    What the WMS must track

    Batching is only as reliable as the data behind it. Stacket keeps arrival dates, lot IDs, and rotation priority connected so FIFO compliance never depends on memory.

    Batch Identification

    Every inbound shipment gets a unique batch ID the moment it hits the dock.

    FIFO Priority

    Oldest batches surface first, automatically, at every pick.

    Spoilage Risk

    Expiry and lot data flag at-risk stock before it becomes a write-off.

    Batch Visibility

    See batch age and rotation status across the warehouse in real time.

    The challenge

    Stop Losing Inventory to Poor Rotation

    When inbound stock arrives in waves, tracking individual batches manually leads to mixed inventory and expired products. Stacket automates the identification and tracking of each batch so your oldest stock is always prioritized for shipment.

    How it works

    From Dock to Dispatch

    Stacket creates a clear path for every batch, so inventory moves through the warehouse with maximum efficiency and FIFO compliance from the moment it arrives.

    • Batch ID assigned automatically at receipt
    • System-directed slotting to maintain physical FIFO flow
    • Picking tasks generated from oldest batch availability
    • Real-time batch age and expiry visibility
    Purpose

    Batching Is a Rotation Problem and an Accuracy Opportunity

    Stock batching lets a warehouse track inbound waves as they arrive — for FIFO compliance, spoilage prevention, and clean audits.

    Batch Inbound Tracking

    Assign unique batch identifiers to incoming shipments for granular visibility from the dock.

    Automated FIFO Shipping

    Stacket automatically suggests the oldest batches for picking, so FIFO holds up without manual checks.

    Reduced Spoilage

    Prioritizing older stock cuts the risk of expiration and write-offs.

    Streamlined Rotation

    Rotation logic runs without manual intervention from the warehouse floor.

    Operational Clarity

    Give your team a real-time view of batch ages and inventory health across the warehouse.

    Built for the whole batching workflow

    Who uses stock batching

    Batching touches more than one desk. From the dock lead assigning batch IDs to the compliance lead watching expiry risk, every role relies on the same real-time rotation data.

    01Warehouse operations lead

    Warehouse operations lead

    Oversees daily batch assignment and slotting so FIFO actually holds up on the floor, not just on paper. Reprioritizes work the moment an older batch needs to move first.

    02Receiving / dock lead

    Receiving / dock lead

    Assigns batch IDs and arrival dates the moment inbound stock hits the dock, so nothing gets logged from memory or a clipboard hours later.

    03Inventory control manager

    Inventory control manager

    Tracks batch age and rotation priority across the warehouse without manual spot checks, so counts stay trustworthy between cycle counts.

    04Quality / compliance lead

    Quality / compliance lead

    Relies on expiry and lot tracking to catch spoilage risk before it becomes a write-off, instead of finding it during a routine walk-through.

    053PL account manager

    3PL account manager

    Gives clients confidence that FIFO commitments are actually being met, with batch-level data to back it up instead of a verbal assurance.
