Warehouse map

The Warehouse map shows zones, racks and bins on a floor plan coloured by occupancy, and alongside it your vans with their current contents.

What you use this for

• Finding a part by name, reference, barcode or category.
• Seeing which zones are full or empty before you order.
• Viewing each van’s contents, including parts below their minimum.
• Seeing before day planning where the missing parts for upcoming interventions are.
• Reviewing reslotting suggestions and deciding yourself whether to apply them.

Who can use it

Role	What they do
Warehouse manager	Draws the zones and follows occupancy
Planner or dispatcher	Uses the service parts map during day planning
Technieker	Looks up where a part is

Prerequisites: a logged-in user with stock or field service access — the map is never public. You must attach your existing stock locations to visual zones once. Stock is never moved automatically.

The four views

Warehouse map

Zones and racks, coloured by occupancy.

A top-down floor plan, plus an isometric 3D view, of zones, racks and bins. The colour shows how full a place is:

Colour	Meaning
Grey	Empty
Green	Room to spare
Yellow	Almost full
Orange	Full
Red	Overloaded
Blue	Currently selected

Parts finder

Search by name, reference, barcode or category. You see every warehouse location and every van holding the part.

Van stock map

Every van with its current contents, the parts below their minimum and the tracking thresholds. This uses the same data as Van stock — the same truth, shown differently.

Service parts map

Upcoming interventions with their readiness and where the missing parts are.

The most interesting one for a planner: the upcoming interventions, their readiness verdict and where the missing parts are — before the technieker leaves.

Reslotting suggestions

The map can suggest moving parts: fast-moving items closer to the exit, rarely used ones towards the back.

A suggestion, nothing more

Reslotting is only a proposal. Nothing is moved. Only after you explicitly approve is an internal transfer prepared — as a draft, so you can still check it before it actually goes through.

Drawing your warehouse

1. Open the Warehouse map and go to the visual zone settings.

2. Create a zone per physical part of your warehouse.

3. Attach your existing stock locations to those zones.

4. Open the map and check that the plan matches reality.

Recommended approach

Draw five large zones first rather than two hundred bins. A coarse map that is correct is immediately usable; a detailed map that is wrong nobody uses twice.

Best practices

• Keep the map matching reality. If the layout in the warehouse changes, adjust the zones — otherwise nobody trusts the colours any more.
• Use the service parts map during day planning. That is where it saves the most money.
• Review reslotting suggestions quarterly, not weekly. A warehouse in permanent motion costs more than it returns.
• Let the colours drive your ordering policy: structural red means too little space, structural grey means too much stock.
• Count your vans. Stock in a van is stock.

Troubleshooting

Do I have to reorganise my warehouse to use this? No. You draw your existing locations; nothing changes physically.

Is stock moved without me? Never. Transfers are prepared as drafts and wait for your approval.

Who can open the map? Logged-in users with stock or field service access. The map is never public.

Does this work with multiple warehouses? Yes, and with multiple companies.

Is the 3D view a real 3D drawing? It is an isometric view: the same data, shown spatially. Fast, and it works on any device.
