Warehouse management system (WMS)
The difference between “we have 40 cartons” and “we have 40 cartons in aisle B, rack 3” is the difference between a balance and a managed warehouse.
What the system covers
- Receiving — matching what arrived against the purchase order and recording shortfalls and damage at the door, not a week later.
- Bin locations — every item has a defined location, so searching ends and picking speeds up.
- Issues and transfers — between warehouses and branches, on documents logged against who requested and who handed over.
- Stock-counts — periodic or cycle counts with item-by-item variances, instead of an annual count that shuts the warehouse.
- Reorder points — warning before depletion, not after.
- Dead and slow-moving stock — a report exposing the cash frozen on the racks.
Where capture usually fails — and how it is solved
A storekeeper does not sit at a screen. So in Fahim goods are received by sending a photo of the delivery note or an Arabic voice message, and quantities are recorded and locations updated. This is the point at which most warehouse systems fail — not at reporting.
And because the warehouse sits inside a full ERP, receiving updates purchasing and accounting, and issuing updates cost — with no monthly reconciliation between two systems.

Frequently asked questions
Does it support multiple warehouses?
Yes, with documented transfers between them and a balance per warehouse alongside the overall balance.
Is a barcode scanner required?
Not to start. A scanner speeds up receiving and counting, but you can work from manual codes or photos of delivery notes and expand later.
How do we count stock without stopping work?
With cycle counting: you count a group of items or one aisle at a time and clear its variances, keeping the warehouse accurate without an annual shutdown.
