Why Choose a self-hosted custom Warehouse Management System?

A Warehouse Management System in reality often needs to talk to different systems, in order to scale up and be useful in complex enterprise-level organisations. We streamline this complexity with this platform.

One central source of truth

stock, locations, orders, movements and processes all held in one system rather than scattered across multiple platforms.

Multiple warehouses, one system

manage stock across multiple sites and warehouses, while giving the whole organisation a single view of inventory

Warehouses can talk to each other

transfer stock between sites, see availability elsewhere and coordinate fulfilment without relying on separate systems.

We have the programmers to build you anything

Built around your business

unlike off-the-shelf WMS software, the system can be programmed around your exact processes and requirements

Connects to your existing systems

integrate with accounts, ERP, e-commerce, CRM, couriers, purchasing, Excel, manufacturing and other business systems.

Automate repetitive processes

stock movements, replenishment, transfers, notifications, order processing and reporting can all be automated.

Real-time reporting across the organisation

management can see stock levels, orders, movements and warehouse performance across every location.

Scales as you grow

add warehouses, users, products, processes and integrations without having to replace the whole system.

Your data stays under your control

self-hosting gives you greater control over your data, infrastructure, backups and security.

We make it bespoke to your requirements  see here on our bespoke programming page

No being trapped by an off-the-shelf workflow

if your business process changes, the software can change with it.

Complex business rules are possible

the system can make decisions based on stock levels, locations, customers, orders, priorities and other business data.

Designed for enterprise complexity

multiple sites, warehouses, departments and external systems can all operate from the same underlying platform.

We learn your precise requirements by working in with you week-to-week  see here if you want a CTO

Consignment-style inventory

manage stock physically held at a customer’s premises while retaining control and visibility from your central system.

Track ownership separately from location

know exactly what stock you own, what has been allocated to a customer and what has actually been received.

Stock can be physically at the customer without being sold

inventory remains yours until the agreed point of receipt or consumption.

When the project is finished, you reduce the number of programmers you utilise. Simple.

Automatic invoicing on receipt

when the customer receives stock, the system can automatically trigger the appropriate invoice.

Full audit trail

track when stock was dispatched, delivered, received and ultimately transferred from your inventory to the customer.

Real-time stock and financial position

understand both where your stock physically is and whether it has become billable.

Cloud-Based Warehouse Management Systems

For businesses that prefer flexibility and accessibility, we also provide cloud-hosted WMS solutions.

With a cloud-based Warehouse Management System, you benefit from:

- Anywhere access – Manage stock from multiple sites or remotely.

- Barcode, batch & lot number tracking – Real-time data on stock movement.

- Alerts & notifications – Be informed of low stock, expiring batches, or discrepancies instantly.

- Integrations Seamlessly connect with ERP, MRP, eCommerce, and AI-powered demand forecasting tools.

No reliance on external vendors.

/  Customisable workflows

/  Long-term cost savings
