Replenishment
Daily and wave-driven replenishment as executable move chains.
Replenishment answers one question before the shift starts: which pick faces will run dry, and what exactly do we move to prevent it? Awarehouse answers it as an executable plan — every move with a from-slot, a to-slot, metres of travel and estimated minutes.
Every move
carries exact distance and estimated minutes
2 modes
daily top-up and wave-driven staging
Two triggers drive the plan. Daily replenishment tops up pick faces whose stock has fallen below coverage targets, prioritised by urgency — empty faces first, then part-pallet faces, then routine top-ups. Wave replenishment reads upcoming order demand from Wave Planning and stages exactly what the next waves will consume, before the pickers arrive at the face.
The difference from a report is execution. Each replenishment line becomes a chain of physical moves — sourced from the nearest bulk location holding the SKU, sequenced to avoid conflicts, with full-pallet and loose-carton logic — and each move carries its travel distance and time estimate. Shortfalls are flagged honestly: if bulk stock cannot cover demand, the plan says so instead of pretending.
How it works
Replenishment, in three moves.
01
Detect need
Coverage maths and wave demand identify every face that needs stock — and how many cases, full pallets or loose cartons.
02
Plan moves
Each need becomes a chain of moves from the best bulk source, sequenced and timed on real travel geometry.
03
Assign & run
Moves are balanced across the crew with per-operator sequences. The plan prints, assigns and tracks.
Capabilities
- Daily min/max replenishment against days-of-cover targets
- Wave-driven replenishment fed directly from planned order demand
- Priority bands: empty faces, below-half faces, routine top-ups
- Nearest-source selection from bulk reserves with capacity awareness
- Full-pallet plus loose-carton move quantity logic
- Explicit shortfall flags: short, no bulk stock, loose-only
