Maintaining data on business partners (clients, suppliers, internal organizations, etc.) that interact with the warehouse, inventory items (goods, raw materials, finished products, etc.) stored in the warehouse and their packaging, warehouse employees, and transport vehicles. Synchronizing master data with the accounting system.

Describing the warehouse plan (storage zones, racks, bins, and their handling rules) using a specialized visual editor that accounts for their physical locations. Representing various zone types with their characteristics: block stacking, wide-aisle and narrow-aisle front racking, double – deep racks, drive-in racks, gravity flow racks, shelving racks, mezzanines etc. Enabling movement between zones via transit areas.

Planning and executing warehouse operations using diverse accounting analytics: storage units accounting for nested packaging structures, measured goods (weight/length/volume), expiration dates and production dates, production batches, excise stamps and other labeling systems, serial numbers, etc.

Retrieving data on expected inbound shipments and scheduled outbound shipments from the accounting system at varying detail levels and executing preparatory actions. Incorporating diverse shipment execution requirements: scheduled shipment date/time, order priority, counterparty requirements for remaining shelf life, etc.

Processes for managing inbound flow include goods receiving, inbound inspection, putaway operations, and conclude with sending a receiving completion notification to the accounting system. Receiving can be carried out on cargo packages or positions. Receiving processes may be multi-stage (preliminary receiving) or simplified (blind receiving). The receiving process may be integrated with putaway operations and include additional steps, such as relabeling received goods. Putaway planning is implemented through flexible mechanisms that incorporate multiple strategies and algorithms.

Processes for managing outbound flow include order picking, consolidation, packing, shipping to consignees, and conclude with sending packing confirmation followed by shipment confirmation to the accounting system. Picking planning is implemented through flexible mechanisms that incorporate multiple strategies and algorithms. Shipment preparation may involve: packing and consolidation, pick accuracy checks, data entry for shipped goods, compliance with consignee requirements: labeling and price tagging (often required for retail), adherence to size/weight limits for cargo packages, printing packing slips, etc.

Planning picking zone replenishment and implementing slotting optimization to improve storage space utilization. Cycle counting with flexible inventory audit plans for specific zones, bins, or product groups. Storage write-offs. Surplus postings. Inventory status modifications. Kitting/ de-kitting operations.

Forecasting resource and workforce requirements using performance standards for various operations. Calculating employee/team productivity against benchmarks, tracking error rates, assigning performance ratings, and determining incentive metrics.

Planning and assigning tasks for material handling equipment with prioritization that ensures optimal utilization of high-cost assets and increased utilization rates. Collecting operational data from warehouse equipment and machinery.

Allocation of direct and indirect costs to processed cargo (logistics cost).

Maintenance of rate schedules by service type for depositors. Calculation of the cost of storage and handling services provided to the depositor.

Analytical reporting on warehouse inventory across various accounting dimensions. Operational reporting on the processing status of inbound and outbound flows.
