Warehouse
Operations.
Precision at the physical layer. Your warehouse is where e-commerce gets real—data becomes boxes, orders become shipments, and accuracy determines customer satisfaction.
Vastyn brings digital precision to your physical operations. Know exactly where every product is—down to the specific bin. Verify the right item at every step with barcode scanning.
Warehouse Intelligence
Bin-level tracking, scan verification, and FIFO allocation—WMS-grade precision without WMS complexity.
The Warehouse
Problem
"In stock" doesn't tell you where. Every wrong shipment erodes customer trust and seller metrics.
Picker can't find the product the system says is "in stock"
Wrong item shipped because products look similar
FIFO not enforced—old stock ages while new stock ships
It's a cascade that starts with no location precision
The search and rescue mission
The system says you have stock. The picker can’t find it. Because "in stock" doesn’t tell you where. Products migrate to wrong locations. Received goods get put wherever there’s space. The system has a number; the warehouse has chaos.
Wrong items shipped
Two products look similar. The picker grabs the wrong one. Maybe it’s the wrong size. Maybe it’s used instead of new. Maybe it’s a completely different product in similar packaging. The customer receives something they didn’t order. Return initiated. Refund processed. Negative review posted.
The inventory mystery
Stock count day reveals the truth: hundreds of discrepancies. Products the system didn’t know about. Products the system said existed but don’t. Where did they go? Nobody knows. The gap between system and reality grows every day.
FIFO failures
Old stock sits on back shelves while new shipments get picked from the front. Products expire. Customers receive items near end of life. Returns spike. Waste increases. The system doesn’t enforce first-in-first-out—it just shows total quantity.
Condition chaos
You sell new and refurbished versions of the same product. A customer orders "New — £89" and receives a refurbished unit because the picker grabbed from the wrong bin. The price difference is £30. The customer is furious. Amazon’s listing might get suppressed for condition complaints.
Proof problems
Customer claims they received the wrong item. Did they? You have no way to prove what was actually shipped. It’s your word against theirs. You refund to preserve the relationship, even when you suspect fraud.

WMS Features Without
WMS Complexity
Dedicated WMS platforms are powerful but complex. Separate implementation, separate integration, separate training. Designed for massive distribution centres, not growing e-commerce warehouses.
Traditional WMS requires a separate system that must be integrated with your inventory, orders, and channels—more cost, more complexity, more points of failure.
Enterprise pricing for enterprise features you don't need. Most growing e-commerce businesses need precision, not complexity.
Vastyn integrates warehouse capabilities into the platform you already use. One system, not two. One login, not separate credentials.
Digital Precision for Physical Operations
Integrated warehouse capabilities that connect directly to your inventory, orders, and fulfilment.
Bin-Level Location Tracking
Every product has an address. Not just "in the warehouse" or "on shelf B"—but Zone A, Aisle 3, Shelf 2, Bin 4. When a pick list generates, it tells the picker exactly where to go. When stock is received, it’s assigned to a specific location. When inventory moves, the system knows.
- Hierarchical locations: Zone → Aisle → Shelf → Bin
- Visual warehouse builder—map your actual layout
- Location-directed picking—pickers know exactly where to go
- Movement tracking—system always knows where stock is
Barcode Scanning at Every Step
Scan to receive. Scan to pick. Scan to pack. Scan to ship. Every touchpoint verified.
- Scan receiving—verify what arrived matches what was expected
- Scan picking—confirm right product, right condition
- Scan packing—verify box contents before sealing
- Scan shipping—link tracking, complete audit trail
FIFO Automatic Allocation
When an order comes in, the system finds the right stock—not just any stock. FIFO (First In, First Out) allocation automatically directs pickers to the oldest inventory. Products received first ship first. No more old stock aging on back shelves.
- Automatic oldest-first allocation
- Expiry date tracking with alerts
- Batch and lot number support
- Location optimisation for picking efficiency
Condition-Based Inventory
New, used, refurbished, graded, open-box—each condition tracked separately with its own locations and quantities. When a customer orders "New," the pick list directs to new stock only. Scan verification confirms the condition before shipping.
- Separate tracking per condition
- Condition-specific bin assignments
- Pick validation prevents condition errors
- Marketplace condition mapping
