Goods coming in
The most important hour of the day. Get what arrived recorded correctly and everything downstream can be trusted.
Booking goods in
Leaf reads the paperwork before the trailer opens, then walks your receiver through it pallet by pallet, spoken aloud or on the handheld screen, whichever they prefer.
Shortages, damage and substitutions logged as they're found, not written on a clipboard for later
Clean deliveries close themselves; only the odd ones reach a human
Suppliers who keep getting it wrong get checked more often, automatically
Putting stock away
Leaf picks the location that costs you least over the life of the stock, not just the nearest empty hole.
Fast movers land near the pick line, slow movers go up high
Weight, height, temperature and hazard rules checked before anyone lifts
Blocked location? Leaf re-routes on the spot and flags it for a look
The yard and the doors
Everything between the gate and the dock: who's waiting, which door, and what it's costing you to keep them.
Door schedules that reshuffle themselves when a truck runs late
Detention clocks watched per carrier, so you unload the expensive ones first
Yard moves go to the spotter as ordinary jobs, in the same voice
Keeping stock honest
The quiet work that decides whether picking is easy or miserable, and whether your stock figures can be believed.
Laying out the warehouse
Leaf watches what actually sells and keeps proposing a better layout, with the walking it saves worked out in advance.
Products often bought together end up near each other
Small moves happen in the quiet hours; big re-shuffles wait for your yes
Season coming? The layout changes before the rush, not after it
Counting without stopping
Counts happen in the gaps of the working day. No annual shutdown, no weekend of overtime.
Empty shelf? Whoever is standing there counts it, it takes ten seconds
Repeat mistakes in one aisle get spotted as a pattern, not filed as noise
Expiry and batch dates tracked, oldest stock always going out first
Keeping pick faces full
Leaf tops up the front of the warehouse before it runs dry, using what's actually about to be picked.
Pickers stop waiting on a forklift that nobody called
Prime space doesn't get overstuffed with stock that won't move
Usually the first job people are happy to let Leaf run unwatched
Holds and recalls
When something needs to stop moving, it stops moving, instantly, everywhere, without asking permission.
A recall trace takes minutes: every location touched, every order shipped
Hazardous goods kept apart by rule, at every step, not by memory
Releasing a hold always needs a person. Placing one never does
Orders going out
Where the labour bill lives, and where a promise to a customer is either kept or quietly broken.
Deciding what goes out, and when
Leaf releases work to the floor at the rate the floor can absorb, aimed at the carrier cutoffs that matter today.
Batches when batching is better, continuous flow when it isn't. It switches on its own
A cutoff at risk gets rescued by simulation, never by guesswork
Small single-line orders grouped so nobody walks the same aisle twice
Picking
The shortest sensible walk, in the right order, spoken one line at a time. Nobody reads a pick list.
Routes avoid the aisle that's already crowded
Nothing there? Leaf finds the stock elsewhere and the order still ships
Trips get combined, drop a pallet on the way past, don't drive back empty
Packing
The right box, chosen before picking starts, because the box size is what the carrier actually charges you for.
Less air shipped, less dunnage bought, fewer oversize surcharges
Weight checked at the bench, so the wrong item never leaves the building
Leaf tells you when your box range itself is costing you money
Labels, carriers and loading
The cheapest service that still keeps the promise, checked on every parcel, against your own negotiated rates.
Where a customer mandates the carrier, their rule wins automatically
Pallets and trailers loaded in delivery order, stable and legal
What you paid and what you charged are both recorded, margin per parcel, on demand
Returns
Graded at the bench and sent wherever it's worth the most: back to stock, refurbished, sold on, or written off.
Saleable stock is back on the shelf the same shift
Credit recommendations go back to your client without a phone call
Suspicious return patterns get flagged to the brand, never acted on by Leaf
Assembly and extras
Kits, bundles, gift wrap, relabelling, display builds, scheduled around the picking, not on top of it.
Components reserved before the work order hits the bench
Leaf advises how many kits to pre-build versus make to order
Every minute of it is billable, and billed
The business behind the floor
People, money and paperwork. The parts that decide whether a busy warehouse is also a profitable one.
Your team
Leaf knows how long each job really takes, because it timed every one of them. It uses that to coach, not to police.
Tomorrow's staffing forecast from tomorrow's actual order book
People moved to the bottleneck before it forms, not after
Feedback reaches the worker first, in their ear. No league tables
Invoicing your clients
Every billable moment priced against that client's contract as it happens, then assembled into an invoice you can defend line by line.
Storage worked out from what was really on hand, day by day
Work you've been doing for free gets flagged as missed revenue
A dispute is answered with the scan and the timestamp, same day
Imports, duty and bonded stock
Customs status lives with the stock itself, so bonded and duty-paid goods can never quietly get mixed up.
Sanctions screening on every outbound order, as a hard block
Duty worked out per shipment; Leaf advises when to clear stock, not just how
The annual customs reconciliation is a report, not a fortnight
