The Problem
Warehouse operations outgrow spreadsheets, but enterprise WMS is overkill:
- Inventory tracking gaps: No visibility into what’s in stock and where
- Manual processes: Receiving, picking, and shipping rely on paper and memory
- Location management: Products stored without systematic organization
- Multi-location complexity: Inventory spread across warehouses or storage areas
- Integration needs: Warehouse data disconnected from e-commerce and accounting
Operational friction in the warehouse ripples through the entire order fulfillment process.
