GraniteWMS
A Simple, Scalable, and Efficient Warehouse Management System

E-commerce has significantly grown in the past few years and continues to drift to a sustained global growth trend. Buoyed by this acceleration, the warehouse industry is marching toward a better future, leaving behind its archaic model focused only on processing bulk orders for retailers. With the proliferation of B2C e-commerce orders that often come in small batches, warehouses must be agile and efficient to align with this modern-day need while keeping operational costs down.

Established to equip warehouses with these capabilities is GraniteWMS, a leader in mid-market business warehousing software.

GraniteWMS specializes in providing full traceability of items in warehouses while optimizing their processes and performance with its end-to-end barcode-based warehouse management system (WMS). Known for its unmatched flexibility, the WMS can respond to all current and future needs of small and mid-market business warehouses. It enables clients to standardize, scale, and facilitate warehouse processes, allowing them to enhance their growth with fewer employees and without any additional cost. This is ideal, as clients can seamlessly handle the rising tide of B2C orders while adequately emphasizing distribution and retail channels.

“We always strive to provide long-term value to customers with our highly flexible solution,” states Craig Collins, CEO of GraniteWMS.

“We don’t charge a large implementation fee upfront; we focus on relatively small monthly investments and look to retain customers by giving them the ability to scale our solution as they grow.”

GraniteWMS’s expertise also lies in its ability to enable full traceability of warehouse items, enhancing operational efficiency. It leverages Universal Product Code (UPC) to track items, from physical pallets to a single product, providing more visibility into their operations and offering granularity of transactions. Each warehouse transaction—dispatching, receiving, or in-house movement—is recorded at a granular level to provide detailed reports on user activity. The system generates these reports over a day, week, or month, enabling clients to track the performance and workload of employees in storerooms.

With these end-to-end traceability and reporting capabilities, GraniteWMS is a go-to partner for its broad clientele’s complex warehousing needs. For instance, it recently collaborated with three New York-based companies struggling to adopt a “first expire, first out” policy due to their manual warehouse management processes. They wanted to ensure food items about to expire were not shipped to customers. With GraniteWMS’s solution that manages stock aging and expiry dates of products with batch and lot tracking, these companies could control the products going out of their inventory and provide fresh items to customers.

This instance is a powerful testament to GraniteWMS’s dominance in the industry and beyond, highlighting its ability to successfully deploy a solution based on client needs. It builds process steps represented in the WMS barcode scanner for operators as instructions when implementing warehouse processes for clients. It structures and designs the software like a workflow system—specific to each warehouse process—allowing clients to detect any mishap or complexity. GraniteWMS’s entire system is web-based and can be hosted as a hybrid solution in the private cloud and on-premise. This helps warehouses with low internet connectivity experience seamless storeroom operations.

GraniteWMS documents the processes and customizations, allowing any support team member to understand customer-specific technicalities and readily respond to their needs. In essence, with its simple and easy-to-implement WMS solution, it helps warehouses significantly improve their order-picking and fulfillment operations. Moving ahead, GraniteWMS is aspiring to expand and establish a full-time presence on the East and West coasts of the U.S. and in Canada.
