Full overview from receipt to delivery

Business Central brings item tracking, multiple warehouses and handheld scanners together in one system, so an item can be followed from supplier to customer. If you have a webshop, the integration decides whether the stock figures add up. We build and maintain it ourselves.

Everyday challenges

The stock figures do not add up

Manual entry causes errors, and the gap between system and shelf grows until the next stock count.

The webshop sells items that are not there

Stock levels are synchronised too rarely or via CSV files, so customers order items that are sold out.

Picking and packing runs on paper

Pick lists are printed, and errors are only discovered when the customer calls.

Returns cannot be traced

When an item comes back, it is hard to find the lot, the supplier and the original order.

How Business Central solves it

Handheld scanners and mobile WMS

With a mobile WMS app such as Tasklet, receipt, picking, packing and shipping are confirmed with a scanner and written directly to Business Central.

Item and batch tracking

Serial numbers, lot numbers and expiry dates follow the item from receipt to customer. In a recall, you find the affected customers and orders with item tracing.

Multiple warehouses and cross-docking

Locations, zones and bins with rules for put-away and replenishment. Cross-docking sends goods from receipt straight on to shipping.

Stock levels to the webshop

Sales, purchasing and inventory share the same data, so salespeople see the available quantity now, not yesterday. With the Shopify connector or our WooCommerce Connector, the same figures go out to the webshop.

A typical workflow

  1. 1

    Goods receiving scans the incoming pallet, and the receipt is posted against the purchase order.

  2. 2

    Webshop and sales orders land in BC and become picks on the handheld scanner.

  3. 3

    The warehouse worker picks, packs and confirms, and the shipping label and packing slip are printed.

  4. 4

    Stock levels are updated in BC and synchronised to the webshop.
