Real-time Inventory Tracking for Food Manufacturers

May 5, 2025
Jordyn Warosh

Production delays caused by unexpected stock-outs or valuable capital tied up in excess inventory can be incredibly costly for food manufacturers. And at Nelson-Jameson, we work every day with organizations that face these unique demands in the food processing industry. 

Through that experience, we have tailored our inventory solutions to provide unparalleled visibility and control over your essential materials, including (but not limited to!) personal protective equipment (PPE) and cleaning supplies to specialized testing equipment and maintenance parts.

Having a live, up-to-the-second view of your critical supplies can be a game changer for food manufacturers that must be nimble around the clock with constant access to the tools they need. Our advanced inventory systems empower just that, allowing you to move beyond manual counts and reactive ordering. With our technology, you gain instant insights into exactly what you have on hand, where it's located, and how quickly it's being used, and when to restock supplies.

This continuous monitoring empowers your organization to make smarter decisions, faster. No more guessing games about when to reorder or how much you need at a given moment. 

Nelson-Jameson solutions feature:

  • Automatic alerts when stock levels reach pre-defined thresholds, ensuring you're always ahead of potential shortages.
  • The ability to track the movement of items throughout your facility, providing accountability and reducing the risk of loss.
  • Comprehensive data on usage patterns, helping you identify trends, optimize consumption, and prevent unnecessary accumulation of materials.
  • Controlled access to specific items, ensuring that the right personnel have access to what they need, when they need it.
  • Detailed records of every transaction, providing a clear audit trail for compliance and internal analysis.
By implementing our inventory management solutions, you can experience:

  • Minimized downtime due to readily available supplies.
  • Reduced carrying costs by optimizing inventory levels.
  • Improved planning and budgeting with accurate usage data.
  • Enhanced efficiency by streamlining material access and reducing time spent searching for items.
  • Stronger compliance with food safety and other regulatory requirements through better control and documentation.

“This continuous monitoring empowers your organization to make smarter decisions, faster. No more guessing games about when to reorder or how much you need at a given moment.”
