The day, as it is
- Loads are built by eye and trucks leave with space in them
- Dock slots are booked in a spreadsheet and clash at peak
- Warehouse and transport run on different systems that disagree
Agents, engines and your people
Every unit of work passes through the layer best suited to it. Colour shows who is doing the work.
- 01agent
Receive
ASNs and delivery notes are read and matched to purchase orders on arrival.
- 02engine
Plan
Outbound orders are packed in 3D and dock slots scheduled against bay capacity.
- 03human
Confirm
Supervisors see the pick, the load plan and the dock schedule before release.
- 04agent
Dispatch
Loads hand straight into transport, with documents and milestones created.
What it does
Inbound & putaway
Receipts matched to orders, with discrepancies flagged at the door.
Pick & pack
Pick lists grouped by route and vehicle, so the load builds in delivery order.
3D load plans
Cartons placed by the packing engine, with rotation and stacking rules.
Dock scheduling
Bay capacity treated as a hard constraint, not a hope.
Inventory visibility
Stock by location and status, shared with transport and billing.
One data model
Warehouse, transport and invoicing read the same order, so they cannot disagree.
The engines doing the maths
Classical optimisation, not guesswork. How it fits together
Constraint scheduling
OR-Tools CP-SAT · interval model
3D load packing
Pivot-based 3D packing · knapsack ILP
Demand forecasting
Gradient-boosted trees · seasonal decomposition
- Do we have to replace our current WMS?
- No. Fero can run alongside an existing WMS and add load planning and dock scheduling through integration, or run the warehouse end to end.
Bring us one lane. We will show you the difference on your own numbers.
A week of your orders, rates or invoices, run through Fero with your contracts and your carriers.
