Six failure modes your
warehouse cannot afford.

Concrete situations where informal control breaks down. Each one has a precise WILS answer.

Two operators edit the same row at the same time.
Spreadsheet cells have no lock. Last-write wins. The losing operator's count disappears with no trace of either version.
Click to see solution
Atomic transactions — one operator, one record
Every mutation is a ledger write attributed to a single employee. No concurrent edits. Every change is permanent and auditable.
Tx #98241 · E-07 · Transfer · 14:22:08
Yesterday's stock count and today's pick list disagree.
Pick lists are generated from a snapshot. By the time a picker reaches the shelf, the count has already changed.
Click to see solution
Live ledger — no snapshots, no drift
Stock is always derived from the live transaction ledger. Automated stock integrity checks surface any divergence the moment it appears.
C1 PASS · C2 PASS · C3 PASS · 09:41:03
Expiry dates live in someone's notebook.
Lot numbers and best-before dates tracked on paper or in a personal spreadsheet column nobody else can see.
Click to see solution
Batch-level FEFO — always visible, always enforced
Every batch carries its lot number and expiry date. Pick lists are FEFO-ordered automatically. Expiring stock surfaces on the dashboard.
B-2417 · exp 12d · FEFO priority
Receiving paperwork ≠ what the warehouse actually saw.
ASN says 48 units. Floor says 40. The discrepancy lives in an email thread for three weeks while stock figures are wrong.
Click to see solution
Electronic dock-side receiving — line by line
Verify each delivery line at the dock before the stock posts. Variances are flagged immediately. The ledger only records what was physically confirmed.
DN-1043 · Dock 2 · 40/48 received · ⚠ variance
Stock is in the building — but no one knows exactly where.
Items were received and put away, but their precise location exists only in an operator's memory. Finding them means searching the floor.
Click to see solution
Coordinate-based location — every batch has an address
Every batch is assigned an aisle, shelf, and slot at put-away. WILS knows where everything is — not by memory, but by record.
Aisle B · Shelf 03 · Slot 08 · last moved 09:41
Something goes wrong — and no one can trace who did it.
A quantity adjustment is made. Stock disappears from a location. There's no record of who acted, when, or why.
Click to see solution
Per-operator attribution on every transaction
Every stock movement records the responsible employee, the action taken, and the timestamp. Role-based access limits what each operator can do.

Six warehouse control surfaces.
One WILS workflow.

From dock to carrier handover, every operational surface is a first-class WILS module — wired into the same coordinate system, the same batch register, and the same ledger.

Receiving & ASN SURFACE 01 / 06
Structured goods-in, dock-side.
Delivery notes and ASN context drive every receive. Barcode verification, line-by-line confirmation, and discrepancy capture before stock posts to the ledger.
DN-1043 · Dock 2 · 14 lines pending
Inventory Control SURFACE 02 / 06
Item, batch, pallet, location.
Full visibility across warehouse coordinates. Every unit has an address; every address has a live count; every count is derived from the ledger, never estimated.
Aisle B · Shelf 03 · Slot 08
FEFO & Expiry SURFACE 03 / 06
First-expiry-first-out, enforced.
Batch-level expiry tracking with automatic FEFO picking logic. Expiring stock surfaces on the dashboard before it costs you a write-off.
Batch B-2417 · expires in 12 days · FEFO recommended
Pick & Pack SURFACE 04 / 06
Guided outbound, end to end.
From picklist to pack station to dispatch readiness. Operators scan to confirm; every confirmed pick writes a ledger entry; urgent lines surface first.
Picklist PL-082 · 12 urgent lines
Carrier Dispatch SURFACE 05 / 06
Handover the ledger believes.
Carrier handover, label workflow, and shipment visibility stay linked to the outbound transaction. Configured adapters are available for DPD, An Post, and DHL Express.
DPD · label generated · dispatch recorded
Audit & Integrity SURFACE 06 / 06
Every movement, every operator.
Each transaction is linked to operator, time, location, batch, and ledger event. Automated stock integrity checks surface drift the moment it appears.

See the workflow, not a mock-up.

These screens show the current WILS demo baseline across receiving, stock location, and transaction traceability.

Captured in a non-production demo tenant. Available fields and actions depend on role, warehouse configuration, and enabled modules.

WILS receiving workflow showing task stages, line progress, and operator ownership
Receiving workflow Stage, progress, due status, and ownership remain visible while warehouse teams work through inbound tasks.
WILS read-only location contents view with item, batch, quantity, load, and last movement
Exact stock location A read-only location view connects each item and batch to its quantity, load, and latest recorded movement.
WILS transaction ledger showing movement type, quantity, locations, operator, warehouse, and batch
Transaction traceability The ledger records movement type, quantity, source and destination, operator, warehouse, and batch context.

From dock to carrier.
Controlled end to end.

01
RECEIVE
Goods are logged against the delivery note at the dock. Batch numbers and expiry dates are captured before anything moves.
Dock 2 · DN-1043 · 14 lines
02
VERIFY
Quantities are cross-checked against the ASN line by line. Any discrepancy halts posting until a supervisor signs off.
Line 3 · exp 48 · rcvd 46 · short
03
PUT AWAY
Each batch is assigned a warehouse coordinate. FEFO ordering is enforced from the moment of first placement.
B-2417 → B · Shelf 03 · Slot 08

PICK
FEFO-ordered pick lists are generated per order. Operators scan to confirm — every confirmed pick writes a ledger entry.
Order #4821 · B-2417 · FEFO · Qty 24

DISPATCH
Carrier handover is recorded inside WILS. The outbound transaction retains operator, location, and timestamp evidence.
Tx #98231 · E-02 · DOCK-1 · 14:22:08

A stock ledger you can reconcile.

Core quantity changes, location transfers, and dispatch events create ledger records. Integrity checks compare derived stock with the authoritative transaction history and surface discrepancies.

Append-only transaction ledger
Stock levels are derived from the ledger — never mutated directly. Every discrepancy is detectable.
Operator attribution on every action
Every receive, move, pick, and adjustment records the responsible employee. No anonymous mutations.
Warehouse boundary enforcement
Operators cannot act outside their assigned warehouse. Cross-warehouse movements require explicit authorisation.

Common questions

Do I need to install anything?

No desktop installation is required. WILS runs in a supported modern browser on desktop, tablet, or phone, and operators do not need local scanner drivers for manual or camera-assisted workflows.

Does it work without barcode scanners?

Yes. WILS supports camera-assisted barcode scanning on supported devices and warehouse workflows, alongside manual keyboard entry and dedicated HID barcode scanners. Camera results depend on browser support, permissions, lighting, and barcode quality.

Which carriers are supported?

Configured adapters are available for DPD Ireland, An Post, and DHL Express, with OwnFleet and manual dispatch options for operations using their own vehicles. Availability depends on the carrier account, credentials, and onboarding verification.

Does WILS replace my EPOS?

No. WILS works alongside your existing till and payment system. Your EPOS handles sales and payments; WILS connects through API or CSV to receive sales orders, check stock availability, and manage stock accuracy, locations, batches, transfers, picking, dispatch, and warehouse control.

How long does setup take?

Standard pilots follow a guided setup checklist, a CSV import wizard for items and locations, and in-app tours for operators. Timing depends on catalogue quality, warehouse complexity, integrations, and the amount of data being prepared.

Is my data safe?

Deployment and hosting arrangements are agreed during onboarding. Core stock mutations create ledger records, while role and warehouse scope control what each operator can see and do.

Can I run multiple warehouses?

Yes. The Professional plan supports up to 3 warehouses with full boundary enforcement — operators are scoped to their assigned warehouse. Enterprise capacity is agreed for multi-site operations.

What does the customer portal show?

Customer users can access order and stock views according to their enabled portal capabilities. Shipment, tracking, returns, and delivery-document visibility depend on the configured role and workflow.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan starts with a 30-day guided pilot at no charge. No credit card is required. You can import your real data and run a live pilot on your actual warehouse before committing to a subscription.
