These problems are quietly eroding your brand's safety credibility and channel margins
Raw material batches, production dates, inspection reports and delivery records are scattered across every stage. When a food safety incident occurs, trace-back investigations are time-consuming and can't be completed within regulatory deadlines.
Multi-tier distributors make inventory and sell-in data opaque at every level. Diversion and predatory pricing are hard to detect and act on, continuously eroding the brand's price structure.
Temperature and humidity throughout cold storage and transport are checked and logged manually. Data is discontinuous; when a cold chain break occurs, accountability is unclear and product losses are enormous.
FIFO rotation is inconsistently enforced, and near-expiry alerts are not timely — leading to large volumes of expired products and persistently high wastage rates that tie up capital.
Custom development + low-code + IoT integration, delivered to your compliance requirements
Full chain recordkeeping from raw material batch to finished-goods outbound, with auto-generated traceability QR codes. One scan reveals the complete file, satisfying regulatory traceability requirements.
Tiered authorization for distributors, real-time visibility into ordering, inventory and sell-out data, automatic diversion alerts — brand owners stay informed about every tier of the channel at all times.
Distributors and retail terminals place orders online via WeChat mini-program with product images, real-time inventory, online payment and credit terms management — all in one place.
IoT sensors collect cold-store and vehicle temperature/humidity in real time; automatic alerts fire on out-of-range readings; data is retained for inspection, making cold chain break accountability crystal clear.
Inventory managed by production batch, FIFO strictly enforced, near-expiry alerts issued well in advance — dramatically reducing expired-product wastage rates.
Food production licenses, inspection reports and health certificates managed in a unified ledger, with automatic pre-expiry reminders; export compliance files in one click when audits arrive.
Built on Hoobang's Trade / Production ERP, the SoHelp low-code platform and CRM: standard modules built fast with low-code, food-safety compliance specifics delivered by custom development — fast to launch and regulatory-ready.
Across the full "ordering – sell-through – traceability – cold chain – compliance" chain, six modules broken down one by one
Distributors and retail terminals order through a mini-program with product images, real-time stock, online payment and credit terms. Orders flow straight into the system — no more phone calls or paper sheets.
Distributor ordering, inventory and terminal sales roll up in real time, so headquarters sees true sell-through by region and SKU. Diversion and low-price alerts fire instantly, keeping the channel healthy.
Raw-material batch, production process, inspection report and delivery record are all archived against each batch. A QR-code scan traces any product end to end, and a recall can be scoped in minutes, not days.
IoT sensors stream real-time temperature and humidity from cold stores and vehicles. Out-of-range readings raise instant alerts, and every data point is retained for audit, so the cold chain never breaks unnoticed.
Batch-level inventory enforces FIFO and fires pre-expiry alerts well before product ages out. Near-expiry stock is surfaced for clearance early, cutting write-offs and protecting margin across every warehouse.
Production licenses, inspection reports and health certificates live in one ledger with pre-expiry reminders. When an audit lands, the full compliance file exports in one click — no scramble, no missing paperwork.
A real-world food & FMCG digitalization practice
Questions you may have about the Food & FMCG digital solution
It suits food manufacturers, food trading companies, beverage plants, bakery chains, ready-meal brands and FMCG distributors — especially companies with food safety traceability compliance requirements and multi-tier distribution channel management needs.
It solves four core problems: missing food traceability (regulatory compliance risk), opaque distribution channels (diversion and price undercutting), manual cold chain monitoring (unclear accountability), and large near-expiry inventory losses. Once deployed, a problematic batch can be located within minutes when a food safety incident occurs.
Yes. Hoobang's traceability system generates standard-format QR codes. Scanning reveals the complete record from raw material to outbound shipment. Integration with national or provincial food safety traceability platforms is supported via custom API connections per each platform's requirements.
Hoobang's system supports mainstream temperature/humidity sensor brands (e.g., E+H, Weifu Ling) and IoT gateways. Companies may self-procure devices that meet the interface specifications, or Hoobang can recommend a suitable solution. The platform handles data ingestion, storage and alerting.
The standard distributor management + ordering mini-program solution typically goes live in 3–6 weeks; a complete solution including traceability and cold chain IoT integration takes 6–10 weeks. Cost is tailored by SKU volume, distribution tier depth and function module scope. Please call 400-003-2253 for a quote.
