Goods receipt & inventory
the digital warehouse intake

A delivery is received by scanning on the scanner, each item gets its bin location, and the stock is visible in the system the moment it is confirmed, to you and to your client. No paper goods receipt notes and no later data entry back in the office. You can also run a stocktake, partial or full, straight from the scanner, without closing the warehouse.

1 Client announces a delivery · Goods receipt order
2 The order appears automatically on the scanner
3 Scan the item + enter location · Create goods receipt
4 Stock visible in the warehouse · in real time
Two ways to receive

Announced delivery or goods on the dock: both covered

Goods receipt runs through a goods receipt order announced by the client, or with a direct goods receipt note on the scanner.

Goods receipt order

The client announces, the warehouse receives

The fulfillment client creates a goods receipt order in their profile, a list of the goods that will be delivered to your warehouse. The order appears automatically on the warehouse worker's scanner.

  • The warehouse knows in advance what and how much is arriving
  • Receive by scanning or by manually confirming quantities
  • Discrepancies between the announcement and the actual delivery are visible at once
Goods receipt note

Direct receiving without an announcement

Goods on the dock with no announcement? On the scanner the warehouse worker opens a Goods receipt note, selects the company and the supplier, and scans the items.

  • Scan the item or enter it manually + quantity
  • Stock visible at once in the warehouse overview
  • A list of all goods receipt notes is also available in the desktop application
Bin locations at receiving

An item gets its shelf the moment it is stored

At receiving, the warehouse worker enters the location they are placing each item on. From that first second the stock is tied to a bin location, so picking, inventory and route optimization work without any extra editing. For items with expiry dates, lot numbers and validity dates are also captured at receiving.

The basis for FIFO / FEFO write-off and lot traceability
1 Scan: EAN 5901234567890
2 Location: A-03-2 · Lot L-2406-118
3 Quantity: 144 pcs · Confirmed
1 Returned parcels scanned · 12 pcs
2 Goods receipt order for returned items
3 Placement back in the warehouse or removal
Returns and write-offs

Returns and removals are receiving too

When the warehouse confirms returns of undelivered parcels, a goods receipt order for the returned items is created automatically: you place the goods back across the warehouse or set them aside for destruction. For damaged and removed goods you create a delivery note on the scanner, which takes the items out of stock.

Stock increases on a return and decreases on a write-off, automatically
Service billing

Every goods receipt is logged for billing too

Digital goods receipt is logged as a billing event, per piece or per receipt, according to each client's price list. At the end of the month the receiving service is on the bill automatically, with no manual counting of deliveries. In the Data section you can also track how many pallets of each company currently occupy your space.

Digital stocktaking

Stocktaking without stopping the warehouse

You run stocktakes straight from the scanner: partial ones by individual racks, shelves or brands, or full ones for the entire warehouse. The packing line keeps running in the meantime. After the warehouse manager approves them, quantity corrections are posted automatically, and the reconciled stock is synchronized in real time with the clients' webshops too.

Partial or full stocktake, without closing the warehouse
How it works

Receiving an announced delivery in four steps

1. The client creates a goods receipt order

The fulfillment client prepares a goods receipt order in their profile, with the items and quantities that will be delivered to your warehouse. At any moment you can see which deliveries have been announced.

Guide: FulfillmentApp Warehouse

2. The order appears on the scanner

On the mobile scanner, in the Goods receipt order section, the warehouse worker selects the relevant order. When the goods arrive, they receive the items by scanning or by manually confirming the received quantity.

Guide: Warehouse operations

3. Enter the bin location and confirm

For each item the warehouse worker enters the location they are placing it on, and confirms. With a click on Create goods receipt, the receiving is complete.

4. Stock immediately visible to everyone

The received stock appears in the warehouse overview at the same moment, and the client sees it in their profile. The items are immediately available for reservations and for picking new orders.

Frequently asked questions

Everything about goods receipt

Use a direct goods receipt note: on the scanner the warehouse worker selects the company the goods are being received for, and the supplier, then scans the items or enters them manually with quantities and saves. The stock is visible at once in the warehouse overview.
With a bulk import via an Excel template: items, quantities, warehouse and a Bin location column, optionally also lots, validity dates and serial numbers. You run the import directly in Fulfillment App under Imports → Items. If the quantity is not yet known, only the product is created, and you complete the stock with a repeat import.
On the scanner you select Delivery notes and scan the items you are taking out of stock, for example damaged or removed goods. An overview of all delivery notes is visible in the Fulfillment application, and the stock is reconciled automatically.
Yes. Because the system is shared, the client sees the received stock, the status by item and the available stock in their profile in real time. No more calls and emails asking "are the goods at your place yet?".
On the scanner the warehouse worker selects the stocktake scope, an individual rack, shelf or the whole warehouse, and scans the items by location. The system shows the differences to the warehouse manager, who approves the corrections, and these are posted automatically and synchronized with the clients' stock. Because the stocktake can run in parts, there is no need to close the warehouse.
