Location-aware execution

Control receiving, slotting, transfers, and variance at warehouse speed.

Warehouse and logistics teams use AWRA for receiving, location control, transfers, cycle counts, scanner workflows, and approvals.

Inventory software for warehouses
Logistics & Warehousing operations

The problem

A warehouse runs on locations, and a spreadsheet does not know what a location is. Stock is somewhere in the building, and finding it is somebody’s memory.

Receiving against nothing

A delivery is unloaded and counted, but not checked against the order it belongs to.

Stock without a shelf

The system says the warehouse has it; nobody can say which aisle.

Counts that never close

Variances are found and argued about, and the correction is typed over the number.

How AWRA solves it

What Logistics & Warehousing teams get.

Yard and fleet issues raised from a phone as tickets, routed to the right department queue with first-response and resolution timers running.

Scan a code in Scan & Act and reach the item, asset, transfer or purchase order behind it without hunting for a screen.

Reduce stock movement ambiguity across receiving, storage, dispatch, and transfer.

Give teams scanner-ready workflows for faster item and document lookup.

Control adjustments and variances without slowing warehouse execution.

Plan shifts against inbound and outbound volume, and pay the hours the gate recorded rather than the hours someone remembered.

Typical workflow

The routines AWRA runs for Logistics & Warehousing.

Inbound receiving

  1. 1 Match delivery to PO
  2. 2 Capture quantity differences
  3. 3 Assign storage location
  4. 4 Notify procurement or finance of exceptions

Transfer lifecycle

  1. 1 Create transfer request
  2. 2 Approve and dispatch
  3. 3 Track in-transit stock
  4. 4 Receive, return, or flag shrinkage

Cycle count resolution

  1. 1 Schedule count areas
  2. 2 Capture variance
  3. 3 Route adjustment approval
  4. 4 Update stock and audit trail

An illustrative profile, not a named customer

Where they are today

Two sites, a few hundred bin locations, and receiving recorded on paper then keyed in at the end of the day.

Where they would start

They would start with warehouses and bin locations, run an opening count, and put receiving on the phone first.

How the six-step rollout works

What changes after implementation

Before and after, in the routines you already run.

Before After
Receiving keyed in at end of day Receiving on the phone at the dock, against the order
Stock somewhere in the building Stock held per shelf location
Count corrections typed over Variances raised as adjustments with an approver
Transfers signed on paper Transfers signed for on a phone at both ends

How the rollout goes

1

Define warehouses, bins, item categories, transfer reasons, receiving rules, and adjustment approval limits.

2

Introduce scanner workflows after item codes and warehouse locations are clean enough to trust.

3

Use transfer aging and variance reports as the first warehouse operating scorecard.

What you can measure afterwards

Receiving variance
Transfer aging
Location accuracy
Cycle count variance
Dispatch readiness

Questions

What Logistics & Warehousing buyers ask.

Can we track stock to the shelf?

Yes. Stock is held per warehouse and per bin or shelf location, and per batch where you track them.

How are count variances handled?

A count never overwrites stock. Variances become adjustments that wait for approval, with a reason and a reference, in the adjustments register.

Can we scan barcodes?

Yes. Print barcode or QR labels, scan to find an item or a transfer, and scan during receiving and counts on the mobile app.

Does receiving work without signal?

The mobile app queues check-ins, transfers and count lines offline and sends them when the connection returns.
