Shippingpick, pack, ship with full forward traceability.
Wave planning, scan-gated picks, and a pack/ship station that closes the lot’s forward link to the customer in one move.
What changes once Pick, pack, ship with FEFO/FIFO and forward traceability is live.
Indicative ranges from V5 pilot deployments. Your numbers will land near these once the workflow is operator-led and e-signed at the step.
What changes the day you switch this on.
Manual, paper-driven, and only audited after the fact.
Lot trace at the batch level — bag-level genealogy is guesswork.
Tribal knowledge in spreadsheets and shared drives.
Errors caught at month-end — too late to fix the batch.
FEFO / FIFO enforced
Forward + backward traceability
UDI + customer CoA on the box
Recall-ready in seconds
What you actually get
Operator-led, e-signed, immutable. Engineered for regulated manufacturers — not retrofitted.
FEFO / FIFO enforced
Lot rotation is in the rules, not in operator memory. Expiring stock leaves first.
Forward + backward traceability
From vendor lot → WO → finished lot → customer ship-event, all in one trace query.
UDI + customer CoA on the box
GS1-compliant labels, customer-specific CoA template, automatic email on ship.
Recall-ready in seconds
‘Where did vendor lot RW-228 go?’ returns every WO and every customer in under a minute.

Where AI actually earns its place.
AI works the trace graph behind the pick list — checking rotation logic and answering recall-style questions in seconds so a customer query or a real recall never turns into a war room.
- 01
FEFO/FIFO exception explained, not silent
If a pick would break FEFO/FIFO rotation because a preferred lot is unavailable, AI states the reason and shows what would ship instead, so the picker isn't left guessing why the system suggested an unexpected lot.
- 02
Instant trace answers
For 'where did vendor lot X go' or 'what's in customer shipment Y', AI compiles the answer from the receiving-to-ship trace graph in seconds, formatted for a recall notice or a customer query rather than a raw table dump.
Recall-style trace answered in under a minute instead of a multi-team search.
- 03
Ship-event anomaly flag
AI flags when a pack station's weight verification or carrier confirmation doesn't match the expected shipment content, prompting a check before the label prints rather than after the truck leaves.
AI never selects the shipped lot in place of the enforced FEFO/FIFO rule and never confirms a shipment. It explains rotation decisions and compiles trace data; a human operator scans and confirms every pick and pack.
One operator action — a complete, signed record.
What it leaves behind
- Wave planning + cluster picking
- Pack station with weight verification
- Carrier integrations (UPS / FedEx / DHL)
The clauses this satisfies
What buyers ask before they switch on Shipping.
The rest of the platform this plugs into.
V5 isn't a bolt-on. Every module shares the same data, the same audit trail, the same operator. Pick where to look next.
Receiving
Scan-gated goods-in: matches PO, captures vendor CoA + lot, auto-quarantines, and prints a GS1-128 license plate before putaway. Built for 21 CFR 211 and FSMA 204.
Dispense
Live-scale dispense with tolerance bands and lot-genealogy capture at the gram. Wrong lot? The kiosk says no. Engineered for 21 CFR 211.101 and 111.40.
Production
MMR is locked and snapshotted into every WO. The eBMR fills itself in as operators work — temperature, hold time, in-process checks, all signed.
