digabloPos tracks every lot and every expiration date for your products with color-coded visual alerts: red for expired products, orange for those within 7 days, amber for within 30 days, and green for compliant products. This feature is included for free in your POS software.
Food safety is a fundamental responsibility for any business selling perishable products. Health regulations require complete lot traceability from reception to sale, and hygiene inspections can occur at any time. A expired product sold to a customer can lead to severe consequences: health issues, lawsuits, fines, and reputational damage. Beyond regulatory compliance, lot tracking is also a powerful tool for reducing food waste. By knowing exactly which products are approaching their expiration date, you can set up targeted promotions, reorganize your shelves according to the FIFO principle (First In, First Out), and optimize your supplier orders. digabloPos natively integrates lot management and expiration date tracking, without complex configuration or additional modules to purchase. Each product can be associated with one or more lots, each with its own manufacturing date, reception date, and expiration date.
The digabloPos alert system uses an intuitive color code that allows your employees to instantly identify the status of each product without manually checking dates. Expired products are flagged in bright red, impossible to miss. Products with an expiration date within 7 days appear in orange, giving you time to act — whether it is a flash promotion, a transfer to another location, or a planned removal. Products within 30 days are displayed in amber, ideal for planning ahead. Finally, compliant products remain in green, confirming at a glance that everything is in order. These alerts are visible directly in the checkout interface during sales, in inventory management, and on the dashboard. You can also configure push notifications to be alerted each morning about products requiring immediate attention. This visual approach eliminates human error and ensures that no expired product ends up in a customer's hands.
The FIFO principle (First In, First Out) is the golden rule of perishable product management: products received first must be sold first. digabloPos automatically applies this logic by always suggesting the oldest lot during a sale. When an employee scans a product at checkout, the system automatically deducts the quantity from the lot with the nearest expiration date. Each lot is identified by a complete set of information: lot number assigned by the supplier, manufacturing date, reception date at your business, expiration date, and quantity received. You can enter this information during goods reception, directly from the inventory management interface. The system maintains a complete history of each lot: when it was received, how many units were sold, how many remain in stock, and when the last units were sold. This traceability is essential in case of a product recall by a supplier — you can identify in seconds which lots are affected and which customers purchased them.
Lot and expiration management in digabloPos is seamlessly integrated with the inventory management module. When a sale is recorded, the corresponding lot's stock is automatically deducted according to the FIFO rule. The inventory movement history keeps a trace of every lot-related operation: stock entry upon reception, exit upon sale, adjustment during inventory count, and removal in case of expired products. The inventory dashboard gives you a real-time overview: how many lots are active for each product, what total quantity is available, which lots are expiring soon, and what is the value of at-risk stock. You can generate detailed reports showing waste rate by product category, waste evolution over time, and the efficiency of your stock rotations. This data allows you to adjust your supplier orders and progressively reduce your losses. In case of an audit or health inspection, you have a complete timestamped audit trail, exportable in one click.
Food businesses are subject to strict traceability regulations. HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) standards require precise documentation of the product control chain, including lot information, expiration dates, and storage conditions. digabloPos facilitates this compliance by automatically generating the necessary documents. You can export a complete traceability report for any period, showing all lots received, sold, removed, and in stock. The report includes lot numbers, key dates, quantities, and associated suppliers. In case of a health inspection, you can produce these documents in seconds directly from your device, in PDF or CSV format. For product recalls, the system allows you to instantly find all customers who purchased a specific lot, facilitating communication and crisis management. This bidirectional traceability capability — from supplier to customer and from customer to supplier — is a major asset for demonstrating your professionalism to inspectors and reassuring your customers.
