The module no other maritime platform has.
Every ship manager runs a shore warehouse. Every shore warehouse runs on generic WMS software, retrofitted spreadsheets, or nothing at all. VOLAX WRH is the first purpose-built warehouse module for marine spare parts — natively wired into vessel inventory and procurement.
The marine warehouse is a specialist problem the general WMS market ignored.
Standard WMS assumes retail volumes, predictable SKUs, and dock-door delivery to a truck. A marine warehouse ships eight different POs from three different vendors as one consolidated crate to a port agent who forwards it to a vessel that shifted its berth twice. Hazardous storage rules differ from land goods. Interchangeability rules matter more than SKU exactness. That’s why we built VOLAX WRH from the ground up.
Every marine warehouse workflow, purpose-built
Multi-location, zone & bin tracking
Manage a global network of warehouses, port hubs, and consolidation points from one console. Every item has a home bin; every bin has a hazard classification; every location has utilisation analytics.
Receiving to dispatch, optimised for marine parts
Purpose-built workflows for maritime: PO receipt with QC inspection, put-away suggestions weighted by rotation and hazard segregation, wave picking by vessel-dispatch, pack for maritime consolidation, ship with courier or forwarder integration.
Native integration with VOLAX Procure
The PO exists once, in one place. VOLAX WRH receives against it, VOLAX Procure closes it, and the accrual clears in VOLAX Finance — without a single re-key.
Native integration with VOLAX Inventory
When you dispatch a crate to a vessel, the vessel inventory is updated the moment the shipment is confirmed — not weeks later when the master finally reconciles. Master accepts, vessel stock closes, chain of custody proven.
Shipment consolidation for vessel deliveries
Eight POs for the same voyage, three vendors, one crate to the port agent. WRH consolidates automatically, assigns a single shipment number, and produces the master packing list the forwarder needs.
Forwarding agent coordination
Track shipments across freight forwarders, courier services, port agents, and vessel receipts. Documentation packaged automatically: commercial invoice, packing list, hazardous declaration, delivery instruction.
Warehouse utilisation analytics
Space per SKU. Throughput per zone. Slow-mover analysis. Aging inventory. Utilisation trend by warehouse. The data your warehouse manager needs to plan next quarter’s expansion.
Hazardous goods storage compliance
Class-based segregation rules enforced in put-away suggestions. IMDG compliance. Marine pollutant flags. Fire-protection zoning. Warehouse safety is not an afterthought — it’s in the workflow.
Returns management with vendor credit
Warranty returns, wrong-item returns, damaged-in-transit — tracked through the vendor credit cycle. VOLAX Finance sees the credit note the day it’s raised.
Barcode & QR-native operations
Mobile devices for receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and dispatch. Every scan is a database transaction — no batch upload, no end-of-day reconciliation. Warehouse throughput measured in real time.
Warehouse in the middle. Ship on one side, purchase on the other.
One dataset. One shipment number tracked across purchase, warehouse, dispatch, and vessel receipt.
