Being comfortably within a morning’s drive of our Olney office, Cheltenham is somewhere we get to regularly.

Discovery, training and go-live are all better done in the room, and at 61 miles that is entirely practical.

A warehouse management system is not a stock list with extra fields. It is a set of instructions: where to put this, what to pick next, in what order, into which container, onto which pallet, for which vehicle. CubeERP directs the work rather than recording it afterwards. Put-away is suggested from bin rules and velocity; picking is sequenced by route to cut walking; packing verifies by scan so the wrong item cannot leave; and the carrier label, tracking number and customer notification all come from the same despatch. Because it is the same system as sales, purchasing and production, there is no interface to maintain and no nightly file to blame.

What it does

Inside warehouse management software

The parts of CubeERP that make up warehouse management. Everything here shares one database, so nothing needs re-keying between them.

  • Directed put-away and picking

    Bin rules, item velocity, size and weight determine where stock goes and the order it is picked in, so the shortest sensible route is the default rather than a matter of experience.

  • Wave, batch and zone picking

    Pick by order, by wave, in batches across multiple orders, or by zone with consolidation - whichever suits the profile of that day’s work.

  • Verified packing

    Scan-verified packing with carton contents recorded, so a mis-pick is caught at the bench rather than discovered by the customer a week later.

  • Carrier integration

    Rates, labels, manifests and tracking for the main UK and international carriers, with tracking numbers pushed back to the order and emailed to the customer automatically.

  • Licence plates and pallets

    Pallet and container identifiers so a whole unit can move, ship or be counted in one scan, with contents known at every stage.

  • Warehouse performance

    Lines per hour, pick accuracy, dock-to-stock time and open work by zone - measured continuously so a problem is a trend rather than a bad week somebody noticed.

In practice

Problems this actually solves

Anonymised, but not invented. These are the situations businesses describe to us before they change anything.

  • Picking by memory

    The situation

    A distributor’s pick accuracy depended on two long-serving staff who knew where everything was. New starters took months to become productive, and holidays were visibly painful.

    What changed

    Directed picking on scanners made location knowledge unnecessary. New pickers reach full productivity in days, and accuracy no longer varies with who is on shift.

  • A warehouse laid out in 2009

    The situation

    Fast-moving lines were spread across the building because that was where space existed when they were introduced. Pickers were walking miles a day for no reason anybody had chosen.

    What changed

    Movement analysis drove a re-slot by velocity, and put-away rules now keep it that way. Walking distance dropped substantially without moving a single rack.

  • Three courier portals

    The situation

    Despatch keyed addresses into three separate carrier websites, printed labels, then emailed tracking numbers manually. Two people were effectively employed retyping addresses.

    What changed

    Carrier selection, labelling and manifesting happen from the despatch record. Tracking reaches the customer automatically, and the retyping job disappeared.

Getting to you

Roughly61miles from our Olney office

Discovery, training and go-live are done on site as standard - not because it looks good on a proposal, but because most of what a system needs to know is learned in the building.

How it happens

What implementation actually involves

The same process wherever you are, and for Cheltenham it is done in person.

  1. 1

    Discovery

    A structured session mapping how you work now - the systems, the spreadsheets and the bits held together by one person’s memory. We come back with what the platform covers as standard, what needs configuration, and what needs building.

  2. 2

    Configuration

    Your sites, warehouses, price lists, approval limits, document templates, workflows and permissions set up to match the business - not a demo tenant with your logo dropped on it.

  3. 3

    Data migration

    Customers, suppliers, parts, bills of materials, price lists, open orders and stock balances brought across and reconciled. We migrate, you check the numbers against the old system, and only then do we cut over.

  4. 4

    Training & rollout

    Role-based training so the order desk learns the order desk and the warehouse learns the warehouse, with a pilot group first where it makes sense. Documentation and short screen recordings left behind for new starters.

  5. 5

    Ongoing support

    UK support from the people who built the platform, with a named contact, agreed response times, and a product roadmap you can influence.

Questions

The things people ask first

Not on the list?01234 672 617hello@cubeerp.co.uk

  • If you have fewer than a few thousand picks a week and a small building, stock control with scanning is usually enough. Directed workflows earn their keep when the building is large, the team changes often, or accuracy is contractually important.

  • Yes. Existing location labels can be imported, and where they are inconsistent we would rather relabel during implementation than build permanent workarounds around a numbering scheme nobody understands.

  • The main UK parcel and pallet networks, plus international integrators. Where a carrier has an API we integrate directly; where they do not, we produce their manifest format. New carriers are a configuration exercise, not a project.

  • Third-party and customer-owned stock are held and reported separately from your own. Bonded and duty-suspended stock is supported where the customs regime requires it to be tracked distinctly.

  • Container receipts can be booked against the purchase order with landed costs - freight, duty and clearance - apportioned across the lines, so item cost reflects what the goods really cost to get here.
