Distributors and wholesalers
High-volume case and pallet picking, done faster.
- Slotting that keeps fast movers near the dock
- Wave planning around truck departures
- Stock levels shared live with Backstock ERP
Stowage
Warehouse management with AI optimization: slotting, picking and labor planned by agents, run on handhelds, and checked against what actually shipped.
Who it’s for
Distributors, retailers and 3PLs running one or many warehouses who need enterprise warehouse capability without a multi-year rollout.
- Mobile scanning on handhelds
- Connects to Backstock ERP, Wharf and ShipTrack
The problem
Enterprise warehouse software shouldn’t take two years to switch on.
Large warehouse systems are powerful but slow and costly to implement, and lighter tools stop at stock counts. Stowage brings slotting, picking and labor optimization to one warehouse or many, with AI agents planning the work and handhelds running it.
How Stowage works
From invite to proofReceive
Check in advance ship notices and dock appointments, and scan what actually arrived.
Put away
Directed putaway sends each pallet or case to the best open location.
Slot
Agents place fast movers and items that sell together closest to the pick face.
Pick
Wave, batch, zone and cluster picking, with the shortest path for every picker.
Pack and ship
Right-size cartons, print labels, rate-shop carriers and hand tracking to ShipTrack.
Learn
Agents compare the plan with what shipped and suggest re-slots and staffing for tomorrow.
