IP6 WMS · Warehouse management
WMS with real-time traceability for demanding warehouses
If you run operations, you can't afford stock errors or obsolescence. IP6 WMS cuts management hours by 20% to 40% and keeps inventory reliability above 99% — with batches, quarantines and GMP built in for those who need them, and the same level of control for any high-turnover warehouse.
Pharma, automotive, distribution and consumer goods warehouses managed with IP6 WMS

Benefits
What your operation gains, not what the software does
Up to 40% fewer management hours
Guided order picking, automatic replenishment and less admin work for your warehouse team.
Audits without surprises
Full traceability of product, operations and resources, ready for GMP —and FDA when your operation requires it. Every batch tells its story from start to finish.
The real screen, not a mock-up
Built to be used standing up, with gloves on, and no time to lose
IP6 WMS runs on tablets and RF terminals designed for the operator on the warehouse floor, not from an office: receiving, put-away, guided picking and shipping are all logged in real time, with no paper involved.
The same screen that guides an order's preparation is the one that later reconstructs, movement by movement, a batch's traceability for an audit.
Differentiation
Why IP6 WMS instead of a generalist WMS?
A WMS born from storage hardware was never designed from day one for batches, quarantines and GMP environments.
Built for full traceability
- Native batches, expiry dates, quarantines and quality statuses
- Traceability designed for GMP audits, and valid for FDA too
Frictionless integration
- Proven interface with SAP, Navision and Oracle
- Automated warehouses, AMRs and RF terminals integrated
Grows with you
- One module at a time: from the warehouse to production and quality
- Pay-per-use option, with no upfront investment
- Also available as IP6 WMS Cloud: low-risk installation, no infrastructure investment

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about IP6 WMS
Does the WMS integrate with any ERP?
Yes. The system can integrate with any ERP on the market through interfaces, APIs or web services.
ERP integration is essential to keep the whole logistics operation in sync and guarantee information traceability. For example, the system can manage:
- Receipts against orders registered in the ERP
- Order-picking confirmations
- Real-time stock updates
- Warehouse movements
- Shipments and consumption
This keeps processes aligned between the warehouse and corporate systems.
Can the WMS integrate with plant equipment and hardware?
Yes. The system integrates with a range of devices and technologies found on the plant and warehouse floor. For example:
- Radio-frequency terminals
- Pick to Light
- Industrial mobile devices
- Line terminals
- Barcode scanners
- Automated logistics hardware
The WMS adapts to both manual warehouses and highly automated environments.
Can the system manage automated warehouses?
Yes. The system is built to manage warehouses with different levels of automation. It can integrate with automated hardware and systems to optimise:
- Stock movements
- Picking
- Replenishment
- Receiving
- Shipping
- Logistics traceability
This supports the full digitalisation of warehouse operations.
Is the WMS built for regulated environments and validation?
Yes. The system includes functionality aimed at regulated sectors and validated processes.
We also provide a standard documentation package called the “Prevalidation Package”, designed to speed up system validation processes.
This package supplies the documentation needed for projects in sectors with regulatory and compliance requirements.
What level of traceability does the warehouse management system offer?
The system provides full traceability of every logistics operation carried out in the warehouse. You can record and look up:
- Material movements
- The operators responsible
- Locations
- Batches
- Dates and times
- Stock statuses
- Order picking
- Receipts and shipments
All information is logged digitally to guarantee operational control and support later audits.
Can the WMS be used in regulated sectors?
Yes. The system is built for sectors with high control and traceability requirements. For example:
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Life Sciences
- Food
- Cosmetics
- Chemicals
- Regulated manufacturing
The system helps guarantee the documentary and operational compliance required in these environments.
Can the system be deployed in the cloud or as pay-per-use?
Yes. We offer different deployment and licensing models.
In the traditional model, the customer acquires:
- Licences
- An implementation project
- Associated services
- Maintenance
In this case, the upfront investment is handled as a CAPEX model.
We also offer a SaaS or pay-per-use model, where there's no large upfront investment: you pay a monthly fee and maintenance and support are included. This reduces initial costs and makes it easier to adopt the system.
How long does a WMS implementation take?
Implementation time depends on the project's scope and the level of integration required. As a rough guide, a standard project is usually implemented in 3 to 6 months.
Timelines can vary depending on:
- ERP integrations
- Hardware integrations
- Level of automation
- Operational complexity
- Regulatory requirements
- Number of warehouses or sites
Every project is adapted to the customer's specific needs.
