Automations & Triggers

Automate the moments that slow you down.

Use event triggers to remove manual handoffs from goods-in to despatch. Configure once. Let rules fire tasks, updates, and notifications the instant work is ready.

Fewer keystrokes.

Fewer errors.

Faster flow.

Fix bottlenecks with event-driven workflows. Work smarter.

When operations rely on inboxes and memory, delays creep in. Inventory updates lag. Orders wait for someone to notice the next step. With Clarus WMS, event triggers connect every stage. A completed receipt automatically raises putaway tasks. A released order generates directed picks and flows to pack and ship without rekeying. Exceptions route to the right person with context. Accuracy lifts. Lead times shrink. Your team focuses on value instead of admin.

Start seeing results straight away.

Minimise human error in data entry.

Replace manual updates with automated actions. Define a trigger once, then let the system generate tasks, update statuses, and notify stakeholders. Cleaner data means fewer corrections and fewer customer escalations.

Maintain a steady operational rhythm.

Protect throughput with hands-off transitions between steps. Receipts flow to putaway. Orders flow to pick, pack, and despatch. Quality checks and holds apply automatically when conditions are met. Your floor keeps moving.

Improve service with faster responses.

Give customers timely updates without chasing. Triggers can send confirmations, export files, or call webhooks as events occur. Support teams see the same live picture and can act immediately when something changes.

Configurable without code.

Build, test, and refine automations in the platform. Choose the event. Add conditions. Define the action. Deploy confidently and scale rules as you grow.

Who this helps: automation that backs your team. Work confidently.

Event triggers remove the guesswork from handoffs. With automation running the routine, everyone has more time for the work that moves the needle.

Head of Operations reviews live automations and throughput driven by event triggers.

Head of Operations

Set policy once and roll it out safely. Define which events raise tasks, when to enforce quality holds, and when to alert customers. Event triggers provide a control layer for SLAs and cost, so performance is designed in, not chased later.

Warehouse Manager oversees tasks auto-generated from receipts to despatch by event triggers.

Warehouse Manager

Putaway, replen, and pick lists arrive just-in-time. Tasks are sequenced by cut-off and capacity, not by email. Exceptions show with clear next actions. The result is fewer stoppages, cleaner benches, and on-time despatch.

IT Systems Lead configures a webhook and file export triggered by order despatch events.

IT Systems Lead

Expose the right data at the right time. Use triggers to drop files to SFTP, call webhooks, and push event payloads to partners without bespoke code. You standardise integrations across customers while staying agile.

How this feature works. Behind the clarity.

Clarus WMS automates warehouse operations from receipt to despatch. Completing a receipt task generates a putaway task that appears immediately on mobile devices. Processing a sales order triggers a picking task which progresses to pack and then to loading, with paperwork and labels produced at the right moment. The workflow is continuous and traceable, reducing manual intervention and the risk of missed steps.

For integrations, event triggers can drop an export file to SFTP or call a webhook at the exact moment you need it. You can choose the file format, set the filename convention, and populate columns using template variables. Start small with a single trigger, prove the flow, and expand from there.

FAQs
  1. How do event triggers integrate with our existing systems?
    Clarus exposes modern APIs, secure SFTP, and webhooks so you can connect to ERPs, OMS, carriers, and partners. Triggers can generate export files in CSV, XML, or text and deliver them automatically, or push structured payloads to your endpoints. Because rules are configured in-platform, you can iterate without waiting for custom development.

  2. Can we control when a trigger fires… by site, customer, or product?
    Yes. Add conditions to target specific warehouses, customer accounts, carriers, or SKUs. For example, you can notify only when an order for Account X leaves Warehouse B, or apply a hold when a product class fails a tolerance. Conditions keep automation precise and prevent noisy alerts.

  3. Do event triggers help with inventory accuracy?
    They do. As events occur, the system updates statuses, adjusts stock, and raises follow-on tasks automatically. That reduces lag between physical movement and system truth. With fewer manual entries, you avoid duplication, missed steps, and preventable discrepancies.

  4. What formats and destinations are supported for exports?
    Create text, CSV, or XML files with columns you control and drop them to SFTP on schedule or immediately when an event occurs. You can also call webhooks with payloads tailored to partner needs. File naming conventions are configurable per customer so everyone gets the format they expect.

  5. How should we roll out automation without disrupting operations?
    Start small. Pick a simple but valuable trigger, such as generating a despatch confirmation file for one customer. Validate the outcome, then expand to more events and partners. This incremental approach speeds time-to-value and builds internal confidence.

  6. Will event triggers replace my team’s judgement?
    No. They take care of the predictable, repeatable steps so your team can focus on exceptions and improvement. You still set the rules and retain overrides. Automation amplifies good process. It doesn’t remove control.
