Growcord WMS

A warehouse where the system matches the shelf

Design zones and bins in minutes, pick the right batch by expiry, pack against a measured weight and count aisles on a phone — while every move between sellable, quarantine, damaged and expired is a ledger entry.

Before and after

What changes with WMS

Without Growcord
  • Bins that are ‘full’ only when someone looks
  • Pickers choosing whichever batch is closest
  • Damaged and expired stock still showing as available
  • Annual stock-takes that stop the warehouse
With Growcord
  • Capacity by units, volume and weight on every bin
  • The pick list names the bin and the batch; the wrong scan is refused
  • Quarantine, damaged and expired held apart from sellable
  • ABC cycle counts scheduled week by week
Features

Everything inside Growcord WMS

Bins with real capacity, FEFO picking by batch, a packing bench, returns dock and cycle counts.

01

Layouts in minutes

Generate coded locations for a whole rack at once, edit any bin, and extend a rack by running it again.

02

Real bin capacity

Limits in units, volume and weight — measured from confirmed pack sizes, never from default dimensions.

03

FEFO picking by batch

The pick list names the bin and the batch; a scan of the wrong batch is refused.

04

Pick waves

Waves by order or by zone, planned from orders ready to ship — allocating stock, never moving it.

05

Pack and dispatch bench

Scan items into the box, seal with a measured weight, record short packs and hand over to Ship.

06

Returns dock

Receive returns, grade them and send each unit back to sellable, quarantine or scrap.

07

Transfers

Move stock between warehouses with in-transit custody, so it is never counted in two places.

08

Cycle counts

ABC schedules — A weekly, B monthly, C quarterly — with variances posted only after approval.

09

Expiry holds

Batches near expiry are moved to hold automatically when you switch the rule on.

10

Labels on any printer

Bin and product labels as PDF, ZPL for thermal printers, or straight from the browser.

Stock states

Available means you can actually sell it

Stock sits in one of several states — sellable, quarantine, damaged, expired, in transit. Only sellable stock counts as available, and every move between states is recorded with who, when and why.

  • Inbound goods can wait in quarantine until inspected
  • Damaged and expired never leak into availability
  • Every state change on an append-only register

The floor

Today’s work arrives by itself

The floor home on a phone shows what to put away, pick, pack and count today. Four automations — pick waves, cycle counts, expiry holds and reorder drafts — run on schedule when switched on, each with a visible log.

  • Mobile-first — any Android phone with a camera
  • Every automation off by default
  • No automation ever writes stock on its own

Built on principles

What we will never do

The rules this product is built on — so you can trust the numbers it gives you.

Ledger, not overwrites

Every stock change is an entry with a reason — adjustments are where mistakes and fraud hide.

No invented sizes

Capacity uses only pack sizes someone confirmed. Unmeasured products say so.

Automation proposes

Waves allocate, counts wait for a person, reorders are drafts. Nothing moves stock by itself.

Every job leaves a log

Each automated run records what it did so you can check it.

FAQ

WMS: your questions

Still unsure? Our team replies within one business day.

Does Growcord WMS need scanner hardware?

No. It runs in the browser on any Android phone and uses the camera to scan. Dedicated scanners and label printers also work.

What is FEFO picking?

First-expiry-first-out: the pick list tells the picker which bin and which batch to take, always the oldest valid batch, and refuses a scan of a different batch.

How is bin capacity calculated?

Bins can have limits in units, volume and weight. Volume and weight use only product pack sizes that have been confirmed — products without confirmed sizes are flagged instead of guessed.

Do the automations change stock on their own?

No. Pick waves allocate stock, cycle counts wait for a person to post them, expiry holds move stock to a hold state you can see, and reorders create drafts. All are off by default.

Can I track damaged and expired stock separately?

Yes. Stock is held in states — sellable, quarantine, damaged, expired — and only sellable stock counts as available to sell.

Can I move stock between warehouses?

Yes. Transfers keep stock in transit until it is received, so it is never counted as available in two warehouses.
