Warehouse automation for businesses of any size

No robots and no expensive new system. We connect what you already have into one flow – accounting software, e-shop, point of sale and carriers – and add what is missing: scanning, stock monitoring, batches and shipping.

Does this sound like your warehouse?

Warehouse automation usually does not mean conveyors, but data. So that the stock levels match and the warehouse does not depend on one person.

  • “The system says 40 pieces, the shelf has 12. Where is the rest?”

  • “We do stocktaking once a year and don’t trust the stock levels for the rest of the year.”

  • “We retype the supplier’s delivery note into the accounting system line by line.”

  • “We found out we were running out of packaging only when production stopped.”

  • “We search the whole warehouse for goods because they have no fixed location.”

  • “The e-shop, the store and the accounting show three different numbers.”

Flow

How goods flow through the warehouse – and where we watch them

At every station we automate the routine. Decisions that cost money stay with people.

  1. 01

    Receiving

    Stock receipt from an electronic delivery note or by scanning against the order.

    Person: Checks only the differences.

  2. 02

    Put-away

    Labels for locations, pallets and boxes. Every item has an address.

    Person: Does not have to remember where things are.

  3. 03

    Stock

    Minimum and expiry monitoring, one stock level for the e-shop, point of sale and accounting.

    Person: Approves the purchase order proposal with one click.

  4. 04

    Picking

    Picking by scanning; the nearest expiry goes out first.

    Person: Picks by phone, not by paper.

  5. 05

    Shipping

    Transport order, labels and shipping notice straight from the document, tracking number back to the document.

    Person: Hands the goods over to the carrier.

7 warehouse automation modules

You do not have to take everything. We start with what hurts you most.

01

Barcodes and labels

Barcodes in the warehouse: EANs from GS1 and your own internal codes, labels for locations, pallets and boxes, alternative supplier codes.

02

Mobile receiving and picking

Scanning with a phone or terminal straight into your accounting software. Receiving and picking against the order, transfers between warehouses.

03

Paperless stocktaking

Cycle counts and annual stocktaking with a scanner. Differences above the limit go for approval, not straight to write-off.

More
04

Stock monitor and supplier orders

Minimum and maximum, purchase order proposal based on sales, sent to the supplier after approval.

05

Batches and expiry

Batch and expiry date recorded at receiving, first-expired-first-out picking (FEFO) and a monitor for what will expire soon.

More
06

Shipping and carriers

B2B delivery notes, pallets, pickups and shipping notices. Parcel and pallet carriers via Balíkobot or their APIs.

07

Warehouse integration

Accounting software, e-shop, point of sale and any WMS show the same stock level. The data stays in your software; movements are written, not overwritten stock levels.

Commonly used software

What do you run on?

Accounting software can do more for the warehouse than is usually used. Here is what is possible.

  • POHODA

    XML import of goods receipts, issue slips, transfers, orders and stocktaking lists. Stock receipt from ISDOC.

  • Money S3

    Stock cards and documents via the API, minimum and maximum stock, batches with expiry and picking of the nearest expiry.

  • ABRA Flexi

    REST API for stock cards and movements, webhooks on changes.

  • ABRA Gen

    Web API, the vendor’s mobile warehouse app, batches, serial numbers and minimums.

  • Shoptet

    API for warehouses and stock movements, a webhook when minimum stock is reached.

  • Dotykačka

    API for warehouses and suppliers, electronic delivery notes that the customer confirms and receives into stock.

  • Carriers

    Balíkobot for parcel and pallet carriers (e.g. DHL Freight). Pallet transport also via the carrier’s direct API (e.g. Geis G-Service).

Do you have none of these and run the warehouse in Excel? That is a starting point too. At the audit we tell you whether it is enough to start in your accounting software.

When you do not need us

We do not sell WMS or ERP. We recommend an off-the-shelf solution when it is enough.

You have a few hundred items and one warehouse worker
The warehouse module in your accounting software plus discipline is usually enough. We show you what to turn on.
You already have the features in your license
Money S3 and ABRA Gen both handle batches, minimums and stocktaking, and POHODA accepts stocktaking lists. First we turn on what you already pay for.
You deal with picking routes and dozens of movements per hour
Then an off-the-shelf WMS makes sense. We help you choose and connect it to the rest of the company.
You do not want to handle packing and shipping yourself
Our Packaging & logistics division in Kuřim does packing, kitting, labeling and deliveries to retail chains for you.

We know warehouses from our own hall

We handle material receiving, pallets, batches, EAN labels and deliveries to retail chains in our own packing facility in Kuřim, and we build the systems for it ourselves.

Our own operations · PackLabs

PackLabsApp

The operations app of our packing facility in Kuřim: shifts, training signed on a phone, hygiene checks with limits, QR labels and the order plan. In Czech and Ukrainian.

Automation references Reference · Dreamy.cz

DreamyApp

An internal web application for an e-shop and furniture and mattress stores: logistics, CRM, sales, complaints, warehouse and store operations in one place, connected to ABRA and the e-shop. It replaces the Excel transport plan, the off-the-shelf CRM and more than ten types of store spreadsheets. An AI assistant can also work with the data.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need a new warehouse management system (WMS) for this?
Usually not. You often already have warehouse features in your accounting software: Money S3 and ABRA Gen have batches, minimums and stocktaking, and POHODA accepts goods receipts, issue slips and stocktaking lists via XML. We recommend a WMS only when you deal with locations, picking routes and dozens of movements per hour – and then we help you choose.
Will it work with POHODA running on our own server?
Yes. POHODA accepts goods receipts, issue slips, transfers, orders and stocktaking lists via XML. We connect it without opening a port to the internet.
Do we have to buy expensive terminals?
Not necessarily. A phone is often enough to start. An industrial terminal makes sense for all-day scanning – we will see that in the pilot.
Do we need EAN codes from GS1?
For selling to retail chains and marketplaces, usually yes; EANs (GTINs) are assigned by GS1 Czech Republic. For internal locations, boxes and pallets, your own codes are enough.
Can you handle batches and expiry dates for food?
Yes, on top of the features of your accounting software. Recording batch and expiry at receiving, FEFO picking and expiry monitoring are covered by the Batches and expiry module. One-step-back and one-step-forward tracing and batch recalls are covered by the Batch traceability module in quality control.
What does stocktaking with you look like?
We prepare a scanning flow, the data is imported as a stocktaking list, and differences above the limit go for approval. We describe it in detail in the Warehouse stocktaking module.
Can ordering from suppliers be fully automated?
Technically yes. But we recommend one-click approval by a person, especially for suppliers with a minimum order quantity.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
It depends on the systems and scope. We do not publish a price list, because no two companies are the same. You get the price and timeline after the audit, in advance and in writing.
Can you also do our packing and shipping?
Yes. Packing, kitting, labeling and deliveries to retail chains are handled by our Packaging & logistics division in Kuřim.
