The situation
Intake, inventory, and handoff had outgrown clipboards. The floor still has to show bins, a donation lot, and the one exception that cannot wait until morning.
Who uses it
People working with donation intake, inventory, and handoff on the warehouse floor and at the dock.
What I built
- The warehouse floor as a screen: bins, a donation lot, and exceptions that stay visible.
- Phone screens for the dock. Scan a lot, put a cold chain on hold, and keep product from moving until its missing photo is added.
The workflow
See the lot, the bin, and the hold in one view
Bins, a donation lot, and the exceptions around them share one warehouse screen. The next person can see where the work stands without hunting for the right clipboard.
Carry the exception down to the dock
On phone screens, people scan a lot, put a cold-chain hold on it, or block product until a missing photo is added. Whoever takes the next step has to see the hold, even on the next shift.
What this example covers
Software built for one client's physical donations, covering intake, inventory, and dock handoffs. It isn't a ready-made warehouse product. Another organization's connectivity, integrations, and reporting would get their own estimate.
What this one cost
About $50,000 to build, then $2,000 / mo after.
These figures describe this project. A different workflow or feature set needs its own build price and care agreement.
What care covered
Hosting, updates, support, and new features, month to month, as the warehouse changes.
Where it landed
A hold at the dock is on the screen instead of on a clipboard that left with third shift.
Why this page has no name on it
I keep the nonprofit unnamed because the warehouse is still theirs to talk about, not mine to advertise.
