Introduction to storage

How does storing items work?

If you store items for your customers, the storage module is suitable for you. You set up storage via the back office, and manage it day to day with the app. You'll find the module via WMS in the navigation.

What can I do with the Storage module?

  • Setting up warehouses and storage bays

  • Creating storage units in the form of crates, pallets, etc

  • Linking storage to jobs and customers, loading items, and charging costs

  • Easily keeping your storage up to date with the app

Warehouses and storage bays

Warehouses and storage bays are the physical locations where storage takes place. You can create multiple storage bays within a warehouse, making it easy to find what you've stored in your warehouse.

We recommend introducing a system for your storage bays, for example using row numbers and bay numbers - this makes working with storage quick and easy.

'Storage' refers to the crates, pallets, containers and other types of storage units you use to store items for your customers. Once you've created a 'storage unit', you can link it to a customer, load it with items and charge for the storage.

Linking storage to a customer, loading items, charging costs

If you want to store something without it being part of a job, first click on a free storage unit. You then link a storage unit to a customer by clicking 'Load storage'. A wizard then guides you through the following steps:

  • Linking to a customer

  • Invoicing (period, based on volume, VAT, price, etc)

  • Loading items

Storage in combination with a job

Once you've set up storage, you can add storage as a service to a job. The surveyor can already arrange this at the quote stage.

As surveyor, you tick the 'storage' service during the survey. In the following steps, you indicate which items need to be stored.

The total number of cubic metres is calculated. You then indicate how the items should be stored. The storage is reserved, the costs are charged and, when scheduling the job, you add the 'load storage' appointment. This means everything is ready for the job.

Keeping storage up to date: with the app
