Klipboard’s role in the Food & Beverage Industry

Food distributors operate in one of the most tightly regulated, fast-paced environments in the UK. Klipboard has extensive experience in helping food and beverage organisations to automate safety checks, monitor the stock for expiry-sensitive goods, plan delivery routes, and manage pricing pressure without manual overload—helping you to meet your traceability and compliance obligations.

The challenges you face

We understand the challenges you’re facing

You’re not just moving goods—you’re managing customer expectations and orders, your supply chain, complex quoting, fluctuating pricing, and the operational pressures of working with perishable goods all at once. We work closely with Food and Beverage Distributor every day, and we understand these challenges intimately—so we understand the reality you’re facing:

  • Compliance pressure: Allergen data, audit trails, traceability - food safety isn’t optional.
  • Shelf-life and temperature control urgency: Short dates and the need to control the temperature of goods means you have to meet tight delivery windows -  and every delay risks spoilage.
  • Margin squeeze: Discounters and supermarkets keep pushing prices down, even as costs rise.
  • Delivery speed: Customers want fast fulfillment, often with temperature control requirements or routing constraints.
  • The wider-economic landscape: Tariffs and import rules are continuously shifting, and supply chain friction has become the new normal.

We’ve seen it, we’ve heard it - and we’ve built our range of Klipboard ERP solutions to help you take control of it.
