Stark Consultancy
FC-level, multi-brand

One warehouse control tower for every brand you fulfill.

Inbound, Outbound, Cycle Count, and Returns — tracked at the FC level, across every brand and every order type you run through it, whether that's bulk B2B, single-unit B2C, or your own D2C storefront.

What's included

Every department, one FC-level view

Built for a warehouse running more than one brand — where Inbound, Outbound, Cycle Count, and Returns each need their own depth, but leadership still needs one number per FC.

Inbound visibility

ASN, GRN, and QC tracked from truck arrival to putaway — with every discrepancy flagged the moment it lands, not at month-end audit.

Outbound SLA

Allocation, pick, pack, manifest, and dispatch tracked stage by stage, so a late order is caught at the stage that's actually slow.

Cycle count & accuracy

ABC-XYZ-driven count scheduling and a live variance ledger — inventory accuracy tracked as a number, not a quarterly surprise.

Returns & reverse logistics

Every returned unit graded — restock, refurbish, liquidate, or scrap — with recovered value tracked against the write-off.

Multi-brand FC rollup

One FC running four brands looks like four different operations on paper. This rolls them into one view without losing brand-level detail.

B2C, B2B, and D2C in one place

Bulk B2B dispatches, single-unit B2C orders, and D2C storefront fulfillment tracked side by side — not in three disconnected systems.

Possible automations

Automations for FC-level ops

A sample of what gets automated across a multi-brand FC — scoped to your departments, your brand count, and your order mix.

ASN vs GRN mismatches flagged the moment goods arrive
Cycle counts auto-scheduled by risk, not a flat calendar
Every return auto-graded — restock, refurbish, liquidate, or scrap
Labor reallocation alert when a process is short-staffed
Daily FC ops digest, split by brand
Outbound SLA breach traced to the exact stage that caused it

What actually changes

Where this moves your numbers

Not features for the sake of features — here's exactly what each one fixes for a multi-brand FC.

Every mismatch flagged the moment goods hit the dock — not 30 days later.

Instead of: ASN vs GRN mismatches surface at month-end audit, if at all.

ABC-XYZ-driven cycle counts run continuously, with a live variance ledger.

Instead of: Inventory accuracy is a quarterly surprise from a full physical count.

Every SLA breach traced to the exact stage — pick, pack, or dispatch — that caused it.

Instead of: A late outbound order gets blamed on 'the warehouse' with no idea which stage actually slowed it down.

Every return auto-graded — restock, refurbish, liquidate, or scrap — with recovered value tracked.

Instead of: Returned stock sits untracked until someone decides what to do with it.

One FC-level view, with brand-level detail still intact underneath.

Instead of: One FC running four brands looks like four separate operations on paper.

A custom email or WhatsApp alert fires the moment a process runs short-staffed, to whoever owns that call.

Instead of: Labor shortages get noticed only after a process backs up visibly, and the alert (if any) is a phone call.
