Automated Receiving

Eliminate manual receiving and accelerate dock-to-stock time

Today, inbound goods require labor-intensive verification at receiving docks – manual counting and scanning every case, pallet, or container; paper-based or system reconciliation matching POs to physical deliveries, long lag times between physical arrival and system visibility – often resulting in bottlenecks.

Wiliot provides scan-free, automated confirmation of goods arrival into receiving areas using battery-free IoT Pixels and minimal fixed infrastructure.

The solution application automatically:

  • Detects tagged goods as they enter the receiving area

  • Confirms quantities and matches against expected deliveries (POs, ASNs)

  • Generates digital goods receipt records without manual intervention

  • Provides real-time arrival confirmation at the receiving area.

30-50% reduction in receiving labor - eliminates manual counting and data entry

2–6-hour dock-to-stock time (vs. 24-48 hours manual)

$5M-$25M annual enterprise savings - automated verification reduces human error

$2M-$15M annual enterprise savings from labor, improved throughput, and better inventory availability
