Which warehouse has stock takes a phone call — support won’t promise a date they can’t keep.
Multi-warehouse Transfers
The east warehouse is bursting while the west one sits half empty — transfer too late and you lose the order; freight cost and delivery time both have to pencil out.
The three biggest headaches
Transfers run on spreadsheets — freight in transit goes dark and nobody knows where it is.
Emergency transfers fly by air, and the freight bill eats the entire margin.
A typical day
- 1
Morning: every warehouse’s stock levels and shortage alerts on one screen.
- 2
Midday: one click turns a shortage alert into a transfer order — source warehouse picked automatically.
- 3
Afternoon: in-transit transfers tracked like shipments — ETA visible to everyone, not just dispatch.
- 4
End of day: transfer costs vs. stockout losses side by side — the math finally argues for itself.
