Warehouse Item Location System
Know your stock. Organise the work around it.
Find goods, coordinate tasks and see where money is tied up in stock. WILS (Warehouse Item Location System) is a web-based warehouse management application for small retailers, wholesalers and distributors. See stock, team activity and financial views together. WILS is in beta, with a free 30-day guided pilot.
All plans include a 30-day guided pilot at no charge. No credit card is required to start.
We review your request and contact you to agree the next step. Pilot access is by invitation; submitting this form does not create an account or provision a workspace.

Stock, people and everyday decisions
See what needs your attention today.
For a shop with a stockroom or a warehouse team, WILS brings together the information you would otherwise have to piece together from lists, counts and conversations.
Do I have it, and where is it?
Find stock without relying on memory.
Look up an item, its recorded quantity and its shelf or location. Check batches and upcoming expiries, then follow the movement history when a count does not add up.
See stock value and estimated days of cover, then review guidance to reduce reorders, plan a promotion or check an urgent reorder. The report also estimates the cost value above a 90-day stock reference for selected overstocked items.
Coverage and buying guidance cover up to ten selected items. They use recorded outbound movements over 90 days, costs and expiry dates; review them against seasonality and your business needs. Values require complete quantities and costs; missing costs can understate stock value.
Who is doing what, and what is still waiting?
Give the team a clear view of the work.
Assign supported warehouse tasks and let operators pick up unassigned work. My Tasks brings together their receiving, picking and other enabled tasks, with progress and priorities.
Available tasks depend on the enabled modules and each person’s role. Start with one workflow and follow it from assignment to completion.
Are orders leaving as quickly as I expect?
Compare the time from order to dispatch.
View the average time between recorded orders and dispatch, and compare activity with a previous period. Movements by operator, time and warehouse area help you choose where to investigate a change.
Advanced analytics: Professional and Enterprise. Results depend on recorded events and timestamps; activity counts are not a complete measure of staff productivity.
Low in the picking area, but stock is available in reserve?
Turn a low-stock threshold into a replenishment task.
Set a minimum and target quantity for a picking location. When the rule is checked and reserve stock is available, WILS creates a transfer task that can be assigned and followed through completion.
For example: 4 units at the picking location, a minimum of 10 and goods in reserve → a replenishment task to assign.
Professional and Enterprise workflows. Rules and any scheduled checks need configuration; an operator carries out and confirms the move.
Are frequently picked items in the right area?
Review where your busiest items are stored.
WILS ranks items by recorded outbound frequency and compares their location with its zone model. Review suggested moves for frequently handled items stored in reserve areas.
For example: a frequently picked item in a reserve zone → a suggested location change to review.
Professional and Enterprise. Validate suggestions against your warehouse layout; the operator confirms the move. No measured travel-time saving is implied.
We confirm the reports, permissions and workflows suited to your business during the pilot. Start with a small set of items and one question you want WILS to answer.

Familiar stockroom problems
Less guesswork in everyday work.
A missing item, a count that does not add up or an unclear handover: see how WILS helps you investigate and organise the next step.
Several people update stock, but changes are hard to follow.
When counts and notes are scattered across files and messages, it takes time to reconstruct what changed.

A movement history your team can follow
Recorded stock changes identify the responsible operator, time and quantity. Review the history when you need to understand a difference.
Tx #98241 · E-07 · Transfer · 14:22:08
Yesterday's stock count and today's pick list disagree.
Pick lists are generated from a snapshot. By the time a picker reaches the shelf, the count has already changed.
Click to see solution
Check current records before preparing an order
Consult recorded stock and recent movements together. Integrity checks help identify differences that need investigation.

Expiry dates live in someone's notebook.
Lot numbers and best-before dates tracked on paper or in a personal spreadsheet column nobody else can see.
Click to see solution
Keep batch dates visible to the team
Review recorded batch numbers and expiry dates. Picking can prioritise the batches that expire first, and expiry views help you identify what needs attention.

Receiving paperwork ≠ what the warehouse actually saw.
You expected 48 units but received 40. If nobody records the difference, the next person may rely on the wrong quantity.
Click to see solution
Check each delivery before adding it to stock
Confirm received quantities and record differences before posting stock. Keep the receiving record linked to the goods that entered.

Stock is in the building — but no one knows exactly where.
Items were received and put away, but their precise location exists only in an operator's memory. Finding them means searching the floor.
Click to see solution
Give stock a recorded location
Record where each batch is put away. Another operator can look up its location and check the last recorded movement.

Something goes wrong — and no one can trace who did it.
A quantity adjustment is made. Stock disappears from a location. There's no record of who acted, when, or why.
Click to see solution
Per-operator attribution on every transaction
Every stock movement records the responsible employee, the action taken, and the timestamp. Role-based access limits what each operator can do.

Traceability
When a quantity looks wrong, follow what happened.
Review receipts, transfers, dispatches and adjustments with their operator and time. Stock checks help you spot differences to investigate, while permissions control who can do what.
One history of stock movements
Quantity changes and transfers create movement records. Use them to reconstruct a difference instead of starting from memory.
Know who recorded each movement
Receiving, transfers, picking and adjustments record the responsible operator and time.
All plans include a 30-day guided pilot at no charge. No credit card is required to start.
Onboarding
Test the warehouse work that matters to your team.
WILS is in beta. Start with one warehouse or stockroom and an agreed set of items: find an item, trace a receipt and follow picking through dispatch. Review the results together before deciding whether to continue.
Tell us about your warehouse and current tools. We review fit together; approved pilots receive a private invitation before setup.
2
Import your items and opening stock
Import your SKU catalogue by CSV or quick-create. The import wizard validates data integrity before committing.
3
Find an item and its location
Check where an item is held and which batch is available. Use a small, agreed set of items to evaluate the workflow.
4
Trace a receipt and prepare an order
Follow receiving, batch details, picking and dispatch in the agreed pilot scope. Confirm required integrations before using live data.
5
Review the results before expanding
Compare the agreed tasks with how your team works today. Review usability, traceability and setup effort before deciding the next step.
FAQ
Common questions
Why consider WILS instead of a larger system or another SaaS?
Consider WILS if you want to evaluate connected stock, locations and warehouse tasks through a limited guided pilot. You can assess usability, traceability and setup effort before expanding. WILS is in beta, not a complete ERP, accounting or till replacement; required integrations must be checked first. If your current software already covers these needs well, switching may not be worthwhile.
Do I need to install anything?
No desktop installation is required. WILS runs in a supported modern browser on desktop, tablet, or phone.
Does it work without barcode scanners?
Yes. WILS supports camera-assisted scanning on supported devices, manual keyboard entry, and dedicated HID barcode scanners. Camera results depend on browser support, permissions, lighting, and barcode quality.
Which carriers are supported?
Configured adapters are available for DPD Ireland, An Post, and DHL Express, with OwnFleet and manual dispatch options. Availability depends on carrier account, credentials, and onboarding verification.
Does WILS replace my EPOS?
No. WILS works alongside your till and payment system. EPOS handles sales and payments; WILS receives supported sales orders and manages warehouse stock, locations, batches, picking, and dispatch.
How long does setup take?
Standard pilots use a guided checklist, CSV import, and in-app tours. Timing depends on catalogue quality, warehouse complexity, integrations, and the data being prepared.
Is my data safe?
Deployment and hosting arrangements are agreed during onboarding. Core stock mutations create ledger records, while role and warehouse scope control what each operator can see and do.
Can I run multiple warehouses?
Yes. Professional supports up to 3 warehouses with boundary enforcement. Enterprise capacity is agreed for multi-site operations.
What does the customer portal show?
Customer users access order and stock views according to enabled capabilities. Shipment, tracking, returns, and delivery documents depend on the configured role and workflow.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan starts with a 30-day guided pilot at no charge and no credit card is required. You can use real data and workflows before choosing a subscription.
