Warehouse management system
Receiving, stock counts, picking and dispatch on the phones your staff already carry, set up around how your warehouse works.
The problem
Off-the-shelf warehouse systems assume a standard warehouse. Yours has its own flow, its own paperwork and its own places where stock goes missing, and the software makes you work around it.
We build the system around that flow. It can be as small as receiving and stock counts, or run everything from the supplier's truck to your customer's door. You pick the parts that fix your problems and add the rest later.
One example: a South African supermarket that supplies its own shop from its own warehouse. It ran on paper, with no way to check a delivery against what was sent. Its system now tracks almost 9 000 products and nearly 6 000 pallets.
What you get
What it can include
- Receiving that checks each delivery against what was ordered, with photos of invoices and damage
- Stock tracked the way yours needs it: by location, pallet, batch or serial number
- Labels with barcodes or QR codes, scanned on ordinary phones or on dedicated scanners
- Picking and packing queues, sorted by order, route or priority
- Dispatch with loading, drivers and proof of delivery
- Transfers between warehouses, branches or shops
- Stock takes and cycle counts, with every adjustment recorded against a name
- Customer orders, trade orders and returns to suppliers
- Links to your accounting software or online store
- Reports on stock and discrepancies, with roles so each person sees only what their job needs
Steps
From first call to launch
20-minute call
You tell us where stock goes missing or where time goes. We tell you if a custom system is worth it, or if an off-the-shelf one will do.
Walk the floor
We follow stock through your warehouse, from delivery to dispatch, and agree what the system must record at each step. A fixed quote follows within two working days.
Build in fortnights
Working screens on your staff's phones every two weeks. The people who receive and pick stock test it on real deliveries.
Go live with a count
We start with a full stock take, so the system's numbers match the shelves on day one, then train each role.

Questions
What people ask on the first call
If yours isn't here, WhatsApp it and you'll have an answer within one working day.
Yes. One is in use at a South African supermarket that supplies its own shop from its own warehouse, tracking almost 9 000 products and nearly 6 000 pallets. Yours won't look the same, because it's built around your warehouse. We don't name clients here without their permission.
Off-the-shelf systems are built for a generic warehouse and often priced in dollars per user. If your process is unusual, you pay for features you don't use and work around the ones you need. If a standard system fits, we'll tell you.
Yes. Many warehouses start with receiving and stock counts, because that's where the numbers go wrong first. Picking, dispatch and reports can follow once the basics are trusted.
Not to start. It runs on ordinary Android phones and iPhones, and labels print on a normal label printer. Dedicated scanners can be added when your volume needs them.
You own your stock records and data, and can export them any time. By default we keep the software and code, licensed to you while you're subscribed. If you'd rather own the code outright, tell us on the call and we'll quote that option in writing.
