Inventory Management for
Manufacturers & Distributors
Inventory control for teams who are tired of guessing.
Track raw materials and finished goods with confidence.
Why ERP inventory isn't enough.
Your ERP tracks orders and financials, but it wasn't built for the warehouse floor:
- ERP inventory screens weren't designed for pickers and receivers - they're built for accountants
- No bin-level visibility - you know you have 500 units, but not where they are
- Tribal knowledge about lot rotation, expiry, and "the good stock"
- Stockouts on A-items while dead stock piles up in the back
WarePulse gives your floor team the visibility and workflows they need - while your ERP stays the system of record.
Raw and finished goods in one system.
Track the full lifecycle from incoming materials to shipped product.
Raw material locations
Know exactly where your raw materials are stored. Set reorder points and get alerts before you run out.
Work-in-progress tracking
Move materials to production and track what's in process. Simple flows that don't slow down your team.
Finished goods ready to ship
See what's available for orders. Separate staged inventory from available stock.
Lots, batches, and expiry under control.
FIFO / FEFO picking
WarePulse guides pickers to the right lot automatically. No more shipping new stock while old stock expires in the back.
- Pick oldest lot first (FIFO)
- Pick earliest expiry first (FEFO)
- Alerts for expiring inventory
Full traceability
Know exactly which lot went to which customer. Essential for recalls, quality issues, and compliance.
- Lot tracking from receipt to shipment
- Customer lot assignment on orders
- Audit trail for every movement
Designed to sit beside your ERP.
WarePulse isn't trying to replace your ERP. We handle the warehouse floor; your ERP handles orders and financials. Simple CSV imports/exports are supported today, and ERP data handoffs beyond CSV are scoped separately.
