Intelligent Putaway Solutions That Maximize Storage Efficiency and Speed
Transform your warehouse putaway process with directed strategies that minimize handling time, eliminate placement errors, and optimize every square foot of storage space.
Manual Putaway Costs You Time and Space
Warehouse teams without directed putaway waste valuable minutes deciding where to store incoming inventory. Workers rely on tribal knowledge or guesswork, leading to inconsistent placement decisions that compound throughout daily operations.
Poor putaway decisions create downstream chaos. Misplaced inventory means longer pick times, wasted storage capacity, and frustrated customers waiting for orders that should have shipped hours ago.
Consider a warehouse receiving 500 SKUs daily. Without systematic putaway guidance, workers might store fast-moving items in distant locations while premium space sits empty—multiplying labor costs with every pick cycle.
The Solution
Directed Putaway That Works Smarter, Not Harder
Logimax WMS analyzes product characteristics, storage constraints, and demand patterns to direct every putaway decision. Workers receive precise location assignments on their mobile devices, eliminating guesswork entirely.
Intelligent putaway means faster dock-to-stock times and maximum space utilization. Your team stores inventory in optimal locations the first time, every time—reducing touches and accelerating downstream operations.
Warehouses using directed putaway typically see 25-40% improvements in storage density and significant reductions in putaway labor hours. That translates directly to lower operating costs and faster order fulfillment.
Complete Putaway Capabilities
Every feature designed to accelerate your dock-to-stock process and maximize warehouse storage efficiency.
Directed Putaway
Eliminate placement guesswork with intelligent location assignments. The system analyzes product attributes, velocity, and storage rules to direct workers to optimal locations—reducing handling time and maximizing space utilization across your facility.
Dock to Stock Reporting
Track putaway performance from the moment goods arrive. Monitor dock-to-stock cycle times, identify bottlenecks, and measure team productivity with detailed reporting that drives continuous improvement in your receiving operations.
Serial Number and Lot Control
Maintain complete traceability during putaway for regulated industries. Capture serial numbers and lot codes at receiving, ensuring proper FIFO/FEFO rotation and supporting compliance requirements for pharmaceuticals, food, and electronics.
Multi-Zone Storage Optimization
Automatically route inventory to appropriate storage zones based on product requirements. Whether temperature-controlled, hazmat, or high-security areas, the system ensures compliant placement while optimizing space within each zone.
License Plate Tracking
Track pallets, cases, and containers as single units throughout putaway. License plate tracking simplifies handling, accelerates storage, and provides instant visibility into inventory location without scanning individual items.
Automated Location Assignment
Let the system determine optimal storage locations based on configurable rules. Automated assignment considers cube utilization, pick path optimization, and product affinity to place inventory where it drives maximum operational efficiency.
Receiving Integration
Create seamless handoffs between receiving and putaway operations. Tight integration ensures accurate inventory data flows immediately into putaway tasks, eliminating delays and maintaining data integrity from dock to stock.
Real-Time Capacity Management
Monitor storage availability across your warehouse in real time. Capacity management prevents overallocation, identifies available locations instantly, and helps planners make informed decisions about incoming inventory placement.
Putaway Performance Analytics
Measure what matters with comprehensive putaway analytics. Track individual and team productivity, identify training opportunities, and benchmark performance over time to continuously improve your dock-to-stock operations.
