Aisles & floors

Shelf and Rack Inventory Tracking

Every aisle stacks as many floors as your racking has levels. Step inside an aisle to see each floor and exactly what sits on it.

  • Multi-level racking modelled floor by floor
  • Step inside any aisle to see its contents per level
  • Split stock: some units on the shelf, the rest loose
  • Rename, resize and duplicate aisles in seconds

What is shelf-level inventory tracking?

Shelf-level tracking means your system knows not just that you own 40 boxes of gloves, but that 24 are on aisle B2 floor 3 and 16 are still on the receiving pallet. That precision is what turns a stock count into something a picker can actually act on.

Inventory Inventory models this the way racking really works. An aisle is a physical unit; its floors are the shelves inside it. You can assign only part of an item to a shelf and leave the remainder unassigned, which is exactly what happens when a delivery is half put away.

What you get

Floors, not vague zones

Each aisle carries its own floor count, so a 6-level rack addresses all six levels.

Partial placement

Put 20 of 50 units on a shelf; the other 30 stay visible as loose stock instead of disappearing.

Duplicate identical racking

Copy an aisle with its size, rotation and floor count to lay out a full row in seconds.

Rename without breaking links

Aisle names are labels; items and alerts reference IDs, so renaming never strands stock.

See what a shelf holds

Open any aisle to get a floor-by-floor list with quantities, ready for a spot count.

Move stock, keep history

Every move is logged in the activity trail with who did it and when.

The difference between "we have it" and "here it is"

Knowing you own the part saves an order. Knowing which shelf it is on saves the afternoon.

How it works

1

Set the floor count

Draw an aisle and tell it how many levels your rack has. Change it later at any time.

2

Assign items to a floor

Drag an item in, or open a floor and add stock directly. Assign all units or just some.

3

Scan and pick

Scanning an item shows its aisle and floor instantly, so anyone can pick it without asking.

Frequently asked questions

How do you track which shelf an item is on?

Assign it to an aisle and a floor. From then on, the item card and every barcode scan show the exact location, and the warehouse map highlights the aisle holding it. You can also filter your inventory list by warehouse or aisle to produce a picking list for one area.

What if the same product is stored in two places?

That is normal and supported: put part of the quantity on one shelf and leave the rest unassigned, or move portions between aisles as you go. The item keeps a single total so your stock number stays honest, while the placements tell you where those units physically are.

Do I have to place every item on a shelf?

No. Placement is entirely optional — plenty of businesses run purely on the item list and never draw a warehouse. Unplaced items simply sit in the unassigned tray, fully usable for scanning, alerts and reordering.

Can I count stock shelf by shelf?

Yes — open an aisle and you get a floor-by-floor list of everything on it with quantities, which is the natural way to run a cycle count. Adjust numbers as you go and each change lands in the activity log.
