Operations
Multi-warehouse inventory management
Run multiple warehouses from a single Crate organization. Each facility gets its own location hierarchy, stock positions, and operational workflows — while you maintain a unified view across the entire operation.
Capabilities
How multi-warehouse works in Crate
Independent Structure
Each warehouse has its own zone, aisle, rack, and bin hierarchy. No shared location codes or naming conflicts between facilities.
Per-Warehouse Stock
Stock positions are tracked independently per warehouse. The same SKU can exist in multiple warehouses with separate quantities, lots, and bin assignments.
Data Isolation
Warehouse operations don't leak into each other. A GRN at Warehouse A doesn't affect stock at Warehouse B. Cross-warehouse visibility is read-only and intentional.
Unified Reporting
View organization-wide inventory totals across all warehouses, or drill down to a single facility. Reports support warehouse-level filtering for focused analysis.
Independent Workflows
Each warehouse runs its own procurement, receiving, and inventory workflows. POs are placed against a specific destination warehouse. GRNs are processed at the receiving facility.
Reorder Points Per Warehouse
Set different min/max thresholds for the same SKU at different warehouses. A distribution center may need deeper stock than a retail back-room.
Use Cases
Common multi-warehouse setups
Whether you're running two facilities or twenty, Crate's multi-warehouse model adapts to your operational structure without workarounds or compromises.
Distribution Center + Retail
Central DC holds bulk inventory and replenishes store back-rooms. Track stock at both levels with independent bin structures and separate reorder points.
Regional Warehouses
Multiple facilities serving different geographies. Each warehouse operates autonomously with its own receiving, storage, and dispatch workflows.
Cold Storage Separation
Temperature-controlled inventory in a separate facility or zone. Track cold-chain goods independently with lot-level expiry dates and FIFO/FEFO compliance.
3PL Client Segregation
Third-party logistics providers can model each client's inventory as a separate warehouse, ensuring complete operational and data isolation between clients.
