Running multiple warehouses should increase flexibility… not complexity. But without connected data, stock duplication, slow transfers, and manual allocation cause errors and delays. Clarus unites every site under one live data layer.
From a single dashboard, you can view, allocate, and rebalance stock across locations. The system automatically selects the optimal fulfilment site based on inventory, proximity, and delivery promise. Whether it’s two depots or twenty, your network acts as one cohesive operation. Orders reach customers faster, inventory moves more intelligently, and growth no longer adds complexity.
Clarus analyses every order as it enters the system, assessing stock levels, product availability, and delivery location. It automatically routes fulfilment to the warehouse that can deliver most efficiently… balancing cost, speed, and customer expectation. This automation reduces delivery times and freight costs while increasing capacity.
Manage stock from all locations through a single view. Multi-Warehouse Support gives you unified visibility over what’s on hand, what’s in transit, and what’s committed. Adjust allocations instantly, manage replenishment between sites, and prevent costly stock duplication.
Balance inventory effortlessly. When one region runs low, Clarus generates transfer tasks to move goods from another location. Transfers are tracked in real time, with full traceability and cost attribution. It’s proactive, not reactive, stock control.
Adding new warehouses, 3PL partners, or cross-dock sites doesn’t require reconfiguring your system. Clarus automatically syncs each new site into the network, maintaining visibility and consistency across your entire operation.
Every role benefits from a connected network. Clarus gives each role the clarity to make better, faster decisions.
Stock levels, allocations, and transfers are visible in one view, reducing uncertainty and manual checks. Automated routing means fewer fulfilment errors and faster throughput. No more chasing spreadsheets or second-guessing stock.
Clarus turns distributed logistics into a single, synchronised network. KPIs like order turnaround, stock ageing, and site utilisation are unified into one performance view. It’s strategic control made practical real-time data powering confident decisions.
The system automatically matches orders with the nearest capable warehouse and preferred carrier, reducing lead times and costs. With location-aware logic and full visibility, fulfilment becomes seamless and predictable.
Discover how Clarus WMS is transforming the logistics landscape with cloud technology and automation. JODA modernised its operation after years on legacy systems, consolidating multiple brands and a growing catalogue into one platform. Early challenges centred on stock visibility and manual processes across sites.
With Clarus, JODA gained a live view of inventory, a 3D warehouse map, and configurable multi-warehouse support that routed orders to the optimal location automatically. In the second year, stock management accuracy reached 99% and fulfilment reliability followed suit.
How does multi-warehouse support integrate with our existing systems?
Clarus connects to your order sources and back-office through modern APIs, EDI, and native connectors. Orders flow in from your OMS, e-commerce platform, marketplaces, or ERP, and acknowledgements flow back in real time. Inventory updates synchronise by site, including on-hand, allocated, and inbound quantities, so promise dates and routing decisions stay accurate. Carrier integrations generate labels and documents at the despatching warehouse. If you have specialist systems for forecasting or slotting, Clarus exchanges the data it needs without disrupting current processes. Your team keeps familiar tools while gaining a reliable orchestration layer across all locations.
Can it support multi-site operations across countries and carriers?
Yes. Clarus models each warehouse as a first-class site with its own calendars, cut-offs, carriers, and service levels. Allocation rules can be global, regional, or site-specific, so you respect local constraints while maintaining consistent governance. Cross-border shipments are supported with commodity codes, paperwork generation, and rules that prefer local fulfilment to minimise duties when appropriate. Analytics roll up network performance and drill down to a single aisle, letting you compare sites and identify best practices. As you add locations, the same configuration templates bring new warehouses online quickly and safely.
What happens if the selected warehouse runs out of stock before despatch?
Clarus continuously monitors order status against live inventory. If a pick face shortfall occurs, rules can trigger alternate sourcing, substitute items, or a transfer without losing the order. Managers see an explanation of the decision and can override when necessary. Because the allocation engine considers safety stock and inbound transfers, the system avoids churn by choosing sites with resilient supply. The goal is to protect promised dates first, then optimise cost. You get fewer late notifications and a predictable customer experience.
How are transfers planned and tracked between warehouses?
Transfer orders are created with clear origins, destinations, and due dates. The system prints picking tasks at the source site, produces ASN labels, and expects receipt at the destination with guided putaway. Transit, discrepancies, and partial receipts are visible to both sites, closing the loop. You can drive transfers by rules, forecasts, or simple thresholds, and Clarus records the full trail for accurate costing. With multi-warehouse support, balancing stock becomes routine rather than a scramble, and planners focus on where to move stock, not how to document it.
Will multi-warehouse support increase picking complexity for our teams?
It reduces it. Decisions that used to happen in inboxes now happen in the system before the wave is released. Each warehouse receives only the work it can fulfil, sequenced around its cut-offs and capacities. Pickers see shorter paths and fewer exceptions because orders are already matched to the right site and stock. Supervisors gain exception views for shortages or carrier issues, with clear actions rather than guesswork. Training simplifies because every site follows the same patterns, adapted by configuration rather than custom process.
How quickly can we add a new warehouse to the network?
New sites come online with configuration templates for locations, zones, permissions, and carrier services. You can import master data, slotting profiles, and label formats, then validate with a sandbox wave before going live. Because multi-warehouse support is native, the only change for upstream systems is enabling the new site code. Teams get role-based access on day one, and the allocation engine considers the site as soon as it is available. The outcome is measurable: less cut-over risk, faster time to value, and a network that stays flexible.
