What Bold WMS Does
Bold WMS gives you end-to-end control over your warehouse operations without the complexity of enterprise-grade systems. Its core job is to eliminate the manual admin — spreadsheets, paper forms, line-by-line data entry — that quietly drains your team’s time and introduces costly errors.Multi-Level Locations
Organize your warehouse from building level down to individual bin — and know exactly where every item is at any moment.
Delivery Note Scanning
Photograph a delivery note and Bold extracts references and quantities automatically, cross-checking against open purchase orders.
Inventory & Traceability
Every production run updates stock automatically. Full lot traceability from purchase receipt through to customer dispatch.
Mobile-First Operations
Managers plan on PC while operators work on tablet or phone — iOS or Android, your choice.

WMS vs. ERP: Complementary, Not Competing
It is common to ask whether a WMS overlaps with an ERP. They are designed for different jobs and work best when connected.| ERP | WMS | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Administrative, financial, commercial | Physical warehouse operations |
| Key tasks | Planning, invoicing, procurement | Receipts, locations, picking, traceability |
| Where it runs | Office | Warehouse and shop floor |
Bold has a public, documented API compatible with the most widely used ERPs, including SAP, Sage, Navision, and A3.
WMS and MES: Closing the Loop
Bold also integrates WMS with its Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) in a single cloud platform. This means:- Production orders automatically consume raw materials from the WMS the moment they are started on the shop floor.
- Finished goods are immediately created in stock when a production run completes — no manual entry required.
- MRP purchase suggestions are based on real-time stock levels from the WMS, not a manually updated spreadsheet.
