Business Applications

Scan it, move it, and let your ERP know straight away.

Handheld and tablet applications for receiving, put-away, picking and stock movements, designed around how your warehouse works and connected to your ERP.

The problem

Paper and fixed terminals slow the warehouse down.

Pick lists are printed, receipts are written up later and stock is keyed in at a desk. Every handover is a chance for figures to drift.

We build warehouse applications that let your team capture each movement at the point it happens, using scanners, tablets or mobile devices, with screens designed for the job in hand rather than for the back office.

01 / What the application can do

Warehouse processes shaped around your operation.

Goods receiving

Bulk receipt and delivery-note scanning, with improved purchase receipt processes.

Put-away

Guided or random put-away of pallet and bin stock, with locations recorded as you go.

Picking

Pick lists on screen, scan-to-confirm and label printing at the point of pick.

Stock movements

Transfers, adjustments and stock checks captured where they happen.

Labelling

Automatic pallet and item labels with barcodes or QR codes.

Connected or offline

Live updates where coverage allows, with offline working and synchronisation where it doesn't.

02 / How it's built

Bespoke to your process, built on proven foundations.

Each warehouse application is designed for your process using our OneApp framework. It isn't an off-the-shelf app: we reuse proven warehouse patterns and components, then shape the screens and rules around how your team works.

  • Barcode, QR and RFID scanning, using specialist scanners or customer-preferred compatible devices.
  • Tablet, handheld or vehicle-mounted devices, chosen per solution.
  • Connected to your ERP through OneGateway, which handles security, combined data and queued posting.
  • Can work alongside warehouse systems and 3PL partners through warehouse and 3PL integration.

Example: forklift-mounted tablets

For Time Products, we developed an automated warehouse application using tablets cradled on forklift trucks to support the random put-away of pallet-based stock, including automatic pallet labelling and an improved purchase receipt process.

03 / Testimonial

In our client's words.

Warehouse Tracking

Web Control developed an automated Warehouse Application using retro fitted iPads cradled to forklift trucks to facilitate the random put-away of pallet-based stock. This included an auto pallet labelling feature with an improved purchase receipt process.

We also had developed a tablet-based application for sales order creation whilst sales representatives are out on the road. This application enables the download of customer orders via mobile data direct to their back-office ERP system. This has provided us with our own in-house document management software, enabling key business forms to be developed then printed or emailed as required.

This software is used to support our business forms. More recently we've worked closely with Web Control on our transactional website project, providing back-end integration allowing web based B2C orders to seamlessly process through our back-office systems.
