The WMS that adapts to your needs
Fox4WorkTM applications
Fox4WorkTM brings together more than fifty interoperable modules, organized by functional domains—from inbound to shipping, including real-time inventory, robotics, traceability and value-added services. Each module can be activated à la carte, as a standalone block or integrated into a broader flow, to build a WMS perfectly suited to your operational constraints: industrial production, e-commerce logistics, pharma, spare parts, or multi-site warehouses.
Designed from the outset to be open, Fox4WorkTM architecture is API-first and relies on native connectors to leading market systems (ERP, TMS, MES, WCS, automation, robotics, etc.). The result is seamless, real-time data flow with no re-entry or disruption, ensuring continuous synchronization between physical and digital flows.
Each functional domain of the suite (picking, inventory, automation, IT security, etc.) groups specialized modules designed to improve performance, reduce errors, automate repetitive tasks and strengthen traceability. You can activate only the modules you need today and add more as you grow — without ever interrupting operations. With Fox4WorkTM, your logistics becomes more agile, more reliable and ready to evolve in real time.

Smoothing the flow of incoming goods
Inbound & Putaway
The Inbound & Putaway domain brings together every operation involved in receiving, qualifying, organising and storing goods from the moment they arrive at the warehouse. Far from being simple goods-in management, this domain has become a strategic lever for efficiency. Fox4WorkTM deploys advanced modules there to automate putaway decisions, reduce human error and adapt the organisation dynamically to how the warehouse is actually used.
Whether it is optimising storage space with no prior configuration, simplifying operations through intelligent scanning of products and packaging, or prioritising putaway according to turnover (the Pareto principle), each module helps to speed up the flow while strengthening quality. This precise control gives better visibility of stock from the moment it arrives and ensures a smooth transition to the next steps in the supply chain.
Module BTB10/A
Automated inbound preparation
Scan a product, then its box, to configure location, labelling, storage and despatch details automatically.
1. Scanning the product identifies the reference, categories and dimensions.

Module BTB10B
Cross-docking (direct flow)
Cross-docking moves items straight from the receiving dock to the shipping dock, with no intermediate storage step. The process identifies, as soon as they arrive, the items already ordered by a customer. This direct flow reduces handling and lead times and increases responsiveness.
1. Proactive identification: recognises items destined for cross-docking even before they arrive.
2. Simplified receiving: goods are validated quickly on arrival, with no putaway.
3. Direct order/receipt link: automatically or manually connects inbound to outbound.
4. Optimised physical flows: operators are guided for a direct, efficient transfer.
- Shorter delivery times: goods move quickly through to despatch, removing the storage step and speeding up the whole warehouse flow, to the benefit of the end customer.
- Less handling: the product is moved only once (from receiving to despatch), which reduces the risk of damage and optimises operators’ work.
- Lower storage and holding costs: by avoiding temporary storage, the process reduces tied-up stock, optimises the use of space and minimises waste and immobilised capital.
- Greater flexibility and responsiveness: cross-docking makes it possible to fulfil customer orders quickly with freshly received goods, improving service levels and customer satisfaction.
Guaranteeing 99% stock accuracy
Inventory & Locations
The Inventory & Locations domain brings together the tools that make stock figures dependable while optimising the physical use of space in the warehouse. With the Fox4WorkTM modules, every product is tracked with heightened precision through scans, real-time updates, custom rules and even photo capture, for a level of control that traditional methods struggle to reach.
The modular approach covers both the automation of cycle counts and the full digitalisation of shelf and bin management, including on Android and iOS handhelds. The goal: to eliminate the gap between theoretical and physical stock, speed up decisions on the floor, and keep locations organised according to the nature and turnover of the products. These tools deliver a high level of logistics reliability while making teams more comfortable and more responsive.

Optimised order preparation
This project sets out to optimise the preparation of manufacturing orders (MO) and R&D projects by organising parts into dedicated bins or pallets. The aim is to let operators take every part they need in one go, doing away with search time and raising efficiency.
1. Intelligent receiving: as soon as components arrive, FOX4work identifies the MO/project they belong to. The operator places the parts straight into a bin or onto a pallet pre-labelled for that specific project. Each part is scanned to ensure digital traceability.
2. Project bins/pallets: each bin or pallet has a unique identifier (barcode/QR code) linked to the MO/project in FOX4work. Once every part for a project is in the bin, FOX4work marks it as “Ready to use”.
3. Easy location: FOX4work indicates the physical location of the project bins/pallets (e.g. “MO preparation area”).
4. Simplified operator interface: operators use a tablet to see where to place incoming parts, check the status of their projects (“Ready to use”) and confirm they have taken the bin by scanning it.
- Major time saved for production and R&D.
- Fewer errors and missing parts.
- Better productivity and greater operator satisfaction.
- Better visibility and traceability of projects.
- This system transforms component management: instead of hunting for parts, they are organised and instantly available for each project. FOX4work is the ideal tool to orchestrate this optimisation.
