Core system capabilities, each traceable to a warehouse-floor outcome.
Ten capabilities that make BEAM WHMS a warehouse execution system rather than an inventory ledger — and the measurable targets each one is designed to hit.
Barcode-driven mobile execution
The warehouse worker's mobile app is a first-class product — every flow is scan-driven.
No expensive RF hardware required — mobile-first by design.
Receive
Scan PO → scan item → enter qty → scan batch → QC → GRN. Quantity, batch and QC are captured before the receipt is committed.
Putaway
Scan LPN → system directs to bin A-03-04-02 → move → scan destination → confirm. The bin is named by the system, never chosen freely.
Pick
Task shows bin, SKU and qty → scan SKU → scan bin → confirm. Scanning both SKU and bin is what makes pick accuracy exceed 99.5%.
Enterprise inventory model
Stock tracked through the full physical hierarchy - the foundation of the entire system, not a bolt-on.
Bin
The smallest addressable location, written as A-03-04-02. Every directed putaway, scan and count resolves to a bin.
11 stock states
LPN / license plate tracking
One scan per pallet instead of one scan per item.
The license plate barcode printed on the pallet. This single identifier is what operators scan at putaway, pick and dispatch.
The physical contents of the pallet. Cartons sit between pallet and box in the packaging hierarchy, so the pallet can be moved without unpacking.
Mixed-SKU contents totalling 800 pieces. Because the LPN knows what is inside, picking can target a single SKU and still move the whole pallet.
Especially powerful for manufacturing, FMCG and 3PL operations — where the unit of movement is the pallet, not the piece.
Operators scan the license plate once at putaway, once at pick, and once at dispatch.
Intelligent picking that scales with your volume
The same platform runs a single-order operation today and a thousand-order wave tomorrow.
Packing station with weight verification
Weigh the box. A mismatch stops the shipment before it reaches the dock.
The pack station loads the order and its expected contents before a single item goes in the box.
Each item is scanned into the carton. This catches the wrong SKU being packed.
The carton is weighed and compared against the expected weight derived from the scanned contents.
A 1.3 kg shortfall means something is missing. Scan verification alone would not catch this: every item scanned was the right item. Weight verification is what closes the gap.
Shipping label generated and the carton sealed — only after the weight clears.
Shipment confirmed, carrier notified, e-Way Bill generated. Target: 30% reduction in wrong shipments.
Dramatically reduces wrong shipments — targeted 30% reduction.
Scan verification catches the wrong item. Weight verification catches the missing item — the failure mode that scans alone miss.
The station compares actual against expected weight and blocks dispatch on a mismatch, so the error is caught before the shipment leaves the dock.
Smart carrier selection
A shipping engine abstraction layer — not hardcoded carriers.
- PIN-code serviceability
- COD availability
- Weight and dimensions
- SLA and cost
- Carrier performance history
- Carriers can be added or swapped without re-implementation
- Rates and routing rules stay in configuration
- No carrier-specific code paths in the execution layer
India-first GST layer
An architecture component, not an add-on.
- GSTIN-aware warehouse and company structure, with multiple GSTINs
- HSN/SAC, GST tax breakup, bill-to / ship-to
- E-Invoice / IRN and e-Way Bill generation with vehicle updates in under 2 minutes
- Stock transfer between GST registrations, delivery challans, transporter / LR / AWB masters
Run many clients in one warehouse — Client A, B and C each with isolated inventory — plus usage-based billing:
- Storage per pallet/day or CBM
- Inbound and outbound handling fees
- Pick / pack / label / return fees
- VAS, labour and transportation
Full RM → WIP → FG flows with native MES integration:
- Material issue to production and material return
- WIP movement and FG receipt
- Batch creation, QC hold, rejection, scrap
- By-products and production reservations
Warehouse control tower
Not 100 generic reports — one control tower over the metrics that actually drive warehouse decisions.
Inventory accuracy · Pick accuracy · Order fill rate
Dock-to-stock time · Lines per hour
Space utilisation · Ageing · Dead stock
Expiry risk · SLA tracking
