Warehouse Management Systems

The need for warehouse software usually surfaces after a loss. A pallet nobody can find, an order sent to the wrong place, a count that will not reconcile.

We do not start building without walking the warehouse. Where the racking is, who goes where and which tasks are done standing up all shape what the software has to be.

What the System Covers

Goods in

Counting, recording and putting away what arrives. A mistake at intake spreads through everything downstream, which is why the checks are heaviest here.

Locations and racking

How many of a product you hold matters as much as where it sits. A system without location data does not shorten the time spent searching.

Order picking

Sorting the pick list by walking distance rather than product code noticeably shortens the same job. A list in product order sends someone up and down the warehouse several times.

Dispatch and records

What left, when, and against which order. That record is what you look at when a claim comes back later.

Our Approach

  • We watch the current flow first and build the software around it.
  • The screen used on the warehouse floor is designed differently from the office one.
  • Every movement is recorded, so questions can be asked about the past.
  • A manual fallback stays available so work does not stop when the system does.

Projects Where We Did This

Frequently Asked Questions

With few items and one person working, usually not. The need appears the moment more than one person starts updating the same information. Past that point a spreadsheet stops holding.

If that software has an external interface, yes. If not, transfers can be done by file. Which direction it runs, meaning which system is authoritative, has to be settled up front.

Cleaning the existing data and getting the team used to it takes longer than the software. The same product recorded under different names is the most common cause of delay we see.
