What to include in your cost model

Departure
Measure the quantity actually shipped using the agreed handling basis.
Receipt
Record each partial receipt without duplicating handling activity.
Transport
Keep inter-site carriage and contract-specific warehouse handling distinct.

What makes the first operation ready

  1. Partial receipts

    Reconcile successive receipts against the quantity dispatched.

  2. Quantity control

    Reject a receipt exceeding the outstanding shipped quantity.

  3. Site permissions

    Verify network visibility does not grant unauthorised warehouse actions.

The technology behind the workflow

The technology behind the workflow

Network views connect WMS operations, transfers and reporting; ERP exchanges follow an agreed data-authority mapping.

At your fingertips

Operators use enrolled devices; managers access the mobile functions permitted for their role.

Applications

Prepare your first operation

  • Map sites and responsibilities
  • Configure permitted modules and data scopes
  • Agree transfer and reconciliation procedures

Organise the network around your real sites

  • Sites and warehouses

    Each place retains zones, docks, stations, capacity, hours and operating rules.

  • Regions and markets

    Countries, channels, clients and service areas frame authorised flows.

  • Transfer lanes

    Origin, destination, custody and status make inter-site movement explicit.

Give everyone the access they need

Access by role and site

Each person can access the clients, sites and operations that match their role.

Isolation

Head office sees the network. Each team changes only the sites and operations it is authorised to manage.

Preserve local authority

Receiving, inventory, quality, fulfilment, yard and equipment continue to execute in the site's WMS. Head office does not erase custody or the local decision.

A shared overview for your decisions

  • Inventory position

    Read quantities by site, status, lot and useful horizon.

  • Load and service

    Compare inbound, orders, work queues, capacity and exceptions.

  • Performance and finance

    Relate activity, service level and cost without merging accounts.

Follow stock from departure to receiving

  1. Decide

    Justify quantity, source site, target site and priority.

  2. Dispatch

    Pick, pack and close custody at origin.

  3. Transport

    Associate the corresponding TMS or TTMS leg.

  4. Receive

    Observe quantity, discrepancy and new custody at the target site.

Prepare your next sites

A reference configuration accelerates following sites. Local differences stay named, reviewed, promoted and reversible instead of being copied without control.

Before you decide

Plan your multi-site organisation.

WMS connects the sites. OMS, TMS, TTMS and finance are added according to the flows you need to coordinate.

Can each site keep its own rules?

Sites retain their zones, teams, capacity and operating rules. A shared configuration can provide a starting point, with local differences identified and approved.

What can head office see?

Depending on granted access, a consolidated view shows inventory, workload, service and exceptions. Each person can act only on the sites, clients and operations they are authorised to manage.

How are transfers between sites followed?

The journey connects the agreed quantity, preparation at origin, transport and receiving at the destination. Receiving discrepancies remain visible so dispatched and received quantities can be compared.
