Can I trust what leaves the building?
Pack verification, package contents, carton defaults, weights, dimensions, and customer-specific pack requirements.
Warehouse execution
Warehouse execution for teams that need control from receiving dock to shipped package.
ORCA coordinates the work happening on the floor: inbound receiving, bin control, replenishment, pick lists, cart picking, cartonization, packing, parcel, freight, labels, documents, returns, and shipment exceptions.
Scanner-first operations
Designed for operators, supervisors, and the messy middle between them.
Warehouse work is not one screen. ORCA gives each role a focused path while keeping the underlying shipment, inventory, package, bin, document, and audit data connected.
- Receiving flows for POs, inbound shipments, lots, photos, and bin assignment
- Ready-to-pick, picked, packed, ready-to-ship, shipped, hold, and exception queues
- Pick lists, bin carts, package item scans, phone-camera barcode scans, putbacks, skips, and pack verification
- Parcel and freight shipping with cartons, rates, labels, manifests, BOLs, and confirmations
- Inventory audit, bin transfer, replenishment, maintenance, and warehouse task workflows
What managers need solved
The floor needs more than a pick list.
A warehouse operations manager needs confidence that the work is moving correctly, exceptions are visible, and operators are not relying on memory for rules the system should enforce.
Will shipments follow the right rules?
Carrier selection, service overrides, third-party billing, routing holds, documents, and freight review paths.
What is stuck before customers notice?
Backorders, no-location items, label failures, missing tracking, stale queues, skipped items, and repair workflows.
Do we know where inventory actually is?
Receiving into bins, transfers, replenishment, holds, cycle counts, audits, and ledger-backed movement history.
What should supervisors look at first?
Ready-to-pick aging, throughput, shipped volume, queue blockers, pick performance, and exception reports.
Pack control
Packer configuration turns order requirements into floor behavior.
Packing is where inventory accuracy, customer rules, package contents, documents, and shipping handoff all meet. ORCA lets the packer flow enforce the work instead of depending on the most experienced person at the station.
- Require package content scans before shipment moves forward
- Configure carton defaults, weights, package dimensions, and verification needs
- Apply customer-specific pack rules and document requirements
- Keep package item records tied to the shipment for traceability and repair

Shipping decisions
Advanced rules keep shipping from becoming tribal knowledge.
Warehouse teams should not need to remember every carrier account, ship method override, routing guide, hold condition, and document requirement. ORCA can apply shipping logic before the mistake becomes a label, charge, or customer issue.
- Carrier and service selection based on customer, method, account, or shipment attributes
- Third-party billing, freight review, routing holds, and shipment exception paths
- Document and label generation attached to the same shipping decision
- Confirmation and tracking flow tied back to the order, shipment, and customer
Execution depth
The warehouse layer tracks more than tasks.
ORCA keeps the operational objects connected as work moves: inventory, bins, packer configuration, packages, cartons, shipments, shipping rules, documents, labels, carrier events, user actions, and exception states.
Inventory movement
Every transfer, receipt, adjustment, hold, replenish, and bin assignment can leave a usable history instead of becoming tribal knowledge.
- Bin-to-bin transfers
- Location and hold states
- Cycle counts and audits
- Receipts into available stock
Package and carton control
Operators can build cartons, scan package contents, validate weights and dimensions, and preserve carton-level traceability.
- Package item records
- Carton and pallet labels
- Weights and dimensions
- Pack verification rules
Packer configuration
Warehouse teams can control how packing should behave for different customers, products, shipment types, and operator workflows.
- Required pack verification
- Carton and package defaults
- Customer-specific pack rules
- Scanner-first packer flows
Shipping execution
Rate, route, label, manifest, void, and confirm shipments while keeping carrier service, account, and document rules attached to the shipment.
- Parcel, freight, and 3P billing
- BOLs and manifests
- Tracking and confirmations
- Carrier exception repair
Advanced shipping rules
Shipment decisions can follow rule logic instead of tribal knowledge, helping teams choose accounts, services, documents, and review paths correctly.
- Carrier and service rules
- Third-party billing logic
- Ship-method overrides
- Exception and hold routing
Documents and compliance
Packing slips, pickup labels, SSCC labels, routing guide outputs, and partner-specific documents can be generated inside the flow.
- Packing and carton slips
- Partner label formats
- EDI and ASN support
- Local desktop print station workflows
Exception recovery
Blocked work should surface as work, not surprise. ORCA gives teams a place to repair bad labels, missing tracking, stale queues, and unshippable orders.
- Backorder and no-location review
- Putbacks and skipped items
- Shipment repair paths
- Missing tracking audits
Supervisor visibility
Managers can see the queue, aging, blockers, shipped volume, pick performance, and work that needs intervention before it becomes customer pain.
- Ready-to-pick aging
- Processing and shipped volume
- Operator and queue review
- Reports tied to live work
Execution coverage
A warehouse system with real depth, not just pick and ship.
ORCA covers the operational states, documents, scans, queues, and exception paths that make warehouse execution hard to run from generic order software.
Inbound receiving
Receive against purchase orders and inbound shipments, capture photos, track expected quantities, handle lots, and direct product into bins.

Stateful execution
Every step should leave the warehouse smarter than it found it.
ORCA tracks the operational state of inventory, packages, shipments, and documents as work moves through the building. That means supervisors can see what is ready, what is blocked, what is aging, and what already happened.
- Shipment statuses tied to the actual warehouse action
- Package and package-item records for carton-level traceability
- Bin transactions and inventory ledger history for auditability
- Carrier, customer, document, and integration rules attached to execution
- Reports and exception queues built from the same work operators are doing
Operator workflows
Focused screens for the people doing the work.
Each workflow is designed around the task at hand, with scanner-friendly actions for operators and enough context for supervisors to intervene.
Scan and identify
Scan items, bins, carts, packages, labels, and shipment identifiers to keep the physical workflow tied to system state.
Pick and cart
Create pick lists, work cart lanes, resolve skipped items, and keep pick progress visible across ready-to-pick work.
Pack and verify
Build cartons, assign package contents, confirm weights, and protect customer-specific pack rules before shipping.
Rate and label
Quote shipping, select service, print labels, void mistakes, and preserve tracking at shipment and package level.
Supervise queues
Watch aging, due dates, holds, backorders, no-location blockers, freight queues, and ready-to-ship work.
Repair and recover
Support putbacks, label exceptions, shipment repairs, voids, missing tracking reviews, and inventory reconciliation.

Control without clutter
Complex warehouse work should still feel directed.
Good warehouse software makes the next correct action obvious. ORCA is built around operational queues, visible blockers, and controlled actions so work keeps moving without hiding the exceptions.
