Warehouse management features, connected.
Twenty connected capabilities that follow stock from the dock to dispatch. Each one keeps the owner, lot, location and status attached, so every team works from the same record.
Inventory and traceability
- Inventory managementTrack stock by warehouse, bin, owner, lot, license plate and status on an append-only ledger, so every balance matches its history.
- Lot and expiry trackingCapture lot and expiry at receiving, allocate first-expiry-first-out, block short-dated stock and trace any batch from dock to customer.
- Serial number trackingRecord a serial for every unit at receiving, require one scan per unit at picking, and ship each order with the exact serials that left.
- License plate trackingTrack pallets, cartons and totes by license plate number. Receive onto a plate, then move, put away, pick and ship the whole container as one unit in NextStock.
- Barcode scanningScan with keyboard-wedge scanners or a phone camera in the browser. GS1 parsing and scan-verified picks catch errors before they ship.
Inbound and purchasing
- Receiving and putawayReceive against ASNs and purchase orders, capture lot, serial and LPN at the dock, approve variances and direct every pallet to the right bin.
- Purchasing and replenishmentKeep stock covered: supplier catalogs, purchase orders with approval and split deliveries, ASNs, and replenishment suggestions for purchases and transfers.
- Multi-warehouse transfersMove stock between warehouses through an in-transit location, receive partial deliveries, and resolve loss or damage so stock is never counted twice.
Outbound and fulfillment
- Order pickingAllocate by FEFO and pick-face rules, pick in walk order, and verify every pick with a scan. Discrete and batch picking are available now.Available, with parts planned

- Label printingPrint location, pallet and shipping labels as ZPL straight to thermal printers through PrintNode or Zebra Browser Print, with reprint history.
- Kitting and bundlesSell virtual bundles that pick as their components, and build or break assembled kits with work orders that move stock through the ledger.
- B2B freight and loadsBuild loads, print delivery notes, bills of lading and SSCC pallet labels, dispatch by cut-off, and record proof of delivery per stop after dispatch.
Control and exceptions
- Cycle countingBlind, location-first cycle counts with a soft freeze, automatic recounts and variance approval, so you can count every day without stopping picking.
- Holds and recallsPut stock on hold by lot, SKU, location, LPN, supplier or ASN, and see where a recalled lot went: in stock, picked, packed, loaded or shipped, and to whom.
- Returns managementReceive returns against an RMA, grade every unit, and choose restock, quarantine, repair or scrap. Supplier returns record the credit you expect back.
