Receiving through dispatch on one stock ledger

A warehouse runs on where things are. We make every movement a scanned, timestamped record made by the person who moved it, so the system and the floor never disagree.

Called about

Pickers keep a second list because the system cannot be trusted.

Stock is found in a location the system says is empty.

Dispatch cut-offs are missed because picking is released one order at a time.

A count means shutting the building for a weekend.

Wave picking

What the warehouse sees

A wave released against live stock, with shorts predicted before pickers walk the aisle.

What we implement

Modules, and the seams between them

Configured to your building and your dock discipline, not to a generic layout.

Inbound and putaway

Receipt against purchase order or ASN, inspection hold, and directed putaway to a bin that exists.

Receipt GRN-2211 · ASN matched
Pallet 004 → A-04-12 Pallet 005 → A-04-13 Pallet 006 Inspection hold Pallet 007 Queued

Picking and packing

Wave, batch and zone picking released against dispatch cut-offs, with pack verification.

Wave 14:00 · 1,284 lines
Zone 192% Zone 264% Zone 338%

Dispatch

Load building, carrier manifests, labels and proof of dispatch back to the order.

Counting and audit

Assisted layer

What AI does in a warehouse, specifically

It looks at movement history and suggests. A supervisor still releases the work.

Slotting suggestions

Fast movers proposed for closer bins based on real pick history, with the travel saving stated.

Short-pick prediction

Lines likely to short flagged at wave release, while there is still time to source them differently.

Count targeting

Counts aimed at the locations where movement history says the ledger is most likely wrong.

Labour forecast

Expected work by shift from the open order book, so the roster is set on demand rather than habit.
