OPERATIONS · WAREHOUSE

A WMS that knows your warehouse, in three dimensions.

Bins mapped in three dimensions. Pick paths optimized by traversal frequency. Pack-out modeled by package fit. Cycle counts that hold up to audit. Mobile scan flows tuned for warehouse lighting and gloves. The depth most operators give up on building.

WHAT IT IS

The shape of warehouse in CCEN.

Warehouse is the WMS that runs on the same stock and movement records every other CCEN app reads. It adds the operational layer your floor team lives in: bin management, pick-path optimization, scan-pack flows, cycle counts, pack-out fit, and mobile-first interfaces tuned for the floor.

BIN-LEVEL ACCURACY

Every bin's actual size, in real units.

Most WMS products model bins as strings. CCEN models them as boxes in space. Every bin's actual size, in real units, plus its vertical position and distance from the pack-out station. That metadata flows into pick-path optimization, pack-out fit, and storage-density planning.

Cold storage zones, mezzanine levels, oversize aisles, and hazmat lockers are first-class. The bin map is editable on the floor. Promote a forward-pick location, retire a damaged bin, split a deep bin into two, all without breaking the movement ledger.

Capacity is a number, not a hope. CCEN warns when a put-away will overflow the destination bin's volume. The system knows what fits, because the system knows the box and the bin.

PICK PATHS, OPTIMIZED

Walk the warehouse the short way.

Pick paths recompute nightly from observed traversal frequency. Hot SKUs migrate forward. Cold SKUs migrate back. Paired SKUs cluster. The optimizer respects vertical reach, equipment requirements, and forward-pick location capacity.

Wave planning batches orders by carrier, ship-by date, package type, and traversal overlap. A picker carries a tote per order, follows the path the optimizer drew, scans each item to verify, and arrives at pack-out with the right SKUs in the right order. No hunting. No backtracking.

When the layout changes, the optimizer re-runs. The next wave reflects reality. Pickers do not have to memorize a stale map. The mobile UI shows the path on the bin grid, with the next pick highlighted and the rest queued.

SCAN, PACK, COUNT

Floor flows that survive interruptions.

Scan-pack is a state machine. Scan the order. Scan each item. The pack-out engine picks the smallest box that fits and prints the label. Mis-picks fail loud. Substitutions require a supervisor scan. Every movement lands in the ledger with actor and timestamp.

Cycle counts run blind by default. The floor team sees the bin, not the expected count. Variances generate a recount task. Recount tasks roll up to a variance report. The auditor stops asking awkward questions.

Mobile UIs are designed for warehouse lighting and gloves. Big buttons. High contrast. Resumable flows. If the scanner battery dies mid-pick, the next scanner picks up where you left off. The state lives on the server, not the device.

WHY FLOOR LEADS PICK CCEN

Three things you can demo to a picker, in five minutes.

A bin map you can walk

Bins are boxes in space, not strings. The optimizer knows the geometry, the equipment, and the picker's reach. The path is real, not a list.

Pick paths that re-run nightly

Traversal frequency drives the layout. Hot SKUs migrate forward. The next wave reflects reality, not a six-month-old layout document.

Scan-pack that survives interruptions

If a scanner dies mid-pick, the next scanner picks up where you left off. State lives on the server. The floor never loses progress.

FLOOR OPERATIONS

WMS depth, on the same data.

3D bin map

Width, depth, height, vertical position. Cold zones, mezzanines, oversize, hazmat, all modeled distinctly.

Optimized pick paths

Recomputed nightly from traversal frequency. Hot SKUs migrate forward. Layouts stay current.

Scan-to-verify pack

Mis-picks fail loud. Substitutions require supervisor scan. Pack-out picks the smallest fitting box.

Pack-out fit

Three-dimensional fit model selects the right box. Stop overpaying for dim weight on otherwise small orders.

Cycle counts, blind

Floor team sees the bin, not the expected count. Variances generate recounts. Auditor-ready.

Receiving and put-away

Receive against PO, suggest put-away by velocity, scan into bin. Capacity warnings on overflow.

Returns receiving

Inspect, photograph, route to restock or write-off bin. Inventory updates on scan, not on close-of-day.

Kitting and light assembly

Build kits to order or to stock. Component movements log against the parent SKU. BOM-aware.

Picker performance

Per-picker pick rate, error rate, hours. Coach with data, not vibes.

FLOOR LEAD VIEW

What the floor lead sees every morning.

The Warehouse app's floor lead view is a single tab strip across waves, pickers, packers, and the receiving dock. Hover the bin grid to see live pick state. Click a wave to drill into per-picker progress. The screenshot below shows the pre-shift load at a 14,000 sq ft facility on a Monday at 7:42 AM.

ON THE FLOOR

Scanners, printers, and the carriers your dock manifest needs.

The Warehouse app supports the scanners and printers most operators already own, plus the carrier APIs the dock manifest writes to.

Our pick rate went from 38 to 71 lines per hour after we moved to CCEN's WMS. Same team. Same warehouse. The optimizer rebuilt our forward-pick zones in two days and the rest was just walking the new path.
