Your customers throw away a staggering 30% of consumables every year. This is because they have either reached the end of their shelf life or because the time from opening/mixing has not been recorded effectively.
Hand written labels can be hard to read and batch numbers can be partially obscured by spilt product. Valuable time is wasted trying to find paperwork or batch numbers to establish when it was mixed/opened and if it is still good to use.
The consequences of using expired products can be non-compliance and ultimately aircraft on the ground, costing time and money for rework. On the other hand, the premature replacement of products creates waste and costs.
