NEXT WMSyour warehouse, running on data

3D warehouse

Your warehouse, drawn to scale: every zone, aisle, bay, level and location, exactly as they are in reality. Rotate it with your mouse and see at a glance where it is full, where it is empty and where goods have piled up and are not moving.

It is not a pretty mock-up. It is the same warehouse your operators work in: the same locations, the same codes, the same quantities.

Stock in 3D

Pick a product and the warehouse lights up: you see right away how many locations it sits in and how much is in each. Stock scattered across ten locations is plain to see, without waiting for a report.

Picking route

The path an operator walks for an order, drawn over the warehouse in the actual sequence of stops. You see why an order took a long time and whether the location of the goods was to blame.

Operators on the floor

Who is working where, right now. Useful when you want to know whether a zone is covered, beyond the tasks that have been checked off.

2D stock map

The same information, seen from above. Search for a product and the racks that hold it light up; click a rack and you see its locations, with quantities.

It is the map you open when you want an answer in two seconds, without rotating the 3D view.

Overview dashboard

Picking, receiving, transfers and stock counts for the period you choose, compared with the previous period. Open it in the morning and you know whether yesterday was above or below your usual output.

Operator performance

How much each operator picked, how fast and from which zones. The point is to see where time is lost: an operator who is slow in one particular zone usually points to a slotting problem.

Replenishment needs

What needs ordering, calculated from actual sales and available stock rather than total stock. The suggestions go straight out as purchase orders, without anyone retyping them.

Picking

All outbound orders in one place, with customer, route, operator, progress and status. Filter by what matters to you and open the document right from here.

You choose the columns from more than twenty available, from the order series and number to the warehouse zone, user type and document barcode. What you see on screen exports exactly as it is, with nothing to rearrange in Excel.

Urgent orders are highlighted, and you can work on several at once from the list: assign them to an operator, or group them into a single shipment or a single package.

Receiving

What has arrived, what is being counted now and what is waiting to be put away, in columns, so you spot the bottleneck before the supplier calls.

Each receipt shows its dock-to-stock time, the quantity ordered versus the quantity counted, and any overages or shortages. The filters at the top isolate exactly the cases that need a decision: those over the 24-hour target, those counted but not put away, those not started and those with issues.

This is also where you spot the supplier who keeps delivering something other than what was ordered, on the very day it happens.

Stock positions

Stock by product, batch, location and warehouse, showing what is available and what is already reserved for orders. Columns can be chosen and rearranged, and what you see on screen exports exactly as it is.

Stock health

The dashboard that answers the expensive question: which stock is just sitting there. Products with no outbound movement, slow movers, products that have never been picked and products scattered across too many locations.

Each one shows its age, the date it last went out and the value tied up in it, so any conversation about clearance or discounts starts from numbers.

Expiry calendar

Expiry dates laid out on a calendar: see what expires this week, this month and three months from now, by batch and by location.

Shipping automatically uses the batch that expires first, so the calendar is for the decisions you make: what to promote, what to return, what to stop ordering.

Traceability

For any product and any period: the opening balance, every inbound and outbound movement with its document, and the closing balance. Each line shows the date, operation, partner, location and batch.

When someone asks “where did these goods end up?”, the answer is on a single screen.

Receiving

Receiving is structured in two stages, and that split stops errors from spreading further down the line.

First: counting the goods and building pallets. This is where discrepancies against the order are resolved and goods are prepared to warehouse standards, before they go anywhere they would later have to be searched for.

Second, putaway: the system suggests a location based on how important the product is and how far the location is from the shipping points. You can add your own rules on top: location priority by product type, stock rotation, or specifications such as size, weight and temperature.

The two-step approach optimizes storage space and speeds up everything that follows: order picking and stock counts start from goods that are already where they belong.

Receiving calendar

What is arriving and when, by day and by week. The dock and the team are planned around scheduled deliveries.

Receiving traceability

For every product in a receipt: what was ordered, what was counted, which batch came in and which location it went to. Discrepancies show up on the spot, not at the stock count three months later.

Picking by status

Outbound orders in status columns: ready, in progress, checked, packed, loaded, delivered. Nobody sets the status by hand: it changes on its own as the operator scans.

Orders are prioritized and processed by criteria (urgency, location and volume) rather than the sequence in which they arrived. That way you ship accurately and on time, whether a hundred small orders come in or one very large one.

Stock allocation is dynamic: first in, first out (FIFO) for proper stock rotation, first expired, first out (FEFO) for products with an expiry date, plus stock reserved for specific customers and a minimum level the system never goes below.

Tasks are split automatically by equipment type: operators with carts get different work from forklift operators, depending on order complexity and the size of the goods.

Picking planning

Orders laid out on a calendar and assigned to teams, so daily peaks are visible before they happen.

Linked documents

Nothing in a warehouse stands alone: an order leads to picking, picking to packing, packing to loading, loading to transport, and at the end there is an invoice.

From any document you can reach any of the others in one click, and the way back stays visible. That is the difference between having the data and being able to follow it.

Transfers and approvals

Moves between warehouses and locations, with an approval flow where it matters: quantity sign-off by a manager, product priorities, per-user limits.

Replenishment transfers are created automatically, so picking zones do not run empty in the middle of an order.
