AKMFlow — Warehouse & Materials Management System

Features

Every module, and exactly what it does

AKMFlow ships as one connected system across warehouses, inventory, stores, point of sale, purchasing and intelligence. Nothing below is a roadmap item — this is what a licensed company workspace can operate today.

Structure & master data

  • Warehouse → Zone → Aisle → Rack → Level → Bin hierarchy
  • Bin attributes, capacity and blocking
  • Item master with categories, units of measure and conversions
  • Batch / lot, expiry and serial-number control
  • Projects and cost centres as operational references

Inbound

  • Goods receipt against an inbound reference
  • Quantity, batch, expiry and serial capture at receipt
  • Quality states: available, quarantine, damaged
  • Directed and manual put-away to a real bin
  • Formal GRN document with approval history

Outbound

  • Material request with operational approval
  • Reservation of available stock only
  • FEFO / FIFO picking suggestions
  • Quarantine, damaged and expired stock blocked from issue
  • Material Issue and Material Return documents

Inventory control

  • Real-time stock by item, bin, batch, serial and status
  • Bin-to-bin and warehouse-to-warehouse transfers
  • Cycle counting with bin freezing
  • Variance review and supervised adjustment approval
  • Immutable movement history for every quantity change

Replenishment (IRR)

  • Per item and warehouse safety stock, reorder point and lead time
  • Automatic coverage-driven suggestions
  • Manual and emergency requests
  • Multi-stage operational approval
  • Inter-warehouse transfer or procurement handover — quantities only

Stores & point of sale (optional)

  • Stores as first-class stock locations alongside warehouses
  • Cashier shifts with opening float, cash movements and reconciled closing
  • Barcode checkout with receipts, returns and refunds
  • Every sale reduces stock in the same ledger immediately
  • Enabled per licence — no retail screens or roles when POS is off

Suppliers & purchasing

  • Supplier master with contacts, terms and activity history
  • Purchase orders with a deterministic draft → approved → received lifecycle
  • Receiving against an order updates quantities and moving average cost
  • Supplier returns that reduce stock and reference the original order
  • Quantities-only handover when procurement lives in another system

Inventory intelligence

  • Out-of-stock, reorder, overstock, slow-moving and dead-stock signals
  • Expiry watchlists ahead of the write-off
  • Coverage and demand-driven replenishment suggestions
  • Location-aware stock health across warehouses and stores
  • Configurable slow-moving, dead and expiry thresholds

Owner dashboard & analytics

  • Revenue, cost of goods sold, gross profit and stock valuation in base currency
  • Shared date-range and location filters across dashboard, finance and reports
  • Sales and movement trends derived from the same transactions
  • Live activity feed across receiving, issuing, counting, purchasing and sales
  • Cost figures omitted server-side for unauthorised roles

Barcode & QR

  • 1D barcode and QR label generation
  • Labels for items, bins and pallets (LPN)
  • Handheld scanner and mobile camera input
  • Scan validation of item, batch, serial and bin
  • Scan-driven receiving, put-away, picking and counting

Documents & reporting

  • Gapless annual document numbering (e.g. GRN-2026-000001)
  • Cancelled numbers remain consumed and auditable
  • Documents printed under the customer's own logo and legal details
  • Operational reporting across stock, movement and workload
  • Valuation and cost reporting restricted to authorised roles

People, assets & self-service

  • Workforce register — who receives materials, operational only
  • Equipment register with maintenance and inspection tracking
  • My Materials self-service portal for employees
  • In-product support tickets with conversation history
  • Role-based navigation and screen visibility

Platform, licensing & data

  • Multi-company isolation enforced in the database
  • Named users, warehouse, SKU, transaction and storage entitlements
  • Fixed-term licence with grace, restricted and suspended states
  • Offline entitlement validation for the desktop client
  • Smart Excel migration for opening structure, items and balances
