With OrderStream, you can easily optimize inventory levels to meet demand, save space, and prevent out-of-code product loss.

  • Build precise demand plans using modern algorithms.

  • Order what you actually need, not what you think you should have on the shelf.

  • Leave the endless emails, spreadsheets, and phone calls behind.

Integrate with your suppliers’ purchasing systems

When your suppliers are also using OrderStream, you both can add and update information that the other can see immediately. You can view your suppliers’ ordering constraints to help you place orders, they can see your purchase orders and order updates, and you can see their fulfillment progress. With this seamless two-way exchange, you can build a more accurate purchase order the first time.

Next-level warehouse OPS

Location-based inventory

LBI is a system of organizing your warehouse by location and code date, which gives you total visibility into your entire inventory. This visibility allows you to:

  • Prevent product from getting close to code.

  • Count inventory more strategically with cycle counting.

  • Direct product to where it should be put away.

  • Know exactly when to replenish a pick location, and from where.

  • Generate warehouse tasks, track progress, and identify every person who has interacted with a given product.

VIP’s tools and expertise can make switching to LBI or optimizing your LBI practices easy to understand and painless to implement.

The art of truck diagramming

With all of the different factors involved, creating a truck loading plan can be a complex routine requiring years of experience to master. WebTL makes this process accessible to anyone in your warehouse office.

Easy-to-use interface

With the click of a button, you can diagram pallets and trucks based on parameters you’ve set. WebTL’s visual interface allows you to understand how each load is set up and easily revise as needed. Drag and drop, customize colors, and set up custom views.

Integrated with picking and loading apps

Once you’ve diagrammed a load, you can send it to be picked using EasyPick, then use EasyOps to load the picked pallets according to WebTL’s load diagram.

Option to palletize before routing

With VIP’s tools, you can even palletize individual orders before you’ve routed all orders for the day. That way, you can start picking earlier and optimize your workforce’s time and resources.
