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)
- 99%+ receipt accuracy - automated verification reduces human error
- $2M-$15M annual enterprise savings from labor, improved throughput, and better inventory availability
