Inventory and warehouse

Every unit by warehouse, bin, lot and status.

On-hand, reserved and available quantities by location, with lots and expiry dates, serials, user-defined statuses and cost layers. Waves, directed putaway, blind counts and QC gates run from the desk or from the RF scanner app.

Wave WAVE-26-000002, released, in the MAIN warehouse: three allocations from a sales order totalling 36 units and the three pick tasks it created

Screens shown are the product's own demo company, Harbor Foods. Figures are demo data.

Problems it solves

  • Stock counts that never match the books
  • Expired or short-dated stock shipped by mistake
  • Pickers walking the warehouse with paper lists
  • Receipts put away without a record of where they went

Why it matters

What changes for your business.

Every unit accounted for

On-hand, reserved and available by warehouse, location, bin, lot and status, with a movement log for every line.

Oldest expiry ships first

Allocation follows one rule for the office, the Sales app and the scanner, with no date checking by hand.

The dock works from a handheld

Picks, putaways, counts, packing and shipping run on the RF scanner app, in walking order.

Lots and expiry

The oldest expiry ships first, automatically.

Lots keep their manufactured and expiry dates from receipt onwards and the lots list flags what expires in 30 or 90 days. When an order is released to pick, allocation takes the oldest expiry first and the pick face before bulk.

The lots list with manufactured and expiry dates and on-hand quantity, including MED-PANTRY-BOX lot HF-PB-2610-01, made 10/23/2026, expiring 10/01/2027, 24 on hand

Receiving

Received against the order, put away by direction.

A goods receipt checks quantities against the purchase order line by line, posts stock and ledger once, and creates putaway tasks. Pallets get license plates with printable labels; items that require QC land in quarantine until released.

Items and stock

  • Item master with barcode and GTIN, tracking by lot or serial, costing method (average, FIFO, LIFO, last or standard), planning fields, units with stored conversions, alternates and pictures shared with the Sales app

  • On-hand per warehouse, location, bin, item, lot and status with reserved quantity, average cost and value; a movement log of every stock line
  • Numbered stock transactions (receipt, issue, transfer, adjustment, status change, conversion) that post quantity and ledger in one step
  • Lots with manufactured and expiry dates, serials that cannot be deleted once transacted, and statuses such as quarantine or hold that decide availability

Warehouse operations

  • Waves released to a staging bin, a desk task board for pick, putaway, replenish, count and pack tasks, pack-before-ship policy per warehouse
  • QC gate per plate for items flagged Requires QC: release, reject, partial, scrap, rework, return to vendor or use as is

Control

  • First-expiry-first allocation: oldest expiry, then oldest movement, pick-face bins before bulk, then pick sequence
  • Available to promise with one rule for orders, the Sales app and the scanner
  • Inventory counts from a snapshot with count sheets, found items and one variance adjustment; blind cycle counts by bin on the scanner

Good to know

Before you implement, and what this capability does not do today.

We state limits plainly so your evaluation is based on the product as it is; ask in the demo about anything on the roadmap.

Implementation and integration notes

  • Goods receipts are entered from the office app; putaway, picking, counts, packing and shipping run on the handheld.
  • Bins, zones and pick-face slotting are optional per warehouse; a simple warehouse runs with locations only.
  • Opening stock is migrated by Fritech's team from your files; there is no self-service import screen for items or stock.

Current limits

  • No landed cost, cross-docking, consignment settlement, catch weight or ABC classification; counts are started by a person, not scheduled.
  • Expiry and reorder-point checks are filters and a manual run; there are no alerts.
  • Label printing covers license plates; item and bin labels are not printed. Warehouse-level access scopes are saved but not yet enforced.
