Concept C, 2026-09-25. Photos and figures marked as placeholders are not final. Not for publication. About these concepts.

One WMS for every client in the building. Each on its own rules.

Start on best-practice templates. Configure per client and per site, without code.

Same floor. Same team. Different rules.

Settings resolve by instance, warehouse and client. Two clients in one building pick, pack, ship and bill their own way.

Illustrative mock-up with synthetic data: settings compared for two clients in the same warehouse: different stock rotation, pick confirmation, photo, pack, carrier and billing rules.

What .wms runs.

  1. Receiving

    ASNs by API, upload or ERP. Container and SSCC receiving.

  2. Inventory and traceability

    Every pallet, carton and tote licence-plated. 17 traceability fields.

  3. Putaway and replenishment

    Directed by bin, dimension or cube fit. Fast movers near despatch.

  4. Waves and picking

    Six wave methods, eight pick methods, Auto-Wave on a schedule.

  5. Packing and cartonisation

    3D cartonisation picks the carton before anyone walks.

  6. Carrier shipping

    Labels, connotes and manifests from one engine. Cheapest eligible service per job.

  7. 3PL billing

    Charges from warehouse transactions in 27 billing units, per client rate card.

  8. Client portal

    Clients order, track stock and report, with caps and approvals.

  9. Mobility

    Native Android and iOS. 16 scanner services, Zebra to ProGlove.

  10. Integrations and reporting

    Versioned API, about 60 business events, Power BI connectors.

The WMS decides. Our WCS moves it. One team owns both.

Waves release to shuttles, AMRs and goods-to-person systems. Picks, receipts and adjustments report back to the licence-plated record. The rules in between are readable, and the engineers who wrote them take the call.

PlaceholderNamed sites and degraded-mode ownership to confirm.
