.wms

The enterprise WMS that goes live in weeks.

Thomax .wms starts every site on best-practice templates and configures around your clients, channels, sites and countries as they grow. From a single warehouse to automated, multi-client, multinational networks on the same platform.

An operations wallboard on a TV: total cartons per hour against target with the hourly trend, tasks complete, headcount by work group, pick zone cards for ambient, chilled, frozen and bulk, inbound putaway and dispatch
  1. Rate against target. Cartons per hour for the site and for each temperature zone.
  2. Who is working. Headcount by work group, with idle time flagged.
  3. What is left. Open tasks, picking ETA and replenishments to chase, per zone.
  4. Built for your floor. Every tile is a report, so each board shows what that shift needs.

What live in weeks looks like.

Legacy systems take years to roll out. Thomax sites go live in weeks.

  1. Start on a template.

    Proven receiving, putaway, wave, pick, pack and carrier setups for your operating model, whether that is a cold-store 3PL, a national retailer or a bonded distributor.

  2. Configure the rest.

    Rules, screens and documents change on screen, per site and per client, by your team or ours. Nothing waits on a release.

  3. Connect what you run.

    Your ERP, storefronts, EDI partners and carriers, connected through the Thomax integration hub.

  4. Cut over on your scanners.

    Native Android and iOS apps on the Zebra, Honeywell and other devices you already own. No device project before go-live.

Built for operations like yours.

  • 3PLs running many clients in one building, each with its own rules, rates and portal
  • High SKU counts with batch, serial and expiry control
  • Regulated stock: cold chain, pharma, dangerous goods, bonded, high security
  • Stores, ecommerce and wholesale from one stock pool, at peak
  • Automated sites with AutoStore, AS/RS, shuttles, sorters or robots
  • Many warehouses and countries on one system

.wms connects to your ERP, finance and commerce systems through the Thomax integration hub. It runs the warehouse; your systems of record stay yours.

Everything the floor runs on.

Ten areas on one system, each configurable per client and per site.

Receiving

Inbound is known before the truck arrives. Advance notices come from your ERP, suppliers or a spreadsheet, receipts match against purchase orders line by line, and pallets, cartons and sea containers are received with batch, expiry and serial captured at the dock.

Inventory and traceability

Inventory and traceability

Every pallet, carton and tote is its own record, with its contents, location and full history from receipt to dispatch. Batch, serial, dates and your own trackers travel with the stock, and any batch or date range can be held or released in one step.

Inventory and traceability

Putaway and replenishment

Directed putaway sends each pallet to the right zone and bin for the item, the client and the space available. Fast movers land near dispatch because the system knows what sells, and pick faces are topped up on demand, on minimums or on velocity.

Inventory and traceability

Waves and picking

Pick method is chosen per order, so wholesale accuracy and ecommerce speed run side by side in one building. Waves are built by hand, with volume, weight and cube in view before release, or build themselves on a schedule by carrier and cut-off.

Wave Builder: 8 orders selected, 21 units, 13 lines, 7.2 kg and 0.054 cubic meters, with order cards showing client, due date, carrier and items

Packing and cartonization

The right carton is chosen from item dimensions and weight before the pick starts. Cartons, pallets, mixed pallets, kits and put walls run on the same job engine, so every activity is tracked, timed and billable, with scales and dimensioners at the bench.

Fulfillment execution

Carrier shipping

One native carrier engine prices, books, labels and manifests across every connected carrier in APAC, the UK and Europe, and North America, with dangerous goods data on the consignment. It can pick the cheapest eligible service for every job.

See carriers by region

3PL billing

Charges are generated from the same transactions the warehouse executes: receipts, putaway, storage, picks, packing and freight. Finance reviews and approves in bulk and exports unbilled work before month end. Nothing is re-keyed.

Review Charges for one client across two sites: putaway, weekly pallet storage, returns, pick and pack and dispatch charges, approved rows in green and three rows selected for approval.

Client portal

Your clients raise orders and receipts, follow every job and consignment, and see their stock and reports under their own logo, with teams, spending caps, approvals and two-factor sign-in built in.

Client portal shipment details: a closed order with pick and pack at 100%, delivery address, carrier, connote with proof of pickup and tracking

Mobility

Native Android and iOS apps cover receiving, putaway, picking, packing, sorting, counting, kitting and manifests on the scanners you already own, from Zebra and Honeywell to wearable and watch picking.

Integrations and reporting

Every warehouse event can flow to your ERP, finance, commerce and partner systems through the Thomax integration hub, and every table is open to Power BI. Any report becomes a wallboard tile, so each shift sees its own numbers.

Configured, not coded.

Two clients in one building run different pick rules, labels, documents and billing, nothing built for either. Change a rule on screen; apply it to a client, a site or the network.

  • Screens. Capture steps on web and handheld are configured, so a new check at pick or pack ships without an app release.
  • Rules. Putaway, replenishment, wave and carrier logic run on rules your team can read and change.
  • Your operation. Wave builders, replenishment schedules and wallboards shaped to the way your site runs.

Any automation, run from .wms.

Thomax implements AutoStore, AS/RS, goods-to-person and sortation, builds white-box WCS where a site needs its own control layer, and integrates black-box robotics from any vendor.

  • AutoStore, AS/RS, shuttle systems and pallet shuttles, with the stock record owned by the WMS.
  • Goods-to-person stations, AMRs and robotic picking, released from .wms and confirmed back on the order.
  • Sortation, conveyors, pick-to-light, right-size packaging and robotic palletizing on a control layer your team can see into.
  • Emulated before go-live, redundancy built in, supported 24/7.
