A warehouse that runs on scans, not memory
Most warehouse software is a second system bolted onto the one that holds your items and your orders, and the bolt is where the errors live. Here the dock, the bin, the carton and the invoice are the same records — a scan on the floor is a movement in the ledger.
Every door into the building is a scan
Receiving, counting, put-away and the register all read the same codes, from a wedge scanner or a phone camera. A standalone scan console answers "what is this label?" when nothing else is open.
- A scan console that resolves an item, lot, serial, location or container from one barcode
- GS1-128 label printing with a built-in template designer and a print queue
- Containers as real handling units — cases, pallets and SSCCs, not free text
Inbound, from the notice to the bin
An advance ship notice — entered by hand or imported from EDI — tells the dock what is coming. Receiving matches it against the purchase order and put-away sends it to a location.
- Advance ship notices by hand, or X12 856 / EDIFACT DESADV import with a dry-run preview
- Scan-first receiving against the purchase order, with landed cost on the receipt
- Directed put-away — ranked preferred bins per item, worked off a scan-to-complete list — and in-transit transfers that stay visible while they move
Accuracy you can prove
Every movement is written to one ledger per item and location, so a count, an adjustment and a valuation all read the same history rather than three versions of it.
- Staged stock counts, plus ABC analysis to say what is worth counting often
- Adjustments, full movement history and valuation per item and location
- Lot, serial and expiry traceability — a timeline with a genealogy graph, and point-in-time lookup for a serial
- A QA release queue, so quarantined stock cannot be sold until it passes
Outbound, to the carton and the truck
Orders allocate against real stock, get packed into real cartons, and ship. Nothing is committed twice and nothing is picked from stock that is not there.
- Allocation by FEFO, FIFO or LIFO, with per-line ordered, allocated, picked and shipped visible on the order
- A packing station that builds cartons from what was picked
- Ship with an optional customer invoice, and take returns back with a restock-or-scrap decision
- Grouped wave picking is rolling out — switched on per account

Questions operators ask
We already have inventory software. What does a warehouse module add?
Inventory tells you what you hold. Warehouse is how it moves: advance ship notices at the dock, scan-first receiving against the purchase order, directed put-away to the bin an item is ranked for, containers as real handling units, then allocation, packing and shipping on the way out. Both run on the same item, location, lot and serial records, so there is no sync between them.
Do we need handheld scanners before we can start?
No. Operational fields accept a wedge scanner or the camera on a phone, so you can run receiving and counts on the handsets your team already carries and buy dedicated hardware later, if at all.
Can we trace a batch back to the supplier and forward to the customer?
Yes. Every movement writes to one ledger, and a lot or serial opens as a timeline with a genealogy graph behind it. A serial also supports point-in-time lookup — where it was at a given instant, or that it did not exist yet. That is the difference between answering a recall question in an afternoon and answering it in a fortnight.
Is wave picking part of it?
It is built and rolling out behind a per-account flag, so it is not switched on for everyone yet — ask and we will tell you where it stands for your account. Everything else in outbound works without it: allocation, the packing station, shipping and returns.
