Why do end-to-end halal supply chains matter, and how can Indonesian companies prepare for mandatory halal certification?
Indonesia has extended the deadline for mandatory halal certification to October 2028 for micro and small enterprises, imported products and several other product categories. The extension gives food manufacturers and distributors more time to prepare, but they are still under pressure to prove compliance across their supply chains.
This session outlines a practical four-step roadmap to halal readiness: building a Halal Assurance team, auditing suppliers and storage, getting packaging and labelling right, and investing in a halal-ready warehouse management system (WMS) that automates segregation and traceability. It then explores where AI adds value: screening supplier certificates and ingredients, spotting warehouse deviations that rule-based checks can miss, protecting transport and the cold chain, and turning
WMS data into audit-ready evidence in minutes.
