WarehouseOS is an inventory management software designed to streamline and optimize warehouse operations. According to the vendor, the software aims to improve fulfillment speed, reduce costs, and eliminate inefficiencies in the picking, packing, receiving, and inventory management processes. WarehouseOS is said to cater to businesses of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises. The software is widely used by professionals and industries such as Third-Party Logistics (3PL), apparel, automotive, consumer goods, and wholesale distribution.

Key Features

Single Pick: According to the vendor, the software simplifies the picking process with an easy-to-use iPad app, ring scanner, and integrated picking cart system. It is claimed to eliminate lost or swapped order sheets by using an interactive iPad display with product images for verification. The vendor states that it can increase throughput by up to 25% by optimizing the picking route through the warehouse. The accuracy of each pick can be confirmed with scan verification.

Batch Pick: The vendor claims that the software optimizes productivity and increases speed by allowing users to pick up to 100 orders at a time. The patented Pick2Grid™ technology is said to make picking easier, more accurate, and more efficient. Each order can be assigned to its own unique compartment on the cart using the virtual representation of the cart on the grid display. The correct compartment on the grid can be highlighted to indicate where each picked item should go.

Cycle Count: According to the vendor, the software enables simple, reliable, and accurate inventory counts without the need for manual data recording. It is claimed to help avoid overselling and ensure sufficient inventory by easily confirming inventory count throughout the year. The vendor states that inventory count can be updated immediately after an employee counts the product items using one-step verification. Two-step verification is also available as an additional safeguard against manual count errors.

Packing: The vendor claims that the software ensures order accuracy by scanning items during picking and again during packing. It is said to seamlessly print labels and pack orders quickly and accurately with the built-in verification process. The software allows users to split orders between shipping containers with one click and track the contents of each split shipment by their container. Users can easily pick up the packing process where they left off and stay organized.

Receiving: According to the vendor, the software enables users to quickly and accurately confirm incoming vendor shipments and eliminate confusion on the receiving dock. It allows users to scan inventory off the truck and scan the receiving location to set the put-away zone. Purchase orders can be uploaded directly into WarehouseOS™ and compared against incoming inventory. The software facilitates putting away new items in designated warehouse locations and offers a choice between a one- or two-step verified receiving process.

Manage Inventory: The vendor states that the software helps organize and keep track of every item in the warehouse. Users can move, put, pull, and replenish inventory as needed to optimize warehouse space. The software provides a list of current locations for specific items and allows users to make on-the-fly adjustments to inventory locations and quantities. A history of inventory movement can be maintained to ensure everything is accounted for.

Pack One: According to the vendor, the software allows users to rapidly pick a hot-selling item and assign it to any customer who made that purchase. Users can identify a hot-selling item and load a bunch of it to the pick cart for quick access. Scanning an item is said to automatically pull up an existing order that contains that product. Users can pack the order and move on to the next item until all orders have been packed.
