The Problems Costing Your Warehouse Money Every Week

Your stock counts never match the books. Pickers grab the wrong batch, and expired product ships to customers before anyone notices. When a supplier delivers, receiving takes an hour because nobody knows where to put it. And when the auditor arrives, you spend two days pulling together compliance evidence that should be one click.

Meanwhile, stockouts on fast-moving lines cost you sales, while slow-movers pile up and tie up cash. In pharma and FMCG, expired stock losses alone can run into the hundreds of thousands per year — because most cheap WMS tools don't do FEFO properly, if at all.

Stockouts & Overstock

Poor visibility across locations means you order too much of what you have and run out of what you need.

Expired Stock Losses

Without proper FEFO picking, stock expires on shelves. Pharma and food distributors lose hundreds of thousands annually.

Pick Errors & Shipment Mistakes

Wrong batch, wrong quantity, wrong customer. Manual processes guarantee errors that damage trust and drive returns.

Manual Stock Counts

Physical counts that take days, never reconcile with the system, and still leave you guessing what you actually have.

Key Features

A comprehensive warehouse management system and asset management platform covering every operational need.

Inventory Control & Stock Tracking

Real-time stock level monitoring across multiple warehouses and locations. Track quantities on hand, in transit, reserved, and available. Zone and bin-level location management. Consumable management with reorder alerts and automated purchase order generation.

Purchase Orders, GRN & Shipping

Full purchase order lifecycle from creation to goods receipt note (GRN). Inbound receiving with PO matching, quality inspection gates, and automatic putaway suggestions. Outbound pick-pack-ship workflows with dispatch documentation and carrier integration.

Batch & Expiry Management (FEFO)

Full batch and lot traceability from receipt to dispatch. FEFO (First Expiry, First Out) picking ensures stock closest to expiry is used first, reducing waste and meeting food safety and pharmaceutical compliance requirements.

Asset Lifecycle Management

Track assets from procurement through deployment, maintenance, and disposal. Register asset details, assign locations, monitor condition, schedule servicing, and manage end-of-life processes in a single system.

Depreciation Tracking

Automated depreciation calculations supporting straight-line, reducing balance, and units-of-production methods. Generate depreciation schedules, book values, and reports aligned with IFRS and South African tax requirements.

Work Orders & Maintenance

Create and manage work orders for corrective and preventive maintenance. Schedule recurring maintenance tasks, assign technicians, track labour and parts costs, and maintain complete maintenance history for every asset.

Compliance & Audit Trails

Comprehensive audit trails for every inventory movement and asset change. Support regulatory compliance for SAHPRA, food safety, and industry-specific requirements. Role-based access controls and approval workflows.

Multi-Tenant & Deployment Options

Schema-level multi-tenant isolation with dedicated data per tenant. Deploy as cloud SaaS or on-premise (Ubuntu Linux / Windows Server) for operations with unreliable internet. Works fully offline. Scales from single-site to multi-warehouse operations.

Reporting & Analytics

Dashboards and reports for stock ageing, turnover rates, dead stock identification, asset utilisation, maintenance costs, and depreciation summaries. Export data for integration with accounting and ERP platforms.

Wet Stock Management

Purpose-built for fuel stations and liquid inventory. Daily tank dips, pump meter readings, delivery receipts, and automatic variance calculation. ATG (automatic tank gauge) integration for real-time tank levels, temperature compensation, and water detection.

Weighbridge & Bulk Material Intake

Integrate your weighbridge for automated weight capture. Record gross, tare, and nett weights linked to supplier records, material types, and pricing. Essential for scrap yards, recyclers, mining, and agricultural operations.

OCR & Barcode Scanning

Scan supplier documents, delivery notes, and IDs using phone cameras with built-in OCR text extraction. Barcode and QR code scanning for goods receipt, stock counts, and picking accuracy. Faster intake, fewer manual errors.

Regulatory Compliance

Built-in audit trails, batch traceability, and controlled access meet the requirements of food safety regulations, pharmaceutical standards (SAHPRA), and financial reporting (IFRS).

4

Lower Operational Costs

Optimised warehouse layouts, efficient picking routes, preventive maintenance scheduling, and accurate depreciation tracking reduce carrying costs and extend asset lifespans.

A Complete Fuel Station Operating System Hiding Inside Your Warehouse Module

Most WMS tools manage boxes on shelves. SynchPlus-ONE also manages liquids in tanks. Daily tank dips, pump meter readings, delivery receipt reconciliation, ATG (automatic tank gauge) integration, and temperature-compensated variance analysis — purpose-built for fuel stations, chemical distributors, and any business managing wet stock.

Fuel stations currently buy wet stock management from Wayne, Gilbarco, or PetroSoft for serious money — and it's a standalone system disconnected from everything else. In SynchPlus-ONE, your wet stock data lives alongside your dry inventory, fleet, cash, and gate access. One platform. One reconciliation.

Auto-calculate purchase values based on current rates. No separate weighbridge software, no manual ticket reconciliation — everything flows into the same system your inventory and finance team already uses.

SAP Business One and Sage X3 are full ERP suites where WMS is often an add-on module with significant implementation costs. SynchPlus-ONE is a focused warehouse management system with native FEFO picking, batch traceability, and multi-location support — at a fraction of the cost and implementation timeline. It integrates with your existing ERP via RESTful APIs, so you get purpose-built WMS without replacing your accounting system.
Odoo and Zoho offer basic inventory modules as part of their broader suites. However, their FEFO picking capabilities are limited or require custom development. SynchPlus-ONE is FEFO-native from day one — critical for pharma, food, and FMCG operations. We're also built for the South African market with local support, Rand-based reporting, and compliance features for SAHPRA and local food safety regulations. And because SynchPlus-ONE includes fleet, asset, and gate access modules, you can expand into adjacent operations without adding another vendor.
