Agricultural supply combines seasonal volume peaks, bulk and packaged goods, and regulated products such as crop protection. A warehouse management system holds stock in the units the operation actually trades, enforces the storage rules that regulated goods carry, and scales picking capacity through the season without a process change.
Very few industries deal with time-sensitive inventory like agriculture and fishery do. BizBloqs offers such companies the tools needed to keep control of their highly volatile stock. Our solution is capable of considering the changes in dimension and transformation by activities such as re-potting, pruning and grafting. We help our clients manage a huge variety of SKUs and use work-in-progress milestones to maintain accurate, real-time stock levels throughout the growing season. Keep track of your components such as seeds, chemicals and packaging while you capture production events such as sowing, spraying and re-potting within your stock records effortlessly.
New to this topic? Start with the complete warehouse management system (WMS) guide — what a WMS does, what it costs and how a rollout works.
The agriculture and fishery industries are in high pressure environments, making human errors more common. The nature of the industries’ products make the resulting waste and spoilage very costly.
It makes a lot more sense to invest in transforming your business, so that you can digitize your processes and reduce human errors and increase your efficiency at the same time.
BizBloqs provides integrated warehousing, stock management and distribution solutions that allows farmers and fishermen to stay compliant, drive productivity and fulfil orders without distracting their focus from caring for their produce or catch.
Capture batch information and add expiry dates with a single scan and create custom labelling to satisfy key customer requirements.
Use smart hardware to capture high quality images of growing products, communicate via email or mobile telephone and print a range of product and packing labels direct from your devices.
Our software allows clients to gain full traceability covering every growing activity, including planting dates, chemical usage and location tracking.

We needed a better, more transparent and practical system for our incoming and outgoing product flow. A direct overview in our stock and all our logistics movements was really a must. BizBloqs helped us from the start!

In addition to a scan procedure with EDI integration, BizBloqs has set up an entire production system for us. Production planning can provide direct instructions and as soon as they are ready, it all arrives in the OMS. This gives us a larger production capacity and a drastic reduction of the picking mistakes in dispatching.
