Keep dairy moving, safely and on time
SERTI Dairy WMS is purpose-built for end-stage fluid milk, cultured product production, and cold-room warehousing, helping plants keep every case accounted for, compliant, and ready to ship.
Built for endstage dairy operations
SERTI Dairy WMS focuses on the part of the operation where mistakes cost the most: end-stage production and cold room warehousing. It helps manage high-volume, short-shelf-life product so inventory is in the right place, at the right time, and still within code date.
From in-feed and purchase-for-resale through packaging and load-out, the system tracks what you have, where it is in the plant, and when it expires. This helps cut spoilage, mis-shipments, and last-minute cooler scrambles.
SERTI Dairy WMS also handles common dairy shipping formats in one system: plastic and corrugated containers, pallys, caseless pallets, totes, tankers, corrugated in plastic, and bossys. Your operation can keep using the containers it knows instead of changing to fit new software.
Operational visibility in real time
See live inventory, orders, and production across the plant, including storage trailers and high-rise locations, so planners and supervisors always know what is available and where it sits.
End-to-end lot traceability for dairy
Trace every lot from intake to shipment with pallet-level IDs and production labels, making recalls, audits, and customer inquiries faster and more accurate.
Warehouse precision for complex SKUs
Support push-back (LIFO) and flow-through (FIFO) racking, smart code-date selection, and controlled substitutions, so the right product and code date are shipped without manual workarounds.
Smarter order building and fulfilment
Use dynamic order splitting, bulk-pick features, and distribution-of-shorts logic to build more efficient picks, combine orders where it makes sense, and allocate limited inventory more fairly.
Smooth implementation and ongoing support
Generate customer-specific ASN labels, export data such as CHEP pallet usage into Excel, and work with a team that understands dairy operations and supports the system over time.
Inventory, quality, and recalls under control
SERTI Dairy WMS manages QA holds so pallets can move where appropriate, instead of blocking up the cooler. This helps shorten hold times and free up much-needed storage space.
The system supports FDA recall requirements with clear traceability: what was produced, which lots are affected, where they are now, and where they were shipped. This makes it easier to act quickly if you ever need to pull product.
On the shipping side, SERTI Dairy WMS manages the load-out process, including DSD routes, so trucks leave with the right mix of products and container types for each stop.
Built on IBM for mission-critical reliability
SERTI Dairy WMS runs on an IBM technology stack by design. The same platform supports many large banks, manufacturers, warehouses, and logistics operations where uptime, stability, and security are critical.
This foundation provides a predictable, low-maintenance environment with a long track record of reliability. It helps keep unplanned outages and emergency IT work to a minimum so your team can stay focused on production and shipping.
SERTI Dairy WMS integrates with IBM-based enterprise systems such as JDE, Ross, EnterpriseOne, DMS, and SAP in IBM environments, as well as SQL-based order-to-cash systems like Microsoft Dynamics and Blue Yonder.
Fast, keyboard- and scanner-based workflows for busy plants
In a cold room or on the dock, speed and accuracy matter most. SERTI Dairy WMS uses keyboard-driven operator consoles with function keys and shortcuts, so operators can enter transactions quickly with fewer mistakes.
This setup is built for high-throughput work and pairs with RF guns and StayLink-based applications. Operators can scan, confirm, and move product on the floor with the same speed and reliability they get at the console.
Dairy-specific reporting is a key differentiator. The system produces reports on product age, code date, inventory by container type, and route details fast enough to support same-day decisions.
Dairy automation, integrated
Beyond software, SERTI Dairy brings experience with the automation equipment that keeps plants moving. The team works with Rockwell-based toolsets and designs control systems for material conveying, including control panels, mechanical integration, and line control logic.
If a plant needs to integrate a Columbia palletizer with DCC conveyors, or connect new equipment into existing lines, SERTI Dairy helps design and integrate the control solution. This includes unitizers, bossy loaders, palletizers, caseless palletizers, stackers, groupers, chain conveyors, and vision systems used in modern dairy plants.
This combination of warehouse software and controls know-how helps ensure that what is planned in the system actually happens on the floor, safely and repeatably.
Built with dairy operations in mind
Our team brings deep experience across dairy processing, cold-chain logistics, and warehouse automation, so SERTI fits how plants actually run.
