PULPO WMS organizes a warehouse by creating the following zones:

  • Incoming goods blocked: For incoming goods that are not accepted, e.g. due to defects, and should not be treated as available stock.

  • Storage: Regular storage places.

  • Packing: Location where products are packed into shipping boxes after picking.

  • Shipping: Packed orders waiting to be picked up by the shipping company.
