Intelligent putaway recommendation

The right location, automatically. Every time.

For every putaway, replenishment and relocation, Waretracks calculates the right location based on article properties, load unit and your own warehouse rules. No guesswork at the rack, no misplacements that cost time later.

10-Minute Warehouse Check
In most warehouses, putaway depends on the experience of individual workers. New colleagues place goods suboptimally, heavy pallets end up in high-bay racks, fragile articles next to fast movers. The result: longer pick routes, damaged goods and locations that don't fit the load unit.

Waretracks takes location decisions out of gut feeling and turns them into a traceable, configurable rule.

What it looks like in daily operations: MAHO

MAHO, a food wholesaler from Cologne, uses the intelligent putaway recommendation in live operations. It is based on product groups: each group is assigned to a zone, chilled goods automatically go to the chilled zone, dry goods to the dry zone. Waretracks knows the product group from the ERP and only recommends suitable locations at every process step. Nobody has to remember which article goes where anymore, the system already knows.

We used to keep a lot in our heads and coordinate verbally. Today we see  in real time what's happening in the warehouse, from inbound  to shipment.  That gives us confidence,  especially with our wide range of articles and the many batches.
