Every GS1 barcode carries encoded expiry data. Ratifye reads it at every scan point — warehouse pick, distributor receipt, retail delivery — and enforces FEFO rules automatically. Near-expiry alerts fire before stock reaches the danger zone.
FEFO enforced. Alerts configurable. Recall-ready. Works on barcodes you already print.

Earliest-expiry-first enforced automatically at every warehouse pick. Wrong-batch picks flagged in real time. Your pickers don't need to check — the scanner does it for them.
Set alert windows at 90, 60, 30 days — or any combination. Near-expiry stock is routed to promotional channels, returned to DC, or marked for disposal before it creates a consumer complaint or regulator inquiry.
See the expiry profile of your entire stock-in-trade — at DC, distributor, and retail level. Identify ageing stock in slow-moving channels before it expires. Prioritise sell-through with targeted interventions.
When a recall is triggered by expiry or manufacturing defect, filter affected serials by batch, lot, or date range in 60 seconds. Every affected unit's current location surfaces with chain-of-custody history from manufacture to present.
The Ratifye analytics trends screen shows your scan activity over any time window, broken down by outcome — authentic, near-expiry, expired, diverted. Your compliance team sees exactly what's moving where and whether it should still be on shelf.

Brands on Ratifye eliminate near-expiry consumer complaints and reduce FSSAI recall exposure with automated FEFO enforcement.
