Inventory Visibility for Warehousing
See stock levels on your warehouse floor plan. Zone heatmaps show where inventory concentrates, where gaps are forming, and where pickers are most active.
The Problem
Where Things Break Down
Pick locations go empty between cycle counts
Cycle counts happen weekly or monthly. Between counts, location accuracy degrades. Pickers waste time walking to empty slots because the WMS still shows stock there.
Receiving and putaway create temporary blind spots
Pallets arrive at the dock and sit in staging before putaway. During that window, the inventory exists physically but is not yet visible in any system. Urgent orders for those SKUs show as out-of-stock.
Zone congestion is invisible in spreadsheet reports
Three pickers assigned to the same zone at the same time create aisle congestion. Your WMS assigns picks by location, not by physical proximity. The slowdown only shows up in missed SLAs.
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.

Real-Time Asset Tracking
Most factories lose hours every week searching for tools, parts, and mobile equipment. Sandhed connects to your existing RTLS tags and shows every tracked asset on your 3D floor plan in real time.
View SolutionDock Door Management
Most warehouses manage dock doors by walking over and looking. Sandhed puts every dock door status on your 3D floor plan with real-time sensor data, so you know which bays are open, occupied, or idle from anywhere.
