Every pallet gets a next move.

The questions asked most.

Where does received stock go?: The RECEIVING bin, then putaway moves it to its destination bin.
Can stock go from the dock to a truck?: Receive against the shipment, put away, then release a wave or transfer and ship. One stock debit.
Who decides which bin?: Putaway assigns the bin. Replenishment finds low pick faces and plans source bins.

Explore inventory

Five products meet at the dock.

What orbit takes and hands back.

See the platform

coreThe approved range and intake plan, so stock is expected before the truck.
beaconThe PO and confirmed shipment. Receiving counts against them.
core plusAllocation and replenishment quantities become picks.
vertexThe order to fulfill; orbit picks it. Stock on hand goes back, so vertex promises what exists.
horizonEvery movement and supplier invoice, to the ledger.

yukti tops up the pick face.

When a front bin is low, it plans the source bin and raises the transfer, or the PO when the warehouse is short. You approve, or let it run.

Three pick faces in zone A and B are under minimum with waves due today. Want me to plan the top-ups?

Yes

YUKTI

Two come from reserve. Rain Jacket Moss M from R-02-41 and S from R-02-40, both hold enough for today’s waves. Softshell Ink M has nothing in reserve and nothing inbound, so that one is a purchase order, not a transfer.
