Business Challenge
Stock accuracy sat near 82%, causing oversells and emergency transfers. Replenishment was decided from a monthly spreadsheet, so fast movers ran dry while slow stock consumed shelf space.
Our Solution
We rebuilt operations around scan-verified movements, added bin-level location tracking, and introduced a forecasting model that drives replenishment suggestions per warehouse.

Chosen for longevity and operational simplicity, not novelty — every dependency here is one we still support today.

Inside the build
Project Features
Bin-level tracking
Every unit has a known location; putaway and picking are scan-verified end to end.
Demand forecasting
Seasonality-aware forecasts per SKU and warehouse drive reorder points.
Automated replenishment
Purchase and transfer suggestions generated nightly with buyer override.
Cycle counting
Continuous counting schedules replace disruptive full stock takes.
Pick optimisation
Wave picking with route ordering that cuts walking distance per order.
Supplier scorecards
Lead time and fill-rate performance tracked automatically per supplier.
Development Process
Warehouse walkthroughs timing each pick, pack and putaway movement.
Historic sales cleaned and modelled before any forecasting logic was written.
Scanner-first screens with minimal typing and unmistakable confirmation states.
Movement engine built as an append-only ledger for perfect stock traceability.
One depot ran the new flow for six weeks while accuracy was measured daily.
Remaining depots onboarded with a repeatable two-week playbook.
The Results
Stock accuracy rose above 99% and carrying cost fell as replenishment shifted from guesswork to forecast-driven ordering.
