
- Warehouse Location
- Status (Active/Expired)
Step 2: Create a Batch Entry Form (Manual/Barcode Scanning)
- Use Low-Code/No-Code tools to create an automated data entry form.
- Enable barcode scanning for faster batch data entry.
- Save the collected data in the specified storage location.
Step 3: Automate Expiry Alerts & Stock Rotation
A Rapidomize automation workflow is created to check batch expiry and stock movement every 24 hours (or as per your need):
- Trigger: Scheduled workflow runs daily.
- Action: Fetches batch records from Rapidomize’s cloud database or your storage.
- Condition: Compares Expiry Date to today’s date.
- If Expiring Soon (≤ 30 Days) → Send alert email/SMS to warehouse manager.
- If Stock Below Minimum Threshold → Auto-trigger a purchase order request.
Step 4: Automate FEFO Stock Movement
- A workflow is created in Rapidomize.com to recommend the oldest batch first for picking.
- Warehouse staff receive pick-list notifications prioritizing batches nearing expiry.
Step 5: Create a Real-Time Dashboard for Batch Tracking
Using Rapidomize’s analytics tools, a dashboard is developed to provide:
- Batch-wise Stock Levels
- Expiry Forecast & Alerts
- Stock Movement Trends
