How it works
From order to delivery, without the noise
Afosto WMS runs through your entire fulfilment process, from the moment an order comes in to the moment the parcel leaves the door. Every part is configurable so it fits the way you work.
- Step 1
Order comes in, stock reserved
As soon as an order lands anywhere (webshop, marketplace or shop), the WMS reserves the stock straight away. The remaining available stock syncs in real time to all your connected sales channels. No overselling, no manual updating.
- Step 2
Pick lists grouped by location
Generate pick lists with presets and process them per order or in batches. Lines are grouped by location and item so you move through the warehouse efficiently, and you confirm every pick with a scan. You can collect per location, even across multiple orders at once.
- Step 3
Work with the latest handhelds
Our mobile warehouse app runs on Zebra scanners and other handhelds. Pick flows are fully configurable per customer: force scanning or make it optional, verify per item or all at once, enforce serial numbers or not.
- Step 4
Personalisation and assembly
Embroidery, engraving, gift wrapping or building products from separate components? The app walks staff through the process step by step, with all personalisation details right at hand.
- Step 5
Shipping and traceability
Every stock movement is logged, including which serial numbers or batches went to which customer. Essential for warranty, returns or recall scenarios.
Each of these steps adapts to your operation. We force nothing. You set the process.
Everything you need to run your warehouse professionally
One stock, all channels, in sync in real time
Reserve straight away on every order and sync the available stock to each connected sales channel. Your own webshop, marketplaces and physical shop: always consistent.
Pick the way you want
Optimised walking routes, batch and wave picking, and a pick-wall module to bring stock from multiple warehouses together into one parcel. Fully configurable per customer or per process.
Sell variants without stock chaos
With bundles you sell SKU A and we automatically deduct the underlying SKUs. Ideal for marketplace sellers and retailers who offer product combinations as a single set.
Tracking, traceability and recall
Enrich stock with batch numbers, serial numbers, IMEIs, weight, expiry dates or RFID tags. See exactly which unit went to which customer and run FEFO as a suggestion or enforced.
Purchasing, receiving and replenishment
Create receiving lists from supplier packing slips, cross-dock straight to open orders, and generate replenishment lists based on reorder points. Including EDI and API connections.
Multiple warehouses, one overview
A central warehouse, shops that also ship, or several fulfilment locations? The WMS decides per order where the stock comes from and consolidates where needed.
Production, services and personalisation
Embroidery, engraving, gift wrapping or assembly of separate components into one finished product, right inside the pick flow, with all the details at hand on the shop floor.
Returns with insight
Process returns with return reasons, approve or reject them, and decide per return whether the product goes back into stock. Returns data stays available for analysis at product or supplier level.
Backorders without the headache
Not everything in stock? Send partial deliveries, wait until the order is complete, or let the customer choose. We assign new stock automatically to the oldest open backorders.
Audit trail and alerts
Every stock movement, settings change and order cancellation is logged: who did what, and when. Set up notifications on the events that matter to you.
AI-driven reporting
Our MCP server lets you pull reports, optimisations and analyses out of your WMS data with AI. Ask questions in plain language and get answers about your operation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the questions we get asked most about Afosto WMS.
Can I connect my existing sales channels?
Yes. The WMS is built to sync stock in real time with all your sales channels: your own webshop, marketplaces such as bol.com and Amazon, and physical shops. We are API-first, so connections with external systems are flexible to set up.
Does the WMS work with multiple warehouses too?
Absolutely. You can connect unlimited locations: a central warehouse, shops that also ship, or several fulfilment locations. The WMS decides per order which location the stock comes from and can consolidate stock from multiple warehouses into a single shipment through our pick-wall module.
How flexible are the pick flows?
Fully configurable per customer or per process. You can force scanning or make it optional, verify per item or all at once, enforce serial numbers or not, and choose between per-order, batch or wave picking. We force nothing. You decide how you work.
Do you support serial numbers, batches and expiry?
Yes. Stock can be enriched with batch numbers, serial numbers, IMEIs, weight, expiry dates and RFID tags. FEFO (first expiry, first out) can be set as a suggestion or enforced. Recall scenarios are fully traceable: you see exactly which unit went to which customer.
Does it work for 3PL fulfilment too?
Yes. Stock has an owner in our system and you can run hundreds of companies side by side, each with their own sales channels, their own stock and their own reporting. Suitable for fulfilment providers and multi-brand operations.
What about returns?
Process returns with stated return reasons, approve or reject them, and decide per return whether the product goes back into stock. The returns data stays available in the platform for analysis at product or supplier level.
Can I use AI for reporting?
Yes. Our MCP server lets you pull reports, optimisations and analyses out of your WMS data with AI. You ask questions in natural language and get an answer straight away, without setting up a separate BI tool.
Does the WMS work on mobile scanners?
Yes. Our mobile warehouse app runs on Zebra scanners and other handhelds. We support multiple barcodes per product and barcodes on locations, so you can always find what you are looking for quickly.
