Expiry management
Expiry management: old stock goes out first
Bagdor keeps your stock batch by batch with expiry dates and sends it out first-expiry-first-out (FEFO), so the oldest stock leaves first. Near-expiry lists at 14, 7 and 3 days show what to sell before it is wasted, and damage, expiry and returns are written off on record so the stock count stays true.
Why stock expires on the shelf
- New stock is picked from the front while old stock waits at the back.
- Expiry is found when a shop returns the goods, not before.
- Damaged and expired goods are thrown away without a record, so stock never matches.
- The buy list ignores what is already in the godown.
How Bagdor handles expiry
First expiry, first out
Dispatch takes the batch that expires first, so old stock leaves before new.
Warnings at 14, 7 and 3 days
Near-expiry lists show which batches run out soon, while there is still time to sell them.
Low stock and the buy list
A low-stock list, and a purchase list worked out from tomorrow’s orders and the stock you already hold.
Write-offs on record
Stock adjustments for damage, expiry, shortage and vendor returns keep the stock ledger true. Stock checks catch the rest.
Returns with a credit note
Doorstep returns are recorded by the driver; the office posts them with a credit note and decides whether to restock.
Questions distributors ask
How do I reduce expiry losses in dairy and FMCG distribution?
Bagdor keeps stock batch-wise with expiry dates and sends stock out first-expiry-first-out. Near-expiry lists for 3, 7 and 14 days show what to sell before it is wasted.
Can I use Bagdor for daily milk distribution to shops?
Yes. Bagdor was built around dairy distribution: night orders, a morning purchase list, stock by expiry, crates counted at every stop and cash collected on the route. It works the same way for FMCG, bakery, beverages and other daily-delivery goods.
What reports does Bagdor have?
The daily dispatch sheet, dues by age (0–30, 31–45 and 45+ days) and the stock ledger. Most lists, including retailer ledgers, export to Excel or PDF.
