Hold stock by location, and see what is in transit between them.

Warehouse management keeps stock by location and not as one number: the main shop, the warehouse on the highway, the material lying at a site. Transfers move with a note, so goods in transit are visible and not missing. If a customer wants delivery tomorrow, the person on the phone can say which warehouse it will come from.

What it is

Two warehouses and a shop, and the stock figure is the total of all three. Somebody promises delivery from the nearer one, the van goes, and the material turns out to be at the other end of town. The customer waits a day and remembers it for a year.

Hold stock at the place it is kept. Each warehouse, shop or site store has its own balance, its own count and its own person answering for it. Material that has left one and not yet reached the other sits in transit, which is exactly where it is.

What it replaces

What your team uses today.

The module takes over these, one at a time, so nothing has to stop while it is set up.

  • Stock registers kept per godown
  • Transfer slips on loose paper
  • Counting sheets for a full shutdown
Where it goes wrong today

The problems this is meant to ease.

A total that hides locations

The system shows total stock. Which shed holds it is unknown.

Transfers lost on the road

Material leaves and nobody writes it down. It sits unaccounted for.

Loaders guess locations

A despatch list gives items without places. Time goes into searching.

Counting stops the business

A full count means a closed Sunday. Everything else waits.

Anyone can issue anywhere

A person moves goods from a place he does not visit. Differences appear later.

Inside the module

What warehouse management does.

Stock at each location

Balances per warehouse, shop or site store, with the total only where a total is useful. Each place has its own figure.

Transfers that leave a trail

Material moves out on a transfer note and is received at the other end, with the quantity that actually arrived. Both ends sign the note.

Goods in transit

Between despatch and receipt the stock is neither here nor there. It shows as in transit and does not vanish for two days.

Picking for despatch

A list for the loader with the items, quantities and where each one is kept, ticked as it goes on the vehicle.

Counting one location at a time

A warehouse is counted and closed on its own, without shutting the whole business for a Sunday. Nothing else has to stop.

Who may issue from where

A storekeeper sees and issues from his warehouse alone, so nobody moves stock out of a location he never visits. Strangers cannot touch the stock.

Where it gets used

What this looks like in a working week.

Illustrative scenarios, written to show the shape of the work. They are not accounts of client systems.

Promising delivery

The phone operator sees the warehouse with stock. Tomorrow’s delivery is confirmed from there.

Moving material between sheds

A transfer note leaves a site. The receiving end confirms what arrived.

Loading a truck

The loader gets a pick list with rack places. Items are ticked as they board.

Counting a site alone

A warehouse is counted and closed. Others carry on trading.

Who touches it

The people who open this every day.

Warehouse in-charge

Receives, issues and counts, and answers for his own location and nobody else’s. One person, one location.

Despatch clerk

Picks from the nearest location that actually has the goods, and prints the delivery note.

Owner

Sees stock spread across locations, and the material that has sat in the far warehouse since March. Slow movers are easy to spot.

How it is set up

From first conversation to daily use.

  1. Visiting the sites

    We walk through each location and its layout. You supply stock lists, and a location plan returns.

  2. Locations and racks

    Sites, racks and sections are named. Staff check the names against signage.

  3. Opening stock

    Balances are loaded per location. Counts confirm the load before use.

  4. Transfers and picking

    Transfer notes and pick lists are tested across nearby sites. Loaders say what to change.

  5. Permissions and live use

    Each storekeeper is given his own location. Live movement begins on an agreed day.

Measuring it

How you would know it is working.

Record where you stand before it goes live, so the change is measured against your own figures.

  • Stock in transit by age
  • Transfers received short or in excess
  • Picking errors found at despatch
  • Count differences by location
  • Issues attempted from a location outside permission
How it fits

It is one part of a system, not an island.

A module earns its place by what it passes to the next one. These are the connections we set up most often.

  • Stock tracking and alerts
  • Goods receipt
  • Multi-outlet stock
  • Transport documents
  • Your accounting software
Common questions

Questions owners ask about warehouse management.

Do we need rack and bin numbers?

Most small warehouses do not. Start at warehouse level and add sections only where searching wastes real time, such as tiles by shade or fabric rolls. Bin numbers nobody maintains are worse than none.

Is our accounting software enough, since it can handle warehouses?

If your billing and your stock both live in one accounting package that tracks locations, yes, and you should stay there. This matters when goods move at a counter or a site and the accountant sees only the bills afterwards.

What about a warehouse with no network?

Entries can be made on a phone when the signal returns, or written and keyed at the office that evening. We would rather set that expectation now than promise coverage inside a tin shed.

Does a transfer between our warehouses need a transport document?

It can, depending on the distance and the value, and the rules are for your accountant to confirm. The module keeps the transfer details ready so the document can be produced where one is needed. Our furniture showroom software already counts floor, display and warehouse stock separately.

What changes the price of warehouse management?

Site count and item volume change it. Rack tracking and transport links add more. A site visit comes first. Separate prices follow for each part, and any part may go.

What governs the time before locations go live?

The state of stock data and the naming of racks. Early use gives location balances, transfers and picking. The proposal states dates after the visit.
