Smart Operations
WMS for warehouse execution
Keep physical stock movements aligned with item, quantity, lot and location records. Begin with one warehouse flow, using the actual labels, scanners and exceptions seen on site.

What it can look like on site
Illustrative scenario and sample data. Views and rules are agreed during the pilot.
| Stock state | Sample quantity and location |
|---|---|
| Total received | 24 cartons · Receiving R-01 |
| Pending inspection | 4 cartons · Hold Q-02 · unavailable |
| Released | 20 cartons · Storage A-03 · available |
- Receive
- Check the item, unit, lot and quantity against the receipt.
- Inspect and move
- Place only released cartons into available stock; held cartons keep their separate status.
- Reconcile
- Check locations and quantities against the agreed stock record before closing the receipt.
Where it fits
Receiving and putaway go out of sync
Capture the handoff from dock to storage and confirm the actual item, lot, quantity and location.
Inventory exists on screen but cannot be found
Use location-level records and agreed cycle counts to identify mismatches, holds and stock that cannot be allocated.
From data to action
Receive and identify
Match the receipt against the agreed document. Validate item and unit of measure, and record lot or serial data where required. Where incoming inspection applies, distinguish physically received stock, stock held for inspection and stock released for use.
Move and confirm
Scan the source and destination, confirm the quantity and apply the agreed location or hold rules. Route exceptions for review.
Complete and reconcile the selected process
Check the transactions for the receiving, putaway, picking or dispatch process selected for this phase. Reconcile them with the designated system of record where integration is in scope.
What to include in the proposal
Pilot scope and deliverables
Agree one process, label and location conventions, scanner coverage, exception ownership, reconciliation report and operator training.
Integrations priced separately
Confirm ERP ownership, label printing, integrations with carriers or automation, device provisioning and migration of opening balances.
Pilot acceptance and exceptions
Reconcile one physical flow
Follow an actual sample from receiving to putaway or picking. Reconcile the scanned item, lot, units and location with the recorded balance.
Test an exception before rollout
Try a duplicate scan, wrong location and a shortage or held lot. Confirm the operator sees what to correct and that the exception does not silently change available stock.
Discuss a pilot
Bring a receiving or picking flow, sample item and location labels, and any ERP or scanner constraints.
