NorthCore WMS

The core of the 3PL floor.

Warehouse management for multi-client 3PLs. Goods in, stock by location, picking and despatch, with billing built in, all running on your own servers.

Why we’re building it

Running several clients from one warehouse often means spreadsheets, re-keying between systems and a scramble at month end to work out what to bill. NorthCore brings stock, orders and billing into one system that you own and run yourself.

The work so far

A look at NorthCore WMS

Design previews. NorthCore WMS is in development, so the screens may change. Names and figures are made up.

Design preview of the NorthCore WMS Today screen: deliveries due, orders shipped, open tasks, carrier cut-offs, exceptions and space used. — Design preview Today: a supervisor’s view of the shift, from deliveries due to carrier cut-offs and anything that needs action.

Design preview of a NorthCore WMS scanner screen: go to location A-04-03 and pick 6 cases. — Design preview On the scanner: where to go, what to pick, scan to confirm.

Version 1

What it does

Every client kept separate.

Each client’s stock, orders and users are walled off in the database itself, not just hidden on screen.
Goods in.

Expected deliveries, receiving against them, and putaway to locations.
Stock you can explain.

Every movement is recorded, so stock by client, product and location always adds up.
Pick, pack and despatch.

Orders in, picking on the scanner, and despatch out of the door.
Runs on standard scanners.

Floor screens work in the browser on Android scanners, with no app store needed.
Billing built in.

Storage, handling and picking priced from your rate cards, with ClearRate inside.

How it works

Yours, on your systems

Runs on your servers.

You install it on your own server or cloud account. We never host it and never see your data.
A licence, not a seat fee.

No per-user charges. If a licence lapses, your data stays readable: you’re never locked out of it.
Made by people who’ve done the job.

Built around how warehouse work actually gets done, by people who’ve run the floor.
