FidaWare WMS is able to measure and control
The stock turnover is one of the most important key numbers used for warehouse control. It is used to monitor the capital related to the warehouse and its different articles and article groups.
With real time warehouse control, FidaWare WMS makes it possible to increase the inventory turnover, improving company profitability. The greater the inventory turnover, the less capital the company has invested in warehouse inventory.
FidaWare WMS comprehensively manages the basic data of a warehouse, such as product information, warehouse location data and manufacturing batch data. It controls and optimizes core business processes of a warehouse effectively and ensures error-free and traceable deliveries throughout the entire delivery chain.
FidaWare WMS provides easy-to-use tools for warehouse material, work and data flow management, such as the graphical warehouse layout management tool.
FidaWare WMS manages and controls comprehensively
- Reception routines and reception area

Receiving of goods made easy
Products can be received by a warehouse from production, another warehouse or a product supplier in a flexible way. Delivery can be received according to purchase orders and preliminary notification of arrival can be utilized during the receiving process.
FidaWare WMS controls validation and quality check of products and required procedures during the receiving process. If necessary, received products are labelled and the system optimizes their storage location within the warehouse. FidaWare WMS can update inventory data in real time for your ERP system.
Effective put-away of products
FidaWare WMS controls put-away so that product put-away can be performed directly after receiving without the need for temporary storage. Optimized put-away helps to avoid unnecessary transfers, which creates efficiencies and enables significant savings.
Put-away function includes e.g. the following properties:
- Placing products on shelves or in other areas of the warehouse can be done according to set criteria such as weight, volume, height or other product property
- Put-away can also be based on demand, i.e. ABC classification
- Warehouse location can be floating or fixed as well as active or reserve locations
Dispatch Area Management and Loading
FidaWare WMS maintains and manages the dispatch area with its graphic tools.
Functionality of dispatch area management
- The dispatch area product and information flow is managed in real time
- The software creates loading orders and the required transport documents
- The software manages dispatch area tasks such as quality check
FidaWare WMS also controls loading functions so that the pallet first loaded in the vehicle is unloaded last.
Flexible Warehouse Inventory
FidaWare WMS allows continuous warehouse inventory so it can be run anytime and the warehouse does not need to close when inventory is taken. Thanks to the continuous inventory function, loss on sale can be avoided and customer service will improve.
Cross Docking function
FidaWare WMS supports the Cross Docking function model in which:
- product supplier will make pre-packed and labelled delivery batches according to each customer order, but will transport in a single batch to the customer's warehouse (or directly to dispatch).
- the received batch will be transferred immediately from the receiving dock to dispatch without temporary storage and will be sorted into customer-specific delivery batches
- when all the batches received from the product supplier have been sorted, customer-specific delivery batches are ready (delivery batches can be added to these from the warehouse as normal order picking)
- customer-specific delivery batches transported to the customers'
Cross-Docking increases the delivery batch size. This is more cost-effective when compared to direct deliveries since combining delivery batches decreases loads more than it causes additional costs in handling fees and two separate deliveries.
