FMCG Warehouse Management System for Chennai & India Manufacturers
Built specifically for weight-variable, batch-tracked, expiry-sensitive goods — not a generic warehouse system with FMCG bolted on. Every unit is weighed, tolerance-checked, barcoded and labeled at the point of production, then tracked batch-wise and expiry-wise all the way to a customer or another of your own warehouses.

Purpose-Built for FMCG, Not a Generic WMS
FMCG goods aren't uniform — every pack, pouch or piece can carry its own small weight variance, its own batch, and its own expiry date. Teknovara's FMCG Warehouse Management System is built around that reality: each unit is individually weighed and quality-checked before it becomes sellable stock, then tracked by barcode, batch and expiry from the shop floor all the way to dispatch.
It covers the complete flow — weigh & label production (including BOM-based raw material handling), stock movement between a company's own warehouses, and dispatch out to customers — with the same barcode-level traceability at every step.
Features Built Around Real FMCG Operations
Five connected modules covering weighing and labeling, production and raw materials, batch/expiry control, and stock movement to warehouses or customers.
Weighing, Tolerance & Labeling
- Every unit is weighed on a connected scale and validated in real time against a configurable Standard / Minimum / Maximum weight tolerance for that product
- An out-of-tolerance weight is rejected on the spot, before it ever becomes stock
- The moment a weighing passes, a unique barcode is reserved and its label is printed immediately — one barcode, one unit, permanently linked
- A barcode never regenerates, even on a reprint, so every physical label stays tied to the same unit for life
- A local hardware bridge service connects RS-232 weighing scales and label printers directly to a browser-based operator kiosk, so the shop floor doesn't need special drivers on every machine
How It Works
From the first weighing to a confirmed receipt at another warehouse or a signed-off customer shipment — six steps, fully barcode-traceable.
STEP 1
Weigh & Validate
A unit is weighed on the shop floor; the system checks it against tolerance in real time and, if it passes, reserves a barcode and prints its label.
STEP 2
Job Completion Review
A supervisor reviews and confirms production at Job Completion, posting confirmed units into available warehouse stock with full batch and expiry data.
STEP 3
Raise Dispatch Order
A Dispatch Order is raised — targeting either a customer or another company warehouse, depending on what's configured.
STEP 4
Generate Pick List
A Pick List is generated automatically using the company's chosen picking strategy (FIFO, Production-Date FIFO or FEFO), resolving down to specific physical labels.
STEP 5
Scan & Issue
An operator scans and issues each physical unit at Material Issue, moving it out of the source warehouse.
STEP 6
Warehouse Transfer Receipt
For an inter-warehouse transfer, the receiving warehouse scans each unit in on arrival, completing the chain of custody.
Built for FMCG Manufacturers in Chennai and Across India
Chennai and its surrounding industrial belts — Ambattur, Sriperumbudur, Oragadam and Irungattukottai — are home to a dense cluster of FMCG, food processing and consumer-goods manufacturers, many running multiple plants and warehouses within Tamil Nadu alone. That kind of setup needs weight and batch traceability that holds up the moment stock moves between two of your own locations, not just within a single warehouse.
For FMCG companies distributing beyond Tamil Nadu, the same barcode-wise picking and Warehouse Transfer Receipt process that confirms stock between two Chennai plants applies equally to a pan-India warehouse network — every unit stays traceable back to its original weighing and label, wherever in India it's received.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q.01
What is a weight-based production system for FMCG?
It's a production workflow where every physical unit is weighed on a connected scale and validated in real time against a configurable Standard / Minimum / Maximum tolerance for that product. A unit that fails tolerance is rejected before it becomes stock; a unit that passes gets a unique barcode reserved and its label printed immediately, permanently linking that one barcode to that one physical unit.
Q.02
How does warehouse-to-warehouse stock transfer work?
A Dispatch Order can be configured to target another of the company's own warehouses instead of a customer. A pick list is generated automatically using the company's chosen picking strategy, and barcode-wise picking resolves it down to specific physical units. The receiving warehouse then scans and confirms each unit through a dedicated Warehouse Transfer Receipt screen, so stock is only posted at the destination once it's physically confirmed received.
Q.03
Does the system handle raw material consumption during production?
Yes, through BOM-based production mode. Raw materials must be picked and issued against a Bill of Materials before production is allowed, so a finished, labeled unit can never exist without its raw material inputs having been properly consumed from stock first.
Q.04
Can dispatch go to both customers and our own warehouses?
Yes. Dispatch scope is a configurable company setting — Customer-only, Warehouse-only, or both — so the same Dispatch Order → Pick List → Material Issue flow works whether you're a pure distributor, a multi-plant manufacturer, or both at once.
Q.05
Does the system support FEFO picking for expiry-sensitive goods?
Yes. Batch and expiry (shelf-life) data is captured from the first weighing, and First-Expiry-First-Out (FEFO) is one of the picking strategies you can choose per company, alongside Batch-wise FIFO and Production-Date FIFO.
