Managing Warehouses in CODRocket

If your business operates from multiple storage locations, warehouses, or fulfillment centers, CODRocket's multi-warehouse feature helps you track inventory across all locations and optimize order fulfillment. This guide explains how to set up and manage warehouses effectively.

Why Multi-Warehouse Management Matters

For growing COD businesses, having inventory in multiple locations offers several advantages:

• Faster Delivery: Ship from the warehouse closest to the customer to reduce delivery times
• Regional Coverage: Serve different geographic areas efficiently without relying on a single central warehouse
• Risk Mitigation: Avoid business disruption if one location faces issues (power outage, flooding, etc.)
• Cost Optimization: Reduce shipping costs by fulfilling orders from nearby locations

Creating a Warehouse

1. Navigate to Inventory > Warehouses
2. Click "+ Add Warehouse"
3. Fill in the warehouse details:
   • Warehouse Name: A descriptive name (e.g., "Casablanca Central", "Marrakech Distribution Center")
   • Address: The physical address of the warehouse
   • City: The city where the warehouse is located
   • Contact Person: The warehouse manager or primary contact
   • Phone: Contact number for the warehouse
   • Is Primary: Mark one warehouse as your default/primary location
4. Click "Save Warehouse"

Assigning Inventory to Warehouses

Once warehouses are created, you can manage stock levels per location:

• Go to Inventory > Products and select a product
• In the "Stock by Location" section, you will see all warehouses with their current stock levels
• Update stock quantities for each warehouse individually
• The total stock displayed is the sum across all warehouses

Stock Transfers Between Warehouses

When you need to move inventory between locations:

1. Go to Inventory > Transfers
2. Click "+ New Transfer"
3. Select the source warehouse (where stock is coming from)
4. Select the destination warehouse (where stock is going to)
5. Add products and quantities to transfer
6. Submit the transfer request
7. When the physical transfer is complete, mark it as "Completed" in the system

Order Fulfillment from Multiple Warehouses

CODRocket can intelligently route orders to the optimal warehouse based on:

• Proximity: Fulfill from the warehouse closest to the customer's delivery address
• Stock Availability: Only route to warehouses that have the ordered products in stock
• Manual Override: You can always manually assign an order to a specific warehouse

Warehouse Reports

Monitor warehouse performance in the analytics section:

• Stock Value by Warehouse: See the total value of inventory at each location
• Transfer History: Track all stock movements between warehouses
• Fulfillment Rate: Measure how efficiently each warehouse processes orders
