Inventory Visibility

See What You Have and Where It Actually Is

Your WMS knows quantities. Sandhed shows you where that inventory physically sits on your floor plan, with zone-based counts and heatmaps that update as stock moves.

The Problem

Where Things Break Down

Your WMS has the numbers, but it cannot show you the physical reality. Stock counts say you have 400 units of SKU-1138, but where are they? Spread across three zones, partially picked, with 60 units sitting in a staging area that should have been shipped yesterday. The gap between what the system reports and what the floor actually looks like costs you time, accuracy, and fill rates.

WMS data does not show physical reality

Your system says stock is in zone B-14, but nobody verified the putaway. Pickers walk to a location, find it empty, and start searching. Each mislocated SKU costs 3-5 minutes of unproductive labor.
Up to 12% of picker time spent on failed picks

No spatial view of stock distribution

Inventory reports give you totals and location codes, but they cannot show you that 80% of your fast-movers are concentrated in two aisles while the rest of the warehouse is underutilized. Imbalances only become visible during walkdowns.
Congestion in high-density zones slowing throughput

Picking zone bottlenecks are invisible until they cause delays

When three pickers converge on the same zone, throughput drops. But your system only shows individual pick assignments, not the physical density of activity in each zone. You find out about congestion when orders start falling behind.
15-25% throughput loss in congested zones

Our Approach

What Sandhed Does Differently

Sandhed reads inventory data from your WMS through a polling integration and maps WMS locations to physical zones on your 3D floor plan. Stock levels appear as color-coded overlays on the actual warehouse layout. Zone heatmaps show which areas are heavily stocked and which are running thin. When inventory moves, the floor plan updates. Your WMS remains the system of record. Sandhed is a read-only visualization layer that makes the data spatial.

Stock Levels on Your Floor Plan

WMS inventory data mapped to physical zones on your 3D floor plan. See stock quantities as color-coded overlays on the actual warehouse layout, updating as inventory moves.

Zone Heatmaps

Visual density maps show which zones are heavily stocked and which are running low. Identify imbalances in stock distribution without walking the floor or pulling reports.

Read-Only WMS Integration

Sandhed polls your WMS at configurable intervals to pull inventory snapshots, movements, and location data. Your WMS remains the system of record. Sandhed reads from it and displays the data spatially.

Location-to-Floor-Plan Mapping

Map WMS location codes to physical features on your floor plan through a mapping table. Once configured, every WMS location has a corresponding spot on the 3D model where inventory data displays.

Common Questions

No. Sandhed is strictly read-only. It polls your WMS API to pull inventory snapshots, movements, and location data, then displays that information on your 3D floor plan. Your WMS remains the system of record for all inventory transactions. Sandhed never creates, modifies, or deletes WMS data.

The default polling interval is 5 minutes, which is configurable per data source. Each poll pulls a full inventory snapshot, inserts new movements into the time-series database, and updates the floor plan display. Movements between polls are captured on the next cycle.

Sandhed integrates with WMS systems that expose REST APIs for inventory and movement data. The integration uses a polling architecture that works with any WMS capable of returning inventory snapshots via HTTP. The platform normalizes vendor-specific data formats into a unified model.

A mapping table links each WMS location code (aisle, bin, zone) to a physical feature on your floor plan. Once mapped, inventory at that WMS location appears at the corresponding spot on the 3D model. The mapping is configured once during setup and updated whenever your layout changes.

Yes. Movements (receipts, picks, putaways, transfers) are stored in a time-series database. You can review movement history by location, SKU, or time period. Current inventory is shown on the floor plan while historical movements support trend analysis and zone activity reviews.
