A good rule of thumb here is, that if a product is not designed to last for more than 3 years, it can be classified as expendable &#8211; and therefore the product is a form of FMCG.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">That means that many of the wares in your local supermarket for example, falls under the category of FMCG.

That means that a FMCG-business&#8217; goal are to sell as many products as they can &#8211; as fast as they can.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore it is also important for FMCG-businesses to continually deliver quality products, that continuously get their customers to return to buy their products again and again. This also means that factors such as innovation and product development is crucial for a FMCG-business&#8217; success. Plainly, this also means that FMCG-businesses have a 100% overview of which products they have in stock, including all the products expiration dates and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your business works with fast-moving consumer goods the challenges surrounding the products&#8217; perishability increases the importance of your production running smoothly every day. There are multiple reasons for this &#8211; including:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You <a href=\"https:\/\/rackbeat.com\/en\/what-is-inventory-and-how-do-you-bookkeep-it\/\" rel=\"noopener\">inventory<\/a> needs to be optimized to handle and organize many types of products with differing needs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because FMCG are expendable, it is crucial to keep track of how large an amount of each product the business produces. Here it is especially important that you are not producing or buying more than you can sell before the products perishability is exceeded.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you work with expiration dates it is also important to keep an overview of your shipments, both inbound and outbound. Without an overview of shipments you are opening up to mistakes that can stop or delay the products from getting to your customers in time, resulting in product waste.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of these factors, FMCG-businesses are required to have a full overview of inventory &#8211; and smart warehouse management can help you automate this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get the full overview of FMCG-production with Rackbeat<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rackbeats Warehouse Management System makes it possible for businesses that work with\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">fast-moving consumer goods, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">to congregate their entire production flow in one system.
