The warehousing & 3pl stack

Six instruments, calibrated.

UK warehouses + 3PL — Mintsoft, Linnworks, ShipStation — multi-client SKU management, pick path optimisation, billing-per-action. The pick, the pack, the ship and the invoice on one record.

01 · Multi-client SKU mgmt

Mintsoft, Linnworks-grade, owner-readable.

Per-client SKU master, lot and serial tracking, expiry, per-bin allocation. Mintsoft, Linnworks, or custom — clients see their stock, you see the warehouse.

  • Mintsoft / Linnworks
  • Per-client SKU + bin map
  • Lot, serial, expiry capture
  • Stock-take & cycle-count
02 · Pick path optimisation

Wave, batch, zone — the route written before the trolley moves.

Pick paths sequenced by bin location, order priority, and picker skill. Walk-time falls, pick rate rises, the 'where is bin 14C' chatter ends.

  • Wave & batch picking
  • Zone-based routing
  • Per-picker skill weighting
  • Live trolley dashboard
03 · Billing per action

Receive, pick, pack, ship — priced per touch.

Every touch — goods-in, putaway, pick, pack, ship, return — logged and priced per the client contract. Invoices generated from the activity log, not the back-of-envelope.

  • Per-action activity log
  • Per-client rate cards
  • Auto-generated invoices
  • Xero / QuickBooks sync
04 · Damaged / missing

Damage at receipt, missing at pick — flagged, paid.

Damage logged at goods-in with photo, missing items flagged at pick, supplier and client notified — paperwork pre-filled. The dispute closes before it becomes a credit note.

  • Per-pick variance log
  • Auto-supplier / client notification
  • Dispute-resolution exports
05 · Client portal

Stock, orders, invoices, KPIs — one login.

Clients log in, see live stock, orders in flight, billing-to-date, and KPI history — branded and yours. Status emails stop landing in the ops inbox.

  • Billing & KPI dashboard
  • Branded client portal

Sample engagement

The twenty-two-staff 3PL where mis-picks fell to one in a thousand.

Twenty-two staff. Six clients. Pick rate flat, mis-picks at 0.8%, billing on a Friday spreadsheet.

A twenty-two-staff 3PL ran six clients on Mintsoft for SKUs and an Excel for billing — pick rate flat, mis-picks at 0.8%, the warehouse manager doing Friday-night activity reconciliation by hand. Three-week build: pick-path optimisation tied to bin layout, per-action billing log, branded client portal. Six months in: pick rate up thirty-eight percent, mis-pick rate 0.8% to 0.1%, four hours a week of activity reconciliation eliminated.

How we measure: Pick rate measured as units picked / picker-hour, weekly rolling; mis-pick rate as customer-reported wrong-SKU / total picks, monthly rolling, both vs 12-week baseline; reconciliation time tracked via screen-time logger over a baseline fortnight vs a post-launch fortnight.
