Mobile Receiving & Stocking

From the receiving dashboard to check-in to stocking — your warehouse team runs the entire process from a phone or tablet, right on the floor.

Receiving Dashboard

At-a-glance stats for scheduled, arrived, in-progress, and completed POs. Bar charts and doughnut charts show daily progress and issue breakdowns. Filter by today, this week, or this month.

Smart Color-Coded Check-In

Green for matches, yellow for shortages, red for overages. Auto-saves as you go — come back later if interrupted, nothing is lost. Report issues with photos while the driver is still there.

Mark Arrived at the Dock

When a delivery shows up, tap "Mark Arrived" right from your phone. The board updates instantly so your team and office staff know what's on the dock without a phone call.

Mobile Stocking

After check-in, the stocking workflow picks up on mobile too. See what's ready to stock, start stocking, and track progress — all from a phone or tablet in the warehouse.

No Training Manual Needed

The interface is so intuitive that warehouse staff can start using it immediately. Color coding makes errors obvious, and the workflow matches how operators naturally think about receiving and stocking.

  • Expiration date tracking for perishables
  • Camera integration for delivery paperwork and issue photos
  • Add unlisted products on the fly
  • Smart search by PO number, vendor, or address
  • Late PO tracking with days-overdue alerts
  • Complete & notify AP/Purchasing instantly

Stocking Pipeline

Receiving is only half the job. Once a PO is checked in, the stocking pipeline tracks it through to the shelf — so nothing sits on the dock forgotten.

Ready to Stock

Checked-in POs automatically queue for stocking. Warehouse team sees exactly what needs to be shelved.

Stocking In Progress

Progress bars show received vs. stocked counts in real time. See who's working on what for accountability.

Stocked & Complete

Product is on the shelf and inventory is updated. The full lifecycle — from expected delivery to stocked — is complete.

Same Board, Full Pipeline

The stocking columns are built right into the Receiving & Stocking Board shown above — columns 6, 7, and 8. Your team sees the entire lifecycle in one view, from overdue deliveries all the way through to product on the shelf.

No switching screens. No separate system. One board tracks it all.

Optional Large Format Kiosk Display

Put the receiving board on a warehouse monitor so the entire team can see what's arriving, what's being worked on, and what's done — without touching a computer.

  • Full-screen, non-interactive — designed for readability at a distance
  • Auto-scaling text for HD, Full HD, and 4K displays
  • Configurable color scheme and your company logo branding
  • Shows who last worked on each PO for team accountability

The Game Changer: Instant Visibility for AP & Purchasing

Turn a multi-hour (or multi-day) process into minutes

For Accounts Payable

  • Process invoices same day — capture early payment discounts and improve vendor relationships
  • Catch discrepancies before paying — see exactly what was received vs. what's on the invoice
  • No more chasing paperwork — everything is digital and organized, no calling the warehouse

For Purchasing

  • Address shortages immediately — reorder same day instead of discovering problems days later
  • Handle issues while the driver is still there — photo documentation for fair resolution
  • Complete audit trail — every action timestamped and user-attributed for accountability

Works Standalone or With Your Existing ERP

You don't need to replace anything to get started

Add-On Module

Already have an ERP or VMS? Use MDS Insight's PO Receiving & Stocking as a standalone module. You get the receiving boards, mobile check-in, optional large format kiosk display, and smart notifications — all without touching your existing accounting or inventory system. Many operators use Insight modules to fill gaps where their primary system falls short.

Complete Platform

Use MDS Insight as your full business management platform and PO Receiving & Stocking integrates seamlessly with inventory, purchasing, and accounts payable. Warehouse bin locations, product inventory records, and stocking actions all update your live inventory automatically.

Measurable Benefits

Real efficiency gains that impact your bottom line

Save Hours Every Week

Eliminate the back-and-forth between warehouse and office. Staff stays in the warehouse doing their job, not delivering paperwork.

Capture Early Payment Discounts

Many vendors offer 1-2% discounts for payment within 10 days. Process invoices faster and savings add up quickly.

Reduce Payment Errors

Stop paying for products you didn't receive. Discrepancies are caught immediately, not weeks later.

Full Warehouse Visibility

Between the boards, kiosk display, and notifications — everyone knows what's happening without asking. No meetings, no phone tag.

Team Accountability

Every action is timestamped and user-attributed. See who worked on what, when they started, and when they finished.

Better Inventory Accuracy

Expiration date tracking, quantity verification, warehouse bin location management, and stocking confirmation keep your inventory data reliable.
