vWMS

Real-time inventory. Every warehouse. One system.

Warehouse Management System (WMS) · Distribution

vWMS is a configurable Warehouse Management System (WMS) that gives distributors total control of stock — from the moment goods arrive until they ship — across an entire multi-warehouse network. Integrated with the procurement, order and finance systems you already run, it's the warehouse and inventory management module of the Velothrix composable enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite.

Why vWMS

Six reasons operations teams switch.

Stock on paper never matches stock on the floor — here's why teams run their warehouse on vWMS.

Your warehouse knows where everything is — do you?

The problem

Distribution without a real WMS is flying blind.

No WMS — spreadsheets & manual opsLeaking value

  • No real-time visibility — stock lives in spreadsheets and chat groups.
  • Stockout and overstock together — no network view across branches.
  • No inspection gate — damaged or short deliveries slip in; supplier disputes.
  • No batch or cost traceability — valuation and COGS are guesswork.
  • Picking errors and returns — wrong size or colour out the door.
  • Invisible shrinkage — no audit trail until the year-end stock take.
  • Festive surge breaks ops — peak season means missed SLAs.

Bad / legacy WMSWrong fit

  • !Can't model your catalog — no clean size × colour matrix.
  • !Forces duplicate data — two sources of truth that never agree.
  • !Islands of data — no real integration with your stack.
  • !Won't scale — fine for one site, fails across a network.
  • !Every change is a project — costly vendor customization.
  • !Weak mobile / barcode — operators fight the tool.
  • !Manual GST and e-way-bill data — errors, delays, compliance risk.

Stock you can't see ties up cash and loses sales.

Configurable, not bespoke

Your catalog and strategy — all settings, not code.

01

Catalog model

Matrix or flat — model your SKUs the way your business actually works.

02

Data capture

Barcode, RFID or manual — pick the method each warehouse can run today.

03

Putaway strategy

Fast-mover, zone or capacity-driven — configured per tenant and warehouse.

04

Picking strategy

FIFO or FEFO, batch and expiry on or off — change it without a vendor project.

The solution

One system, the entire stock lifecycle.

Receipt & inspection

Inspection before GRN; line-item accept/reject; phased deliveries; shortfall detection.

Real-time inventory

Stock by location, batch and cost across all warehouses; live available-to-promise.

Putaway & locations

Bin / aisle / rack master with capacity and strategy-driven putaway.

Stock movement

Internal, inter-warehouse and sales moves with correct docs and in-transit tracking.

Fulfilment & dispatch

Allocate (FIFO/FEFO), pick / wave, pack and dispatch with proof.

Returns

Inspect → restock or scrap → credit-note trigger to Finance.

Cycle counting

ABC / random / sweep — freezes only counted locations, never the warehouse.

Audit & traceability

Every batch movement logged — who, what, when. Shrinkage surfaces fast.

Reporting

Stock, fulfilment, turnover, rejection and return analytics by role.
