Platform

ScanMan's WMS platform manages the full warehouse lifecycle:

Goods Receiving

Barcode scan on intake, product identification, source tracking, receipt dating

Put-away & Storage

Customisable put-away strategies, bin location management, zone mapping

Pick & Dispatch

Picking list generation, wave picking, delivery verification, dispatch confirmation

Traceability

Full item history — source, receipt date, shelf life, location changes, batch tracking

Skills roadmap

ScanMan is building AI skills on top of their WMS data. As an early access partner, these skills are in development.

Inventory Accuracy Intelligence

Starter

AI analysis of stock count variance, cycle count scheduling, discrepancy pattern detection. Identifies systematic errors by zone, shift, or product category.

biz/inventory-accuracy Building now

Shelf Life & Obsolescence Manager

Starter

Monitors expiry dates across all inventory. Predicts which stock will expire before sale, recommends markdown timing, flags FIFO violations, and generates waste reduction reports.

biz/shelf-life Building now

Pick Path Optimiser

Designer

Analyses picking patterns and warehouse layout to optimise pick routes. Reduces travel time per order, suggests bin relocation for high-velocity SKUs, and balances workload across pickers.

Receiving Anomaly Detection

Designer

Spots discrepancies at goods-in: quantity mismatches vs PO, unexpected SKUs, damaged barcode rates, supplier reliability scoring based on receiving history.
