Key features to simplify, save and scale your food & beverage business
Inventory visibility
The demand for fast delivery is affecting the whole F&B supply chain. You must optimize operations to meet these expectations. Providing online inventory visibility via your B2B ecommerce platform increases customer satisfaction and minimizes orders for out-of-stock items. Integration with your enterprise (ERP) system ensures your customers can always see your latest inventory levels.
Traceability
Improving food safety and keeping consumers informed is essential in the F&B sector. Serialized order management streamlines tracking and control of your products. You can generate serialized stock numbers using your preferred software and allocate them automatically when customers place their orders. You can track shipments, confirm deliveries and simplify product recalls if needed.
Easy reordering
Many of your customers order the same items time and again. Easy reordering tools allow your customers to email or upload Excel orders for fulfillment via Cloudfy, for example. Alternatively, they can save templates and favorites lists to update and send whenever they need to place an order with just one click.
Large product catalogs
Managing a product catalog with hundreds or even thousands of F&B items is a major administrative overhead. Cloudfy provides a robust and dynamic solution purpose designed for complex ordering in the F&B sector. You can use the out-of-the-box product information management (PIM)features or integrate with your own third- party PIM software.
Direct to consumer sales
You don’t need a separate website to sell directly to consumers (PIM) as well as your channel partners. It’s easy to share some or all your products at retail prices with a guest checkout for consumers. At the same time registered trade customers can login to purchase at their contracted prices and manage their accounts online.
Customer Self Service
Customer self-service speeds up sales and reduces errors. Your customers can discover, browse and choose your products easily and efficiently. With a frictionless checkout and easy payment options ordering is simple and problem-free. You can deliver seamless end-to-end online experiences and customers can manage their accounts, orders, and enquiries online.
