# Empowering Food Banks: How WAERlinx is Making a Difference
[By- Ellie Barnes,](https://waersystems.com/blog/author/ellie-barnes) 3 April 2024
WAERlinx for Food Banks is a dedicated solution designed to help Food Banks manage their operations and inventory more effectively. By automating key processes, WAERlinx enables Food Banks to deliver food to communities in need more efficiently.
### Expiry and Lot Tracking
WAERlinx for Foodbanks provides expiry and lot tracking capabilities, allowing Food Banks to efficiently manage their inventory and ensure the freshness of their food. With WAERlinx, Food Banks can track expiry dates and lot numbers, enabling them to distribute food before it expires. This helps to reduce waste and ensures that the food reaching communities is safe to consume.
### Temperature Control Support with Dynamic Putaway Rules
WAERlinx includes dynamic putaway rules, which help ensure that items requiring specific temperature conditions are stored in the appropriate areas. This ensures that food is kept under optimal conditions, improving safety and reducing the risk of spoilage.
### Sign-on Glass Technology for Proof of Delivery
WAERlinx incorporates sign-on glass technology, which allows Food Banks to capture digital signatures for proof of delivery. This feature can be used both online and offline, removing the need for paper-based systems and improving operational efficiency.
### Conversion of Donated Goods
At WAER, we understand that food donation is at the heart of a Food Bank. We support the ability to transform donated items into sellable items. Capturing critical information to ensure it correctly is tracked throughout the warehouse. Ultimately supporting the capability to build backpacks or food kits.
### Pallet Tracking and Order Fulfillment
With the ability to efficiently receive and track pallets throughout the warehouse, WAERlinx simplifies order execution. Its additional feature allows users to easily pick items into pallets and drop them as needed, facilitating task sharing and ensuring that completed orders are prepared on time.
### WAERlinx: Supporting Food Banks Across the U.S.
WAERlinx is used by Food Banks across the United States, helping them manage logistics and distribution processes. WAER has helped Food Banks deliver over 30 million meals annually, improving efficiency and ensuring that food reaches those who need it most.
By integrating WAERlinx, Food Banks can improve inventory management, streamline their operations, and ensure food safety, all of which are crucial to their mission of addressing food insecurity.
