Inventory management for wholesalers

From goods receipt to picking and packing. The right stock per shelf, purchase proposals before it runs out, and a history that shows who did what.

Used by over 600 companies across Europe, including:

A wholesaler lives on having the item on the shelf when the customer calls, and on shipping the right item the first time. With a growing range, several suppliers and deliveries every day, the system soon says one number and the shelf another. Then people order just in case, and picking errors end up at the customer.

Lagerdrift keeps stock per location in real time. Goods receipt, picking and counting happen with a scanner, minimum stock prepares the purchase proposal with supplier and price, and pick orders run from customer to package with a label. Everything is logged with user and time.

Sound familiar?

Picking errors that reach the customer

Wrong item or wrong quantity in the package. The return costs more than the order was worth.

Ordering by gut feeling

Nobody trusts the stock figure, so the buyer orders too much of one thing and too little of another.

Deliveries that never get booked in

The pallet goes on the shelf before anyone has registered it. The item shows as sold out while it sits there.

Customer questions nobody can answer

ยซDo you have 40 in stock?ยป The answer needs a walk into the warehouse while the customer waits on the phone.

How Lagerdrift solves it

Pick orders from customer to package

Create pick orders with customer and delivery address, pick with the scanner, pack and print labels. Approval flow, responsible person and history per order.

Goods receipt with a scanner

Scan the delivery in against the purchase order. Stock is updated at the right location, and open order lines are closed automatically.

Purchase proposals and automatic ordering

Set minimum and maximum per item and location. On a breach the item goes into the purchase proposal with supplier and price, and the order can be sent to the supplier automatically by email with a PDF.

Suppliers, prices and batches

Several suppliers per item with priority and purchase price, price history and stock value. Tracking per batch or serial number, with expiry dates where needed.

Roles for warehouse, purchasing and office

The picker sees their orders, the buyer their proposals, the office everything. The change log shows who did what.

Open API and import

Import of range and prices from CSV and Excel, export to Excel, CSV, JSON and XML. REST API with API keys and webhooks to connect the order system or accounting.

Guides for you

Common questions

Can our customers place orders themselves?
No, Lagerdrift has no customer portal. Pick orders are entered by you, or created from your order system through the API. Customers and delivery addresses live in Lagerdrift, so an order is quick to enter.
Can Lagerdrift order automatically from the supplier?
Yes. When stock drops below minimum, the item goes into the purchase proposal. Suppliers can be set up for automatic ordering, and the order is sent by email with a PDF. The order history shows the status per order.
Can an item have several suppliers?
Yes. Every item can have several suppliers with priority and purchase price. The price history shows the trend, and the stock value is calculated from the price at the preferred supplier.
How does goods receipt work?
The delivery is scanned in against the purchase order in the mobile app or the web app. Stock is updated at the location, and open order lines are closed. Items with batch or serial numbers are registered per batch on receipt.
Can we export to our accounting system?
Stock, movements and orders export to Excel, CSV, JSON and XML, and the API gives access to the same. Lagerdrift has no ready-made connector to accounting systems.
