Real-Time Warehouse Automation Supporting 800+ Pallets Daily
Sage X3 warehouse automation, mobile handhelds, barcode execution, real-time inventory control.
An operation running at scale without the systems to match it.
The organization ran multiple production lines and warehouse facilities with continuous inventory movement throughout the day — a volume and complexity that had outgrown its manual processes. The core problem was a fundamental disconnect between what was happening on the production floor and what the system knew about it.
Inventory records were always behind. Finished goods entered the warehouse before any transaction was recorded. Raw material consumption was entered manually, often hours after the fact. Receiving happened on paper. Pallet movements were tracked by memory and clipboard, not by system.
As production volumes increased, these delays compounded. Management couldn't trust inventory reports. Finance reconciled on lag. Warehouse teams spent time resolving discrepancies instead of moving product. The operational model had reached a ceiling — one that couldn't be raised without fundamentally changing how inventory was executed and recorded.
What the organization needed was not a reporting fix or a process tweak — it needed a warehouse execution layer that put real-time transactions in the hands of the people doing the work, at the moment they were doing it.
A warehouse execution platform built end-to-end in Sage X3.
PRH Consulting designed and deployed a comprehensive warehouse automation solution within Sage X3, integrating every stage of inventory movement — production output, raw material consumption, receiving, picking, and internal transfers — into a single real-time execution framework driven by barcode scanning and mobile handhelds.
Real-time finished goods palletization
Automated pallet label generation at production, barcode-enabled pallet tracking, and immediate inventory visibility as pallets are built.
Production-to-warehouse transfers
Real-time finished goods transfers with instant inventory availability updates, eliminating delayed transaction entry.
Raw material replenishment
Real-time warehouse-to-production transfers executed on mobile handhelds, with immediate inventory consumption recording.
Mobile warehouse picking
Directed picking with location-controlled inventory management and barcode validation at every step.
Real-time receiving
Barcode-enabled receiving processes deliver immediate stock availability and tighter inventory control.
End-to-end traceability
Lot, pallet, and location tracking with complete transaction history across production, warehousing, and distribution.
What changed — by stakeholder.
The transformation wasn't just a technology change — it was a shift in how different groups inside the organization make decisions every day.
Gained immediate visibility into finished goods availability and raw material levels. Production-to-warehouse communication that previously relied on phone calls and paper now happened automatically through the system.
Eliminated paper-based processes and duplicate data entry across receiving, picking, and transfers. Work instructions came through the handheld. Transactions were recorded at the point of execution, not hours later at a desk.
Gained confidence in inventory reporting and operational KPIs for the first time. Inventory positions reflected reality. Month-end reconciliation no longer required manual investigation into where the system and the warehouse had diverged.
"The platform now supports continued growth while maintaining the operational control and inventory accuracy the business requires at scale."
Built on Sage X3.
The entire solution was designed and deployed within Sage X3 — no third-party middleware, no external warehouse management system. The warehouse execution layer is native to the ERP, meaning inventory data is consistent, real-time, and directly tied to the financial and operational record.
