Receive every inbound pallet against the PO, catch shorts and overages at the dock, and let Klovio direct each item to the best bin. No clipboards. No end-of-day re-keying. Stock is live and sellable the instant putaway is confirmed.
If receiving is wrong, everything downstream is wrong. The picker pulls the wrong lot because the expiry date never got captured. The system says 60 cases when 48 came off the truck. The accountant reconciles to a number nobody trusts. The worst part: most receiving errors aren't operator errors — they're paper errors, baked in before anyone opens the system.
The receiver scribbles on a clipboard. Someone keys it in hours later. Every handoff drops something — the lot, the expiry, the actual quantity when a finger slips on the number pad.
Pallets parked in staging waiting for a location become shrink, expiry write-offs, and "where did that pallet go" mysteries. Stock you received but can't sell isn't inventory — it's a liability blocking the dock.
If the date isn't scanned at the dock, it gets guessed at a desk. And one wrong date poisons every FEFO pick after it — you ship near-expiry stock and hold the fresh stuff until it spoils.
Same truck, same SKUs, same crew. The only difference is whether the count, the lot, and the location are captured at the dock — or guessed at later.
No paper, no parked pallets, no end-of-day re-keying. The shortest path from a barcode coming off the truck to sellable inventory on the shelf.
The receiver pulls up the purchase order or ASN — what should arrive, in what quantity, from which supplier. No PO? Blind receiving works too: just scan what came off the truck.
Barcode, quantity, lot, and expiry captured at the moment of receipt. Shorts, overages, and damages flag instantly against the PO — not a week later when memory's gone.
The handheld names the best bin by velocity, zone, and capacity. The receiver walks it over, scans the bin to confirm, and the stock is live — pickable and sellable that instant.
Klovio matches every scan to the open purchase order or ASN in real time. The line you just received turns green; a short or overage turns amber the instant the quantities don't agree — while the driver is still standing there.
Nobody should have to memorize where 4,000 SKUs belong. Klovio reads your warehouse rules and the item's attributes, then tells the receiver exactly which bin to walk it to — cold goes to cold, fast-movers go near the pick face, oversized goes to the back.
Putaway logic weighs velocity, temperature zone, and live bin capacity together, so suggestions stay smart as your slotting and stock levels change. Scan the bin to confirm and the item is sellable the same second.
From the moment a barcode comes off the truck to the moment that stock is pickable, sellable, and live in every report. Minutes, not a shift.
20 minutes is all it takes to see guided receiving and directed putaway on your kind of inventory.
