Slide 1 of 10

Complete fulfilment and dispatch architecture

02
Request scope review The screen shows all requested items, images, quantities, lines, destination, dates, project and service requirements.
Step 1 · Review the request

See Every Requested Item before Approving Warehouse Work

The review screen keeps the item list and operating details visible instead of relying on a task summary.

  • Item images, quantities and lines
  • Client reference and project
  • Destination and contacts
  • Dates, services and special handling
What this screen demonstrates The reviewer can approve, request clarification, hold or reject with a visible next action.
03
Scheduling and reservation The screen confirms pickup or delivery slots, transport ownership, available units, reservation conflicts and approval.
Step 2 · Schedule and reserve

Commit the Correct Units to the Approved Request

Reservation should prevent conflicting commitments while preserving the current location and condition.

  • Pickup or delivery slot
  • Setup and teardown windows
  • Available and unavailable units
  • Reservation user and timestamp
What this screen demonstrates Conflicts remain visible before the picklist is released.
04
Picklist, reservation and locate The picklist shows collapsible item rows, current location, requested quantity, picked quantity, remaining quantity and locate action.
Step 3 · Prepare the picklist

Give the Picker a Clear Item and Location View

The screen remains usable for requests containing a few items or hundreds of lines.

  • Collapsible item rows
  • Image and requested quantity
  • Current location and Locate action
  • Picked, remaining and shortage counts
What this screen demonstrates The full item list stays accessible from the task without opening a separate hidden record.
05
Picking scan and shortage The screen verifies custody, catalogue or SKU references and records missing, misplaced, unavailable or substituted units.
Step 4 · Pick and verify

Confirm the Physical Unit and Resolve Every Shortage

Phone, scanner and manual entry support fast picking with immediate next-scan readiness.

  • Phone, scanner or manual verification
  • Immediate successful-pick feedback
  • Missing or misplaced item
  • Substitute, reduced quantity or exception
What this screen demonstrates Shortages remain tied to the requested line and require the applicable approval.
06
Packing and quality check The screen links items to packages and records condition, accessories, protection, package type, weight and dimensions.
Step 5 · Pack and check

Connect Verified Items to the Correct Packages

Packing confirms what is inside each package and whether the items are fit to leave custody.

  • Item-to-package relationship
  • Condition and component QC
  • Protection and handling notes
  • Package count, weight and dimensions
What this screen demonstrates Pre-packed or supervisor overrides remain visible in the activity history.
07
Documents and label check The screen generates applicable documents and blocks dispatch until required labels and evidence are complete.
Step 6 · Complete documents

Prepare the Commercial and Transport Record before Dispatch

Only the documents required by the approved movement should be generated.

  • Challan and packing slip
  • Invoice where applicable
  • eWay number and evidence
  • Transport and destination labels
What this screen demonstrates The label-and-document gate controls movement into Ready for Dispatch.
08
Ready for dispatch and loading The screen confirms packages, documents, vehicle, driver, loaded-material photographs and dispatch approval.
Step 7 · Load and release

Record the Final Warehouse Handover

The request moves out of the facility only after the required proof and approvals are present.

  • Vehicle and driver details
  • Vehicle and loading photographs
  • Package count and seal state
  • Dispatch user and departure time
What this screen demonstrates The stage exposes the exact action required to move into Out for Delivery.
09
Transit and delivery confirmation The screen shows transit state, delay or exception, recipient, delivery time, proof and partial or failed delivery handling.
Step 8 · Confirm movement and receipt

Keep the Request Visible after It Leaves the Warehouse

Transit and delivery evidence complete the handover chain.

  • Transit state and exception
  • Recipient and delivery time
  • Delivery proof
  • Partial or failed delivery route
What this screen demonstrates The request should not be marked delivered without the required result and evidence.
10
Post-delivery routing The screen routes final movement to completion, temporary-use inventory to Return Pending and disputed delivery to exception.
Step 9 · Set the next action

Move Delivered Inventory to the Correct Operational Route

The post-delivery state follows the commercial and custody model rather than one universal completion rule.

  • Completed final movement
  • Return Pending
  • Damage, refusal or delivery exception
  • Next owner and next Vault action
What this screen demonstrates Returns, condition checks and restoration continue in the separate Returns, Care and Restoration workflow.

Fulfilment and Dispatch FAQs

Common Questions Before Outbound Preparation Begins

The final scope depends on fulfilment ownership, inventory availability, dates, destination, package requirements, documents, transport and return obligations.

Request a Fulfilment Assessment

Can fulfilment ownership be set at client level?

Yes. Vault-Managed, Vendor-Managed or Hybrid can be selected at client level, with approved per-item overrides where responsibility differs.

Will users see the complete requested-item list?

Yes. The request and task views should show the item images, requested quantities, lines, locations and progress instead of only displaying a summary count.

How are units reserved?

The approved available units are reserved against the request so conflicting work cannot use the same inventory without an exception decision.

Can pick rows be collapsed on mobile?

Yes. Collapsible rows keep large picklists usable while allowing the picker to open the full item context when needed.

Can picking use phone, scanner and manual entry?

Yes. The verification method can support phone camera, handheld scanner, scan gun and manual code entry.

What happens when an item cannot be found?

The picker records a shortage reason and routes the item for search, substitute approval, reduced quantity, rescheduling or exception.

Which documents can be prepared?

Depending on the movement, the workflow can support challan, packing slip, invoice, eWay details and transport or destination labels.

What proof is captured before dispatch?

The workflow can capture vehicle and driver details, vehicle photographs, loaded-material images, package counts, seal state and handover information.

What happens after delivery?

The request moves to completion, Return Pending or exception according to the approved movement and custody model.

Are returns included on this page?

No. Return receipt, condition QC, cleaning, repair, restoration and put-away are covered under Returns, Care and Restoration.
