Flex Storage inherited a warehouse manager who ran everything his own way, on paper. The shareholders needed process, accountability, and the ability to win large customers who demanded pallet-level tracking. AppSphere built a cloud-based workflow system that eliminated paper silos, gave live visibility to all stakeholders, and enabled the business to expand by proving every pallet and action is tracked and auditable.
The warehouse was entirely dependent on one manager who tracked everything on paper, his way. Shareholders had no visibility into operations, no process to fall back on if he left, and no way to prove tracking capabilities to large customers. Over time, the accounts department became misaligned with the warehouse manager. They could not easily get pallet action audits for billing, and stock takes were manual, very time consuming exercises. The paper based system created operational risk and blocked growth opportunities with enterprise clients who required auditable pallet tracking.
The core issue was not volume but vulnerability and lack of accountability. The inherited manager’s paper based system meant key knowledge remained in his head, with data scattered across notes, and shareholders could not see what was happening. Large customers requested pallet level tracking and audit trails, which were impossible to provide. The accounts team worked in parallel but was misaligned, requesting manual audits and stock takes that took hours to complete. The business needed to remove single-person dependency, centralise all data in one system, create live visibility for stakeholders, and align warehouse and accounts teams through shared real-time data.
AppSphere built a cloud-based workflow system where all warehouse data lives in one place. From customer enquiries to pallet movements to invoicing, everything is entered once and visible to the right people in real time. No more paper, no more data silos, no more single-person dependency. Management can see operations live, the team works from tablets and desktops with role-based access, and large customers can be shown exactly how each pallet is tracked and every action is logged. Custom accounting widgets enable the accounts department to extract pallet action audits in seconds, and the warehouse manager can generate client stock takes instantly (tasks that previously took hours of manual work). Anyone in the team can walk through the warehouse, scan the QR code generated when a pallet enters, and instantly see the complete journey of that pallet from the moment it came into their responsibility, proving full traceability to customers.
