If you've ever managed inventory across multiple warehouses using spreadsheets, sticky notes, or a patchwork of disconnected tools, you know the chaos firsthand. Lost inventory, expired stock slipping through the cracks, and the dreaded "we thought we had that in stock" conversation with customers are all too common. As of February 11, 2026, that changes with our comprehensive Warehouse Management System (WMS) that brings enterprise-grade inventory control to businesses of all sizes.

This isn't just another inventory tracker. You get multi-warehouse support, lot and batch control, intelligent picking strategies, and a complete audit trail that ensures you always know exactly where your inventory is, when it arrived, and when it needs to move. Whether you're running a single fulfillment center or coordinating stock across multiple distribution facilities, you now have the tools that were previously reserved for companies with six-figure software budgets.

The Warehouse Management System transforms how you track, move, and manage physical inventory across your entire operation. You can create and manage multiple physical warehouses—whether they're distribution centers, fulfillment facilities, storage locations, or cross-dock operations—each with its own address, type, and operational status. Within each warehouse, you organize inventory using a hierarchical location structure that mirrors real-world warehouse layouts: aisles contain racks, racks contain shelves, and shelves contain bins.

Every piece of inventory is tracked with precision through lot and batch control. You record lot numbers, received dates, expiration dates, and supplier lot numbers, ensuring full traceability from receipt to shipment. Pallet management through License Plate Number (LPN) tracking gives you visibility into bulk movements, while the system maintains a single source of truth through a centralized inventory ledger that captures every movement, adjustment, and transfer.

The system handles your core warehouse workflows from end to end. Receiving processes inbound shipments with lot assignment and arrival confirmation. Picking fulfills orders using intelligent strategies—First In First Out (FIFO), First Expired First Out (FEFO), or Nearest Location—to optimize efficiency and product freshness. Auto-generated pick lists guide your team through the fulfillment process from assignment through packing and shipping. Transfers move stock internally within warehouses or between facilities, while cycle counts reconcile physical inventory with system records and detect variances before they become problems.

Manual warehouse management doesn't scale, and the consequences compound as you grow. Without proper lot tracking, you can't recall specific batches when quality issues arise. Without location management, you waste hours searching for inventory that exists somewhere in your facility. Without picking strategies, you ship older stock while fresher inventory expires on the shelf. Each of these problems costs you money, damages customer relationships, and creates compliance risks in regulated industries.

This WMS eliminates those risks by creating accountability and visibility at every step. The immutable stock movements ledger records every inventory change—receives, picks, adjustments, transfers, cycle counts, returns, damages, allocations, and deallocations—giving you a complete audit trail that satisfies both internal controls and external compliance requirements. You can export stock movement history for analysis, trace any discrepancy back to its source, and demonstrate chain of custody for regulated products. For businesses handling perishables, pharmaceuticals, or any time-sensitive inventory, FEFO picking ensures you always ship the products closest to expiration first, reducing waste and protecting customers.

The Warehouse Management System is available to users with Owner, Admin, or Manager roles when operating in Complex interface mode. The basic WMS functionality is included in Complex mode, while advanced features like kitting and multi-location inventory require the kitting_enabled and multi_location_enabled plan gates to be activated. You access all WMS features through the /wms/* path in your application.

You begin by creating your warehouse records, defining each physical location with its address, type (Distribution Center, Fulfillment, Storage, or Cross Dock), and operational status. Within each warehouse, you build your location hierarchy to match your physical layout. Create zones for different operational areas—Receiving, Shipping, Picking, Bulk, Staging, and Quarantine—then organize your storage locations using the Aisle → Rack → Shelf → Bin structure. The system provides both a location tree view for browsing and barcode lookup for rapid location identification during operations.

When inventory arrives, you process it through the receiving workflow. You confirm the arrival, assign lot numbers, record received dates and expiration dates, and capture supplier lot information. For palletized shipments, you create License Plate Numbers (LPNs) to track entire pallet movements. The system records each receipt in the stock movements ledger and updates inventory balances across your locations in real time.

Order fulfillment begins with auto-generated pick lists that the system creates from your orders. You assign pick lists to warehouse staff, who start the picking process and follow the system's location guidance. The picking strategy—FIFO, FEFO, or Nearest—determines which inventory to pick based on your business rules. FIFO picks the oldest received inventory first, FEFO picks inventory closest to expiration, and Nearest picks from the most convenient location to minimize travel time. Once picking completes, you pack the order and ship it, with each step recorded in the audit trail.

You maintain accuracy through cycle counts that reconcile physical inventory with system records. Choose from Full counts (entire warehouse), Spot counts (random locations), or ABC counts (prioritizing high-value items). The system detects variances between physical counts and system balances, allowing you to investigate and adjust before discrepancies grow. You also perform inventory adjustments for damages, returns, or corrections, and execute transfers to move stock between locations within a warehouse or between different warehouse facilities. Every adjustment, transfer, and count creates an immutable record in the stock movements ledger.
