Warehouse management software

Move every order with control. Keep every warehouse event visible.

Flatorb connects receiving, quality checks, directed putaway, replenishment, picking, packing and dispatch in one operational system — with the inventory accuracy and traceability management needs.

Where warehouse control breaks down

An inventory balance cannot tell the team what to do next.

Warehouses lose time and accuracy when receiving, locations, priorities, picking and dispatch live in separate spreadsheets, messages or staff memory.

Strong system fit01

Use a warehouse management system when you need:

  • Directed receiving, putaway, replenishment and picking
  • Accurate stock by warehouse, zone, bin, batch or serial
  • Multiple order types, customers, sites or warehouse teams
  • FIFO, FEFO, quality, quarantine or approval controls
  • Traceable fulfilment and measurable operational workload
A simpler setup may be enough02

Basic inventory control may work when you have:

  • One small store with low daily transaction volumes
  • Few locations and predictable movement patterns
  • No task allocation, wave planning or dispatch staging
  • Little batch, expiry, ownership or quality complexity
  • An existing system staff can reliably use at the work point

How warehouse execution becomes dependable

Give every user the next task, the right validation and a clear exception path.

The system connects the order, item, location, person and business rule at the moment physical work happens.

  1. 01PlanPrioritise arrivals, orders and workload.

    Turn expected receipts, demand and service commitments into executable work.

  2. 02DirectSend each task to the right person and location.

    Guide putaway, replenishment, picking, checking, packing and movement.

  3. 03ValidatePrevent the wrong item, quantity or action.

    Check identity, location, batch, status, sequence, tolerance and permissions.

  4. 04ImproveMake exceptions and bottlenecks visible early.

    Act on shortages, ageing work, discrepancies, delays and resource pressure.

End-to-end warehouse workflows

Control the movement from expected receipt to verified dispatch.

Flatorb configures workflows around your warehouse layout, order profiles, service levels, users, devices and connected systems.

01Inbound & receiving

Receive against what was expected.

Verify supplier, purchase order, item, batch, quantity, condition and discrepancies at arrival.

02Quality & putaway

Control acceptance and direct placement.

Apply inspection or quarantine rules and route accepted stock to the right zone, rack or bin.

03Replenishment & movement

Keep forward locations ready for work.

Trigger replenishment, transfers and relocations from demand, capacity and defined thresholds.

04Picking & allocation

Release the right stock in the right sequence.

Support FIFO, FEFO, batch, serial, zone, route, wave or priority-based fulfilment.

05Packing & dispatch

Verify every order before it leaves.

Check picked goods, capture packages, stage loads and maintain dispatch evidence.

06Returns & exceptions

Keep unusual work inside the operating record.

Control shortages, damage, rejected goods, customer returns, rework and stock adjustments.

Warehouse operating design

The software should reflect how work actually moves through your facility.

We study the warehouse layout, transaction volumes, user roles, order profiles and control points, then configure the simplest dependable execution model.

Identification & data capture

Put the right interface at every warehouse control point.

OCTO Ops can combine capture technologies according to transaction speed, environment, automation level and cost.

01Barcode and QRReliable scanning for receiving, putaway, picking, packing and dispatch.
02RFIDRapid counts, bulk visibility and hands-free control at selected points.
03Mobile and rugged devicesGuided work at racks, docks, staging areas and across large facilities.
04Fixed workstations and printersFor receiving desks, packing stations, gates, labels and documents.

OCTO Ops & integration

Keep detailed execution in the warehouse — and trusted transactions in the business systems.

OCTO Ops can operate as the warehouse execution layer while exchanging master data, orders, receipts, shipments and verified inventory movements with ERP, accounting, sales, e-commerce and customer platforms.

  • ✓ API, EDI or suitable scheduled data exchange
  • ✓ Purchase orders, sales orders, receipts and shipments
  • ✓ Item, supplier, customer, location and carrier master data
  • ✓ 3PL activity evidence and automated billing inputs

From activity to operational control

Answer the warehouse questions that determine service, cost and capacity.

The goal is not another dashboard. It is a dependable execution record that helps the team take the right action while work is moving.

Implementation approach

Stabilise the critical warehouse flow first, then expand with evidence.

A successful WMS implementation connects clear operating rules, trusted opening data, practical devices and adopted daily work.

  2. 02DesignLocations, rules, roles and task logic
  3. 03ConfigureWorkflows, devices, reports and interfaces

Warehouse system questions

Practical answers before you invest.

The right scope depends on order volumes, service levels, warehouse complexity, users, devices and connected systems.

Ask about your warehouse ↗
What is the difference between a WMS and inventory management software?

Inventory management focuses on what stock exists, its quantity, identity, status and movement. A WMS adds detailed warehouse execution: directed receiving, putaway, replenishment, task allocation, picking, packing, staging, dispatch and workload control.

Can the system support multiple warehouses and different location structures?

Yes. OCTO Ops can represent multiple sites, warehouses, zones, racks, bins, staging areas and virtual locations. Rules can differ by facility, customer, item category, order type or operational requirement.

Can we use barcode, QR and RFID together?

Yes. Barcode or QR is often ideal for deliberate one-at-a-time transactions, while RFID may add value for rapid counts, bulk capture or automated control points. We recommend technology according to each workflow rather than forcing one method everywhere.

Can it integrate with our ERP, accounting or e-commerce platform?

Yes. OCTO Ops can exchange master data, orders and verified warehouse transactions through appropriate APIs, EDI or scheduled data exchange. We define system ownership, error handling and reconciliation before implementation.

Can it support 3PL warehouses and customer billing?

Yes. The platform can separate inventory and workflows by owner or customer, capture billable handling and storage events, provide customer visibility and create verified inputs for automated billing.

How long does implementation take?

Timing depends on workflow complexity, data quality, integrations, devices and the number of sites. We normally begin with the most critical operating flow, validate it with real users and stock, then expand in controlled stages.

Begin with the bottleneck

Which warehouse event creates the most delay, searching or rework today?

Show us the receiving, storage, picking or dispatch flow that is hardest to control. We’ll help define the practical system and implementation path.
