Move received stock in two steps — scan the license plate, then scan the location. Put away straight to a bin or to staging, use vacancy reports to decide where pallets go, and trigger replenishment when pick faces run low.

The problem
Putaway without a system quietly costs you space, time, and accuracy. Here's what goes wrong — and how Teamship handles each one.
Without a scanned location, stock lands in the nearest open spot, and turns into lost, un-findable inventory.
Fast movers buried in the back mean pickers walk further on every order, all day, every day.
Half-empty locations no one can reuse quietly waste a big share of your cube.
Nobody can see which locations are free, so pallets pile up in the wrong places or block the aisle.
Two scans move stock and keep it findable — no directed-putaway complexity required.
Scan the license plate, scan the location: stock is moved and tracked in seconds, no forms or memory.
Move a whole pallet or carton as one scannable unit for fast, accurate storage.
Put stock away straight to a storage location, or drop it to a staging area first, driven by the inbound order.
See which locations are open so you can decide where incoming pallets should go.
Group locations into zones, pick, bulk, cold, hazmat, or by client, so stock is stored where it belongs and putaway stays organized.
Trigger top-ups from bulk to pick faces so fast movers stay stocked and picking never stalls.
Every scan updates location-level inventory instantly, so stock is always accurate and never lost.
Teamship's warehouse putaway process takes stock from received to a tracked location — in two simple scans.
As goods are received, they're assigned a license plate (LPN) so a pallet or carton moves as one scannable unit.
Put the stock away directly to a storage location, or drop it to a staging area first, based on the inbound order.
Scan the LPN on a handheld via barcode scanning to start the move.
Scan the destination and the stock is moved: two scans, and it's tracked to the exact location.
Small decisions at putaway compound into faster picking and better space use.
Putaway sits between receiving and picking. Get it right and everything downstream gets faster. It's one piece of Teamship's WMS for 3PLs, where accurate locations also feed automated 3PL billing and the full Teamship WMS.
Putaway is the process of moving received goods from the dock to their storage locations. Good putaway records exactly where each item is stored so it's easy to find, efficient to pick, and makes good use of space, rather than leaving stock wherever there's room.
Directed or guided putaway is when a WMS tells the operator exactly where to store each item based on rules like velocity and capacity. It's one approach to putaway; another is scan-based putaway, where the operator scans the item and the location to record the move.
Slotting is deciding where each SKU should live in the warehouse to optimize picking speed and space use, for example, placing fast-moving items near packing. Vacancy reports help teams find open locations to slot incoming stock.
Teamship uses a simple two-step process: scan the license plate, then scan the location. You can put stock away directly to a storage location or to a staging area, use vacancy reports to decide where pallets go, and trigger replenishment to keep pick faces stocked, all scan-confirmed on a handheld.
Yes. Teamship lets you group warehouse locations into zones, such as pick, bulk, cold storage, hazmat, or per-client areas, so stock is stored where it belongs and putaway stays organized across the facility.
