Warehouse Management
Receive, store, pick and dispatch faster, with stock accuracy that holds between counts instead of decaying.
- 99%+
- Stock accuracy held between counts
- Seconds
- Pallet verified at the dock
- No shutdown
- Cycle counting during operations
A warehouse loses money in three places: time at the dock, time spent looking for stock, and errors that reach the customer. RFID attacks all three. A gate reader verifies a pallet without unwrapping it, bin-level locations end the hunting, and a dispatch read catches the wrong load at the door. Cycle counting happens while the warehouse runs, so accuracy stops being an annual event.
The problem today
What it looks like before
If two or three of these describe your operation, this solution is worth a conversation. If none of them do, it probably is not.
What we hear
Goods receipt is a manual count that holds the truck at the dock and still misses short supply.
Stock is recorded at warehouse level, so pickers search and new staff take weeks to be productive.
A physical count needs a shutdown, so it happens rarely and the numbers drift in between.
Dispatch errors are discovered by the customer, which is the most expensive place to find them.
How it works
Step by step, on site
Not an architecture diagram — the actual sequence of what happens to a physical thing.
- 1
Tag at source or at receipt
Cartons and pallets carry RFID smart labels, applied by your supplier where possible, or printed and applied at goods receipt.
- 2
Read at the dock
An RFID portal at the dock door reads the whole pallet as the forklift passes, matched instantly against the purchase order or ASN.
- 3
Directed put-away
The system assigns a bin by rule — fast movers near dispatch, batch and expiry grouped — and the handheld confirms the tag went where it was told.
- 4
Pick and verify
Pick lists on the Android handheld, with a tag read confirming the right item and quantity before the line closes.
- 5
Dispatch gate check
The loaded order passes a gate reader that compares the actual load to the order. A wrong or short load stops at the door.
- 6
Count while running
A zone is counted with a handheld during normal operation. Variances come with the last recorded movement of each item.

What changes
Results and benefits
Figures come from real deployments. They depend on site conditions, which is why we commit to numbers for your site only after a trial.
- 99%+
- Stock accuracy held between counts
- Seconds
- Pallet verified at the dock
- No shutdown
- Cycle counting during operations
- Dock-to-stock time falls because receipt is a drive-through rather than a count.
- Picking accuracy rises because the handheld will not accept the wrong tag silently.
- Dispatch errors are caught at your door instead of at the customer's.
- Stock accuracy stays high all year, which is what actually reduces safety stock.
Example deployment
What one site looked like
Client names are withheld until we have written permission to publish them.
FMCG distribution centre, 18 dock doors
Pallets tagged at goods receipt and read through portals on four inbound doors. Dock-to-stock time dropped from an average of 90 minutes to under 25. Weekly zone cycle counting replaced the quarterly shutdown, and stock accuracy moved from the low 90s to above 99% and stayed there.
Implementation & support
How the project actually runs
Including the parts that take the longest and the parts you have to own rather than us.
- 1
Site survey
Door widths, forklift speeds, racking layout, metal and liquid content of the goods, and existing WMS or ERP interfaces.
- 2
Tag and read-rate trial
We test tag types on your actual products and packaging until the read rate is proven. This step is not optional and it is where projects are saved.
- 3
Portal installation
Readers, antennas, light stacks and sensors installed at the doors that carry the most traffic, and tuned against real pallets.
- 4
Software configuration
Bins, zones, put-away and picking rules, users, and the integration with your ERP.
- 5
Parallel run
The new flow runs alongside the old one on a subset of doors until the numbers agree, then the old process is retired.

Dock portals, directed put-away, verified picking and cycle counting without a shutdown.

Questions
Before you commit
Do we have to tag at item level?
No, and usually you should not start there. Pallet and carton tagging gives most of the benefit for a fraction of the tag cost. Item level is added where the value per item justifies it.
What read rate is realistic?
On a properly commissioned portal with tested tags, above 99%. Below that, the cause is almost always tag choice, antenna placement or product content, not the reader — which is why the trial matters.
Will it work with our ERP?
Yes. The WMS runs the physical warehouse and exchanges orders, receipts and stock with your ERP. We build that interface as part of the project.
