Run chilled, frozen and ambient stock by expiry, not by guesswork
OpsUI tracks the stock and traceability side of a cold-chain operation: batch and expiry captured at receiving, FEFO enforced at the pick face, and full forward and backward trace across chilled, frozen and ambient zones. Temperature monitoring lives in your sensors and BMS; OpsUI ties the product record to it so a short-dated carton, a quarantined lot or a recall is a query rather than a clipboard hunt.
The same three problems, every time.
- §01
Short-dated stock dies in the cold room
When picking follows arrival order instead of expiry, the soonest-to-expire pallet sits behind older stock and times out in a freezer aisle. FEFO has to be enforced at the pick face across every zone, not eyeballed on a carton by whoever reaches it first.
- §02
Stock spread across chilled, frozen and ambient zones
The same SKU can live in a freezer, a chiller and a dry rack with different batches and dates in each. Without zone-aware, batch-and-expiry-level visibility you cannot tell whether you can fill an order at the right shelf life, or which lot is closest to its use-by.
- §03
A recall or temperature excursion means a half-day of cross-referencing
When a batch is implicated, or product breaches a temperature limit on receipt, you need to isolate every affected lot and everyone who received it fast. If that trace lives in spreadsheets and paper batch sheets, you are reconstructing it under pressure instead of running it as a query.
6 modules, à-la-carte, NZ$2,094 / month all-in.
Most cold-chain operators start with inventory-management, receiving-inbound and shipping-outbound for zone-aware FEFO, then add quality-control and exceptions-management for quarantine, temperature-excursion holds and recall tracing, with dashboards-reporting for shelf-life and 3PL billing visibility.

The honest answers.
Does OpsUI monitor warehouse and cold-room temperatures?
No. Temperature monitoring stays with your sensors, data loggers and building management system, where it belongs. OpsUI tracks the stock side: it records batch and expiry at receiving, enforces FEFO at the pick, holds the zone each unit sits in, and lets you quarantine or release a lot. When a temperature excursion is flagged, you can raise an exception against the affected batch so the product record and the recall trace reflect it.
How does OpsUI enforce FEFO across chilled, frozen and ambient zones?
Batch, lot and expiry are captured at receiving against the supplier and delivery, then picking is driven by expiry date rather than arrival order, with each unit tagged to its storage zone. That means the soonest-to-expire stock leaves first regardless of which freezer or chiller aisle it sits in, and you can confirm an order ships at the remaining shelf life a buyer's receiving spec requires.
Can OpsUI support a perishables recall under FSANZ rules?
OpsUI supports the traceability and recall workflows that underpin a written recall plan, capturing batch and expiry so you can trace one step back to suppliers and one step forward to customers as FSANZ Standard 3.2.2 expects. The certification and the documented recall plan remain the operator's; OpsUI's job is to make the evidence exist and be retrievable so a mock recall runs as a query, not an archaeology dig.
Does OpsUI handle 3PL cold-chain storage and handling billing?
If you store perishables for clients, OpsUI's stock and movement records give you the data behind cold-chain billing: pallet and unit positions by zone, receipts, picks and dispatches per client, and the activity that storage and handling charges are calculated from. Reporting surfaces it so charges are evidenced against actual movements rather than estimated after the fact.
