Store Transfer and Warehouse Picking with ERP / WMS

Footwear and apparel carry many size and colour combinations, and stores transfer stock frequently. PDAs and barcode/RFID printers capture store allocation, transfer, return and stocktake data, integrated with ERP and WMS through the middleware so head office, warehouse and store stock stay consistent.

Core capabilities

  • Multi-combination SKUsStyle × size × colour combinations are carried in a single barcode or RFID label.
  • Store allocation and transferPDAs scan allocation, transfer and return movements and send the data back in real time.
  • Warehouse picking and checkingPortal readers combined with PDAs pick in bulk by store or wave, with a second check before dispatch.
  • Store stocktakeHandheld terminals speed up stocktake and surface discrepancies on the spot.
  • Three-way stock consistencyThrough the middleware, ERP and WMS keep head office, warehouse and store stock in step.
  • Zero intrusionExisting ERP and WMS stay untouched; we build and commission the interfaces.

How it works

The hard part is not scanning — it is stock accuracy across many combinations and frequent transfers.

01

Label and coding rules

Define style-size-colour coding and label formats so a single scan carries every attribute.

02

Store allocation

Pick to store orders by scan, with results written back to ERP and WMS in real time.

03

Warehouse picking

Pick in bulk by store or wave; portal readers read whole cartons for speed.

04

Transfers and returns

A full scan trail across store-to-store transfers, returns and exchanges.

05

Store stocktake

Handheld stocktake lists discrepancies by size and colour.

06

Three-way reconciliation

Head office, warehouse and store stock reconciled periodically with differences listed automatically.

A footwear & apparel brand

Store transfers and warehouse picking integrated with ERP / WMS

With many style, size and colour combinations and frequent store transfers, head office, warehouse and store stock never reconciled. PDAs and barcode/RFID printers capture allocation, transfer, return and stocktake data, integrated with ERP and WMS through the middleware.

Stock accuracy rises from 70–85% with barcodes to over 99%; store stocktake falls from 4–8 hours to minutes; shrinkage drops 30–50%; head office, warehouse and store stock is reconciled from item-level movement records.
