WMS — Warehouse and Stock Management
Knowing not how many units you have, but exactly where they are.
16 functions4 module groups5 integrations
An ERP stock module answers "how many"; a WMS answers "on which rack, from which batch, picked in what order". As a warehouse grows the second question becomes more expensive than the first: wrong rack, wrong batch and count variances are direct cost. We build for handheld operation — a WMS run off a paper list is not a WMS.
Scope and modules16
01
Warehouse structure
- Warehouse, aisle, rack, bin and location hierarchy
- Location types: picking, reserve, quarantine, returns
- Capacity, volume and weight constraints
- Addressing and barcode label generation
02
Operations
- Goods-in, quality control and quarantine
- Put-away rules and suggested locations
- Pick lists, wave picking and route optimisation
- Packing, dispatch preparation and load checking
- Transfers, consolidation and rack reorganisation
03
Traceability
- Batch, lot, serial number and expiry date
- FIFO / FEFO issue rules
- Movement history and a full audit trail
- Recall queries
04
Counting and control
- Periodic, cycle and spot counts
- Variance analysis and approval flow
- Per-operator throughput
What it connects to05
- ERP stock and order data
- Handheld terminals (Android / Zebra class devices)
- Barcode and label printers
- Scales and dimensioning equipment
- Courier and carrier systems
Signs you need this system05
- 01Only one person knows where anything is
- 02Count variances cannot be explained
- 03The wrong batch gets picked
- 04Dispatch errors surface as customer complaints
- 05New staff take months to learn the warehouse
Decisions to make upfront03
- 01Is the warehouse addressed?
- Without addressing, the project starts on the floor rather than in code: rack labelling and location definition. Projects that underestimate this sit finished but unlaunchable for months.
- 02Handheld terminals or phones?
- In high-volume picking, a rugged keyed terminal is measurably faster. At low volume a phone is enough; the decision follows daily line counts.
- 03Is batch and expiry tracking mandatory?
- In food, chemicals and pharma it is a legal requirement and shapes the data model from the start. Even where it is optional, we recommend it wherever a recall scenario exists.
Frequently asked02
- Is our ERP stock module not enough?
- For a single, low-movement warehouse, yes. The moment you need rack addresses, batch tracking and picking routes, a stock module cannot carry it.
- Can we keep our existing handhelds?
- Most Android-based devices can be reused. We review your device inventory during the technical assessment.
