Why the current way breaks

What this looks like on a normal Tuesday

Warehouse pickers spend much of their shift walking around searching for misplaced items.

Fulfillment delays and more order errors.

Stock adjustments are made manually without an audit trail of who moved the items or why.

Unexplained shrinkage and inventory write-offs at fiscal year end.

What we build

Engineered capabilities, not generic templates

C-01

Barcode & RFID Mobile Scanner Workflows

Ruggedized Android/iOS scanner application for receiving, putaway, wave picking, internal transfers, and physical inventory counts.

Technical detail

WebSockets offline-resilient scanner UI, GS1 barcode parsing, hardware camera support.

C-02

Dynamic Putaway & Picking Routes

Optimized pick-path generation reducing travel distance across warehouse aisles and mezzanine levels.

Technical detail

Dijkstra pick-path routing algorithm, wave picking batch engine.

Scan-verified

Every pick and put-away

Wrong-item picks are blocked at the scanner.

Routed

Pick paths through the warehouse

Generated from bin locations instead of picker memory.

We measure your baseline in discovery and report against it. No borrowed percentages.

Automation built in

Workflows that run on top of this module

Cycle Count Discrepancy → Quarantine & Adjustment Review

Floor scanner detects variance during routine cycle count, automatically quarantines the lot, and alerts the warehouse manager.

S1 · Trigger Count Variance Detected
S2 · System Lot Automatically Quarantined
S3 · AI step Shrinkage Analysis AI
S4 · Human gate Supervisor Approval Signoff

Event-driven trigger with retry queue · human sign-off where set

How an Inventory & Warehouse project runs, week by week

Open any stage to see what we do, what you receive and what we need from you.

We sit with the people doing the work and map how orders, stock and money actually move today, including the spreadsheets nobody mentions in the first meeting.

What happens

Process walk-throughs with key users
Inventory of every data source
Quantifying where time is lost

What you get

Current-state process map
Data source and quality audit
Scope baseline

What we need from you

Sample invoices, orders and spreadsheets
Two-hour interviews with each department lead

Risk handled

Critical spreadsheets that management does not know staff rely on.

We design the data model, roles, approval rules and integrations on paper before anything is configured.

What happens

Data model design
Chart of accounts review
Approval matrix design

What you get

Solution blueprint document
Role-by-role screen wireframes
Data dictionary

What we need from you

Sign-off on the chart of accounts and permission structure

Risk handled

Sales and warehouse asking for conflicting things mid-build.

We provision environments, configure the standard modules to the blueprint, and build any approved extensions.

What happens

Environment setup and hardening
Module configuration
Approved custom development

What you get

Working staging environment
Configured modules matching the blueprint

What we need from you

Tax settings, bank details and branding assets
Named admin users

Risk handled

Configuration drifting away from what was agreed in the blueprint.

We extract customers, vendors, products and balances from your current tools, remove duplicates and load trial datasets you can check.

What happens

Migration scripts
Duplicate detection
Trial balance reconciliation

What you get

Staging database loaded with cleaned data
Reconciliation sheet

What we need from you

Decisions on flagged duplicates
Lists of inactive products and customers to archive

Risk handled

Bad legacy data being carried into the new system on day one.

We connect the system to the tools that stay: banks, e-commerce stores, payroll, shipping and anything else agreed in the blueprint.

What happens

API and webhook connectors
Error handling and retries
End-to-end integration tests

What you get

Tested integrations in staging
Integration runbook

What we need from you

API credentials and vendor contacts for connected systems

Risk handled

Silent sync failures that nobody notices until month-end.

Your staff test real scenarios in staging and learn the system role by role, with recorded guides they can return to.

What happens

Role-based training sessions
Scenario testing
Fix sprints on UAT findings

What you get

Signed UAT test matrix
Recorded training library

What we need from you

Key users available about four hours a week for testing

Risk handled

Staff meeting the system for the first time on go-live day.

We freeze the old system, move the final changes across, verify opening balances and switch over, usually across a weekend.

What happens

Final delta migration
Opening balance verification
Hardware and scanner checks

What you get

Live production system
Signed cutover checklist

What we need from you

A data-entry freeze on the old system at an agreed time

Risk handled

Downtime during trading hours.

The team that built the system stays on it after go-live: fixing issues on the day they surface, adjusting screens staff struggle with, and sitting with finance through the first month-end close.
