Solutions / Warehouse operations

Floor level processing that feeds the system you already run.

A rigid WMS or ERP that cannot be customized for a new line of work. No engineering department waiting to help. Shop floor needs the enterprise system never addresses. Upstream walks up to the mess, adds structure and process, and still hands the data back to your system automatically.

01 · What arrives

What lands on the floor.

01

A new line the ERP was not built for

Recommerce, recycling, returns. Specific processing needs that sit outside what the enterprise system does, and no way to add them.

02

Everything handled by hand

Items processed whether or not they are worth processing, because nobody upstream of the floor can tell.

03

Shrinkage and counts

Inventory that walks, and wall to wall counts that eat a weekend.

02 · What Upstream does here

Where it applies.

Receive

Receiving and put away at item level

Every item gets an identity and a location the moment it is photographed, on your serials.

Identify

Floor processing that writes back

A process for the line the ERP could not give you, with identity, condition, value and location fed to the ERP so it stays the system of record.

Route

Only the right items move forward

Identification and valuation upstream of e-commerce so the listing team only receives what will sell.

Ship

Pick, pack and ship for the recovery line

Fulfill where the floor needs it, feeding your system.

03 · What you get back

With the money and the record.

01

Labor per unit, down

Nobody types. Nobody processes what will not sell.

02

A process the floor can run

Structure for the line, without a change request to the ERP vendor.

03

The ERP stays the system of record

Data flows back automatically. No second system to reconcile.

04 · With your systems

Alongside, not instead.

Rigid systems

Rigid systems, met on their own terms

Upstream finds a way into the ERP, adds the feature the floor needs, and feeds the ERP the data it wants.

Days

Implemented in days

Quick Start on the floor first, integration second.

Scope

Honest about scope

Fulfill is built for the recovery line, not for enterprise inventory accounting. It sits beside an enterprise WMS. It does not replace one.

05 · Questions

The ones that come up first.

All ten answers →

Will this replace our WMS?

No. It runs alongside it and writes to it. If your WMS does what you need, you keep it and Upstream feeds it.

We have no engineering team. Is that a problem?

It is the normal case. Quick Start needs nothing from your engineers. Deeper integration is scoped by ours.

How fast?

The floor is processing with Quick Start the day after the walkthrough. Write back to your ERP follows in weeks.
