Inbound Logistics
The processes involved in the receipt and storage of goods are critical aspects of warehouse management, dictating the efficiency and accuracy of operations downstream. Hopstack is engineered to streamline these initial stages of your warehouse workflow.
This section is designed to guide you through the crucial stages of receiving, putaway, and administrative actions within the inbound logistics component of our WMS software. Here are the key areas that we will delve into:
Receiving: This is the first point of contact between the goods and your warehouse. We will guide you through the steps to accurately register incoming shipments into the system, including handling scenarios like partial deliveries and damaged goods.
Putaway: After the goods have been received and registered, the next step is to move them to their appropriate storage locations within the warehouse. This section will provide best practices and guides to optimize the putaway process, ensuring goods are easy to locate and retrieve when needed.
Administrative Actions: Lastly, we will cover various administrative actions related to the inbound process. This will include procedures to mark under-received orders as closed, edit orders, delete orders, audit trails, and other features.
