Warehouse and Production Management
Warehouse management, ERP and production automation, delivered for multiple clients who move, make and ship physical goods.
Business goals
Our clients include a third-party fulfillment provider, an industrial and warehouse equipment supplier, and a flour and baking mix producer. Each handles inventory in a different way, yet all of them need to know what they have, where it sits and what must move next. Disconnected records made stock counts unreliable and orders slow. They needed warehouse and production work tied to an ERP, with manual steps replaced wherever that made sense.
Project overview
Hexagon delivered warehouse management, ERP and automation for multiple clients. Goods are recorded on receipt, assigned to locations, and picked against orders with scanning that checks the work. On the production side, batches and finished goods are tracked through to inventory. The ERP gives purchasing, sales and finance staff a shared view of stock and orders, and automation removes repeated data entry between warehouse, production and the office.
Challenges faced and solved
Every unit in a building is money, and it only earns anything once someone can find it and ship it.
Knowing what is actually on the shelf
When stock is updated after the fact, the system and the rack disagree. Sales promises goods that aren't there, and staff lose hours to recounts and searching the aisles.
We record stock movements by location as they happen, using scan-based receiving, putaway and picking, so inventory counts stay close to what is physically there.
Serving many order types from one floor
One operation can ship parcels to consumers, pallets to retailers and kits that need assembling first. Each order type has different rules, and paper pick lists can't enforce any of them.
We built separate order workflows for parcel, freight, retail and kitted orders, so the floor gets the right steps for the job.
Tracing what went into a batch
A food producer must know which ingredient lots went into which finished goods. If a quality question comes up, working backward through paper logs is slow and uncertain.
We tied incoming lots to production batches and finished goods, so staff can trace a product in either direction from its records.
Linking floor work to the back office
Warehouse staff and accountants often work from separate systems. Each receipt, shipment and adjustment gets keyed a second time, which delays billing and adds errors to purchasing decisions.
We connected warehouse and production transactions to the ERP, so stock, orders and billing information update automatically after the work is done.
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Warehouse floor staff | |
| 1. Scan-Based Receiving | Incoming goods are checked against the expected order, catching short shipments and wrong items at the door. |
| 2. Directed Putaway | Staff are told where to store received goods, and the location is recorded so anyone can find them later. |
| 3. Pick and Pack | Pickers work from a list organized for the order, and scanning confirms the right item went into the box. |
| 4. Kitting and Assembly | Kits and multi-item packs are built against a defined list of parts, with component stock reduced as they are made. |
| 5. Cycle Counts | Small, regular counts by location correct errors without shutting the operation down for a full physical inventory. |
| 6. Returns Processing | Returned goods are inspected, recorded and either restocked or set aside, closing a common gap in stock accuracy. |
| Production teams | |
| 7. Production Orders | Planned batches list what to make, how much and from which materials, replacing handwritten job sheets. |
| 8. Lot and Batch Tracking | Ingredient and material lots stay linked to the finished batch, which food businesses need when a question is raised. |
| 9. Finished Goods Posting | Completed output moves into inventory automatically, so sales can see it without waiting for paperwork. |
| 10. Material Consumption | Materials used in a run are deducted from stock, giving purchasing a truer picture of what is left. |
| Operations managers | |
| 11. Location and Stock Visibility | Managers see stock by item and location across the building, including what is reserved for open orders. |
| 12. Order Status Tracking | Each order shows where it stands from release through shipment, so customer questions can be answered directly. |
| 13. Workflow Automation | Routine steps such as order release and stock alerts run on rules, freeing supervisors from repeated manual checks. |
| 14. Reorder Alerts | Low stock triggers a notice to the right person before a shortage stops a pick or a production run. |
| Office and finance | |
| 15. ERP Purchasing | Purchase orders connect to receiving, so the office can match what was ordered to what actually arrived. |
| 16. Sales Order Management | Orders are entered once and flow to the warehouse, cutting the rekeying between sales staff and the floor. |
| 17. Inventory Valuation Reports | Stock on hand is reported for finance, reducing the end-of-period work of reconciling warehouse and books. |
| 18. Client or Channel Reporting | Inventory and order activity can be reported per customer or sales channel, as a fulfillment provider's clients expect. |
How the platform is put together
Each layer has one job.
The result
Our clients now run warehouse and production activity against live inventory records connected to their ERP. Repeated manual entry between the floor and the office has been reduced through automation.
| Area | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory accuracy | Stock updated after the work, often in batches | Movements recorded by location at the time of the work |
| Picking | Paper lists with no check on the item | Scan confirmation against the order |
| Production records | Handwritten batch sheets | Batches, lots and output recorded in the system |
| Office updates | Warehouse activity rekeyed by staff | Transactions passed to the ERP automatically |
How we took it from idea to launch
Good software follows a process. Here are the six stages, and what happens in each one.
Discovery & Requirements
Goal: Define the product vision, target audience and core business requirements.
Key activities- Stakeholder interviews
- Market and competitor research
- Defining user personas
- Drafting technical specifications or a Product Requirements Document (PRD)
Design (UX / UI)
Goal: Create an intuitive user experience and visual interface.
Key activities- UX design: information architecture, user flows and wireframes
- UI design: high-fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes in Figma or similar tools
- Design system: colors, typography and component libraries
Development: Frontend & Backend
Goal: Build the functional application using agile sprints.
Key activities- Backend: set up databases, design APIs (REST, GraphQL), implement server logic, and configure authentication and authorization (OAuth, RBAC)
- Frontend: build responsive interfaces and connect components to backend APIs
- Version control: manage code through Git and GitHub
Security & Optimization
Goal: Harden the application against vulnerabilities and boost performance.
Key activities- Security: address the OWASP Top 10, including injection, XSS and CSRF, enforce encryption in transit and at rest, and implement rate limiting
- Optimization: code splitting and lazy loading, database indexing, API caching and load testing
- QA and testing: unit, integration and end-to-end tests
Beta Release
Goal: Deploy to a controlled group of real users to catch edge-case bugs and gather feedback.
Key activities- Set up staging and production CI/CD pipelines
- Launch a closed or open beta with real users
- Monitor errors through observability tools
Public Release (Launch)
Goal: Roll the software out to the general public.
Key activities- Final production deployment
- DNS configuration
- Marketing and onboarding rollout
- Post-launch performance and security monitoring
Business benefits
Scanning catches the wrong item before the box is sealed.
Lot links shorten the search when a batch is questioned.
Floor transactions reach the ERP without retyping.
Buyers work from usage and stock that reflect the floor.
Conclusion
A fulfillment center, an equipment supplier and a food producer look nothing alike from the street. Inside, each depends on knowing what it holds, where it is and what happens to it next. Hexagon tied warehouse activity, production and the ERP together for these clients, then automated the steps people were repeating by hand. If your stock counts and your shelves keep disagreeing, or your office is rekeying what the floor already knows, tell us how your building runs and we'll talk options.
