OSORO

We hold your goods, and we can prove what we hold.

Third-party warehousing goes wrong in two places: the count on the way in, and the count on the way out. Everything between them is bookkeeping. So both ends are counted against something, by somebody holding a device, and the difference is recorded rather than discussed.

Receiving

What arrives is counted against what was expected. A short, an over, or damage is entered at the point it is found, by the person who found it, with a photograph. Nobody reconciles it from memory at the end of the day.

Put-away to a real position

Goods go to a numbered position on a numbered shelf in a numbered aisle, and the system suggests where, based on what that shelf already holds. "It's in the back somewhere" is not a location, and a warehouse that tolerates it is one stock-take away from an argument.

Storage, billed from the stock record

Storage is charged by what is actually on the floor each week — computed from the stock movements themselves, not from an estimate somebody typed in. You can see the weeks, the units behind each week, and the line that produced the charge.

A month's storage becomes one invoice with one line per week that ended in it. The month still running is never invoiced, because it has not happened yet.

Picking and distribution

Orders are picked from your goods. The floor works in waves rather than one order at a time, so a picker walks the aisle once for several orders instead of once each. The device tells them the position; they confirm what they actually took.

What you see

Your stock

What we hold, where, in what condition, and what has moved — on your own portal, yours only.

Your bill, with its workings

Storage by the week, handling, deliveries. Every line traces back to the movement that caused it.

Your orders

Sent as a spreadsheet, typed in, or arriving straight from your online shop. The interface is documented.

Recalls

If a batch has to come back, we can say which positions hold it and which orders it went out on.
