Software and artificial intelligence for Los Barrios' warehouses

Industrial estate, warehouses, transport and storage: in Los Barrios the business is moving things, storing them and knowing where they are at all times. We write the software that does that, and we'll turn up at your warehouse if needed.

How business works in Los Barrios

Here business is measured in goods in and goods out. A haulier, a warehouse or a supplier on the estate doesn't have a marketing problem: it has a traceability problem. Knowing what there is, where it is, who signed for it and when it was delivered.

And nearly always that rests on two things: paper, and a spreadsheet that started out as temporary years ago. It works because one person knows it by heart. The day that person goes on sick leave, the warehouse stops.

Off-the-shelf software fits these warehouses poorly, because every operation has its own way of doing things: no two warehouses store stock the same way and no two routes are closed the same way. That's why the norm here isn't buying a tool, it's building one.

Where it gets stuck

What holds a Los Barrios business back.

The delivery note comes back from the lorry and someone types it up

Signed, crumpled and sometimes blurry. Someone reads it and types it into the computer again. That time adds nothing for anyone, and on top of that it's exactly where the discrepancies appear that you then have to chase.

The temporary spreadsheet that's been around for years

It's the company's real system and nobody outside knows it. Only one person can touch it, it doesn't alert you to anything, and you can't check it from the loading bay without going back to the office.

The phone with the same question

“Has it left yet?”, “what time are you loading?”, “have you got any of this in stock?”. Fair questions that interrupt whoever is organising the load, and that can nearly always be answered by looking up a figure.

An example in Los Barrios

An example of what can be built here: the driver signs for the delivery on their phone, the delivery note is generated and read automatically, stock is updated on the spot and the invoice goes out with what actually moved. The temporary spreadsheet stops being the company's system.
