Case Study: Batory Foods achieves real-time container tracking and FSMA-compliant yard operations with Kaleris

Batory Foods - Customer Case Study

Batory Foods, a national food-ingredient distributor operating a new 700,000‑sq.-ft. flagship DC in Wilmington, IL, faced inefficient, manual yard management—using clipboards and sign‑in sheets—to track container locations, drivers and meet new FSMA driver‑validation requirements. To gain accurate inventory visibility for its growing 3PL operations and partners, Batory Foods selected Kaleris’ cloud-based yard management system (YMS).

Kaleris implemented an integrated YMS with driver kiosks and RFID container tracking across Batory’s 300 yard container spots, enabling automatic driver validation, real‑time map‑based location recording, and expedited handling of “hot” loads. The Kaleris solution eliminated manual sign‑ins, improved cross‑docking and staging efficiency, and provided partners with cloud visibility—streamlining urgent inventory movement and strengthening FSMA‑compliant yard security.
