ChallengesWarehouse challenges
What are your warehouse challenges?
Four failure patterns show up again and again in growing 3PL and food distribution operations. This is where Entropia changes the floor rhythm first.
Operational review
Stop letting stockouts and overstocks drain your bottom line.
Generic ERPs cannot manage perishable inventory properly. You write off expired product, emergency-order at premium rates, and still face stockouts when demand spikes.
- Expiry-driven putaway with automated alerts
- FEFO picking enforced on the warehouse floor
- Real-time inventory visibility across locations
- CFIA audit-ready traceability reports
Impact quantified during discovery
Learn more about expiry management →Operational review
Eliminate shipping errors and retailer chargebacks.
Manual EDI and paper pick tickets lead to wrong shipments, ASN discrepancies, and costly chargebacks from Loblaws, Metro, Walmart, and other retail programs.
- Automated retail EDI for major Canadian chains
- Scan-based picking validation before shipping
- Real-time ASN generation and validation
- Retailer compliance checks before product leaves the dock

Cut pick times and increase throughput without hiring.
Paper receiving and manual spreadsheets do not hold up in peak season. Teams work longer, make more errors, and still miss delivery windows.
- PDA-driven receiving with barcode scanning
- Optimized pick-path execution on the floor
- Real-time inventory synchronization back to Sage 50
- Bilingual EN/FR workflows for Canadian warehouses

Go live fast without disrupting peak season operations.
Traditional WMS rollouts drag on for months, depend on outside consultants, and introduce risk exactly when your operation is under the most pressure.
- Go live in 2-6 weeks with in-house experts
- No rip-and-replace — Sage 50 stays in place
- Transactional outbox syncs warehouse events in real time
- Bilingual implementation support from day one

The gains teams feel in the first weeks.
These are the numbers people repeat after receiving goes live, recall prep gets tested, and retailer onboarding stops being manual theatre.
Inbound velocity60 %
Reduce receiving time in the first weeks
Less waiting at the dock, less re-entry, and more product available faster without replacing Sage.
Expiry control0
Lower the risk of shipping expired stock
FEFO, lot status, and traceability line up before orders leave the building.
Retail-ready setup1 day
Accelerate retail and EDI onboarding
You start from a retailer-ready operating base instead of rebuilding each flow by hand.
Lot recall5 min
Find any lot in minutes, not hours
When a quality or recall question arrives, the team gets to the answer quickly and without chaos.
CompareWhy teams choose Entropia
A stronger fit for food operations.
The real decision is whether warehouse, quality, compliance, production, maintenance, and ERP control can work together without multiplying systems.

SFCR Part 5Traceability obligations
Your real traceability obligations — handled
The Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR, Part 5) require every food business that trades interprovincially or imports to track product one step forward and one step back. Entropia turns that obligation into an operational advantage instead of a spreadsheet burden.
Obligation 01
Identify each product by common name, lot code, and manufacturer identity (SFCR s.90(1)(a)).
How Entropia handles it
Every receipt captures lot code, expiry, supplier, and product identity at the dock — scan-driven, not typed.
Obligation 02
Trace one step back: document who supplied each ingredient, their address, and the date received (SFCR s.90(1)(c)).
How Entropia handles it
Supplier identity, receipt date, and lot linkage are captured automatically on every inbound movement and retained per lot.
Obligation 03
Trace one step forward: document who received the product, their address, and the date provided (SFCR s.90(1)(b)).
How Entropia handles it
Every shipment records customer identity, destination, date, and lot composition — searchable from any lot in seconds.
Obligation 04
Record the CFIA licence number of each supplier in your traceability documents.
How Entropia handles it
Supplier records carry CFIA licence numbers and are included automatically in SFCR exports — no manual lookup at filing time.
Obligation 05
Retain all traceability documents for two years, accessible in Canada (SFCR s.90(3)).
How Entropia handles it
Every lot movement, status change, and shipment is retained with full audit history — no manual archive to maintain.
Obligation 06
Produce traceability documents on demand when the CFIA requests them (SFCR s.91).
How Entropia handles it
Generate CFIA-ready XML and PDF summaries from any lot in one action — structured for electronic submission, readable for your own review.
Prove it before the inspector asks
Run a mock recall drill on any lot and get the full impact picture — affected customers, shipments, quantities, and duration — in minutes, not hours. Every drill is logged with audit evidence so you can show the CFIA you rehearse, not just promise.
Recall alerts that act, not just notify
When the CFIA publishes a recall or safety alert, Entropia cross-references it against your stock automatically. Exact matches on Class I and II recalls block affected lots from shipping immediately. Probable matches land in a review queue so your team decides with context, not panic.
Two-year retention, always accessible
SFCR requires traceability documents kept for two years and accessible in Canada. Entropia retains every lot movement, receipt, shipment, and status change with full audit history — no manual archive, no gaps when an inspector comes knocking.
CFIA-ready exports in one click
Generate SFCR traceability and recall XML payloads with supplier CFIA licence numbers, lot codes, shipment records, and customer exposure — structured for CFIA electronic submission, with a human-readable PDF summary for your own review before you file.
Also ready for US-bound shipments
If you export to the United States, FSMA 204 requires supplier-lot traceability with rapid recall capability. Entropia tracks distributor lot codes and vendor linkages so the same data foundation serves both Canadian and US compliance without a second system.
Professional servicesCustom builds & integration
Special requests and ERP integrations — built by the team that built the platform
When your operation needs something beyond the standard modules, the same engineers who built Entropia handle the customization. No third-party consultants, no relay, no black box handed off to someone who has never seen the codebase.
Custom ERP connector development
Entropia ships with 15 connectors out of the box. If your ERP is not on that list, or if your existing connector needs custom field mappings, posting rules, or reconciliation logic, our team builds and certifies it against your real environment — with simulation and shadow modes for safe go-live.
- •New connector for any ERP with an API or file exchange
- •Custom field mappings and posting rules
- •Simulation and shadow mode validation before cutover
Custom reports and label templates
Beyond the 35+ built-in reports and 20+ label presets, we design custom reports with your columns, filters, grouping, and aggregates — and custom ZPL/PDF label templates that match your retailer or internal format exactly.
- •Custom report definitions with your columns and logic
- •Custom ZPL and PDF label templates for any format
- •Retailer-specific label compliance (Walmart, Loblaws, Metro, Sobeys)
Business rule and workflow configuration
Over 25 operational policy knobs control receiving tolerance, FEFO enforcement, quality hold behavior, count variance, alert cadence, and more. We configure these to match your real operating discipline — not the other way around.
- •Receiving, quality, and picking rule configuration
- •Per-supplier tolerance and compliance overrides
- •Custom policy extensions for unique operational constraints
Data migration and ERP cutover
We migrate your products, customers, vendors, purchase orders, sales orders, invoices, and inventory quantities from Sage 50 or any ERP into Entropia with batch staging, validation, and reconciliation — then run shadow mode until you are confident the numbers match.
- •Batch import with staging and validation
- •Quantity reconciliation against ERP source of truth
- •Shadow mode cutover with parallel validation
Webhooks, notifications, and third-party integration
We configure outbound webhooks for your downstream systems, custom notification providers for SMS or push, and integration bridges to scales, printers, scanners, or IoT gateways that need specific handling.
- •Webhook configuration for downstream systems
- •Custom notification provider development
- •Hardware integration: scales, printers, scanners, IoT gateways
