WAMS Logistics: barcode warehouse add-on for Workcube ERP

Version 1.0 — Last updated:

How do you run warehouse work in Workcube with barcodes? WAMS Logistics is a Workcube ERP add-on that moves shipment checks, allocation-based picking, stock counts and warehouse transfers from paper to a barcode device. Every movement is written to Workcube's own stock and period records, so there is no separate warehouse system and no integration project.

WAMS Logistics is a Workcube ERP add-on from Turkey-based Gramoni that moves warehouse and floor work from paper to a barcode device. Shipment checks, allocation-based picking, stock counts and warehouse transfers are done on the floor, and every movement is written to the stock and period records of Workcube, a Turkish ERP platform. It is the warehouse part of Gramoni's WAMS (Workcube Advanced Manufacturing System) product family.

It has two parts: office screens that run inside Workcube, and a browser-installed app (PWA) on the warehouse operator's device.

What WAMS Logistics does

On the floor, on the device

  • Shipment checks: the operator checks shipment lines by scanning barcodes in order: EAN, shelf location, lot, quantity. Checked quantities and the shelf and lot split are written back to the shipment result in Workcube.
  • Allocation-based picking: the shelf location, lot and quantity the office plans for each shipment line reaches the operator as a work instruction. The quantity actually picked is written back with who picked it and when. Optionally, a Workcube stock transfer voucher is created for the picked quantity.
  • Stock counts: done from the device by shelf location, using the EAN or the lot alone. A submitted count lands in Workcube as a transfer document awaiting approval; stock only moves when an authorised user approves it.
  • Warehouse transfers: built on the device as a basket and turned into a single Workcube stock voucher. They also work offline: the transaction is queued and sent when the connection returns.
  • Authorisation and period: operators sign in with their own user. The accounting period and the locations they are authorised for are set at sign-in, and nothing posts to a closed period.

In Workcube, on office screens

  • Pallet management: list and update pallets by status, type, product and shelf location, and print pallet labels.
  • Bulk shipments: list, add and update screens.
  • Allocation planning: a shelf location, lot and quantity plan per shipment line. The office plan and the device's allocations never overwrite each other.
  • Parameters: behaviour such as EAN use, mandatory shelf or lot, and free quantity entry is set on a parameter screen. An admin screen controls which modules each device shows.

Scope

What it does

  • Barcode shipment checks (EAN, shelf location, lot, quantity)
  • Picking against shelf/lot/quantity allocations planned in the office
  • Stock counts from the device, arriving in Workcube for approval
  • Warehouse transfers, including offline
  • Pallet management and pallet labels
  • Writing every movement to Workcube's own stock and period records

What it does not do

  • Goods receipt, put-away and packing
  • Issuing delivery notes or invoices
  • Serial-number tracking (traceability is at lot level)
  • Correcting stock directly from a count
  • Carrier integration and route optimisation
  • Running without Workcube

Do we need a separate warehouse system?

No. WAMS Logistics keeps no stock master data of its own, by design. Movements go straight into Workcube's stock and period tables, so there is nothing to reconcile between two systems and no integration project. Stock cards, shelf definitions, delivery notes, invoices and accounting stay on Workcube's own screens.

The app installs from the browser and updates itself; there is no app-store version. The interface is available in Turkish and English.

Who it is for

The deciding factor is how the warehouse works, not the industry. WAMS Logistics is for Workcube users where:

  • shipment lines are checked against a paper list and errors surface later;
  • stock sits by shelf location and lot, and only one person knows which lot to pick from which shelf;
  • counts take days and are keyed from Excel into Workcube by hand;
  • transfers between warehouses happen without a voucher;
  • network coverage in the warehouse is patchy.

Typical settings are shipping and raw-material warehouses at manufacturers, distribution and wholesale warehouses, and spare-parts stores. The wider picture for logistics companies is on the logistics and distribution page.

Who it is not for

  • Companies that do not run Workcube. This is not a standalone product.
  • Companies looking for an end-to-end warehouse management system with goods receipt, put-away, packing, wave planning and carrier integration.
  • Operations where serial-number traceability is mandatory.
  • Companies that want to digitise the shop floor rather than the warehouse: production execution belongs to MES for Workcube and scheduling to WorkPlanner for Workcube. See manufacturing solutions for Workcube.

How it is priced

Three items: a perpetual system licence, setup and training, and an annual maintenance and update contract (LYKP). The licence covers one Workcube installation on one server, with no user or company limit inside it. An extra Workcube installation or an extra server is priced separately in the quote.

Not included: the Workcube ERP licence, barcode scanners and handheld hardware, warehouse network infrastructure, and configuration or data-migration work beyond the standard setup.

Barcode standards: where the scanned number comes from

Most barcodes scanned in a warehouse rest on GS1 standards. GS1 Türkiye, the Turkish member organisation of GS1, describes the GS1 system as a set of standards for uniquely identifying anything traded in the supply chain (products, production sites, warehouses, cases, transport units), collecting data from identified products, pallets and containers as they move, and sharing that data with trading partners. GS1 itself says its members number over a million organisations.

The number behind a product barcode is the GTIN (Global Trade Item Number). According to GS1 Türkiye, a GTIN combines the company prefix GS1 Türkiye assigns to the firm, a product number the firm chooses and a calculated check digit. GS1 has assigned the prefixes 868 and 869 to Türkiye. GS1 Türkiye notes that prefixes exist to stop numbers clashing worldwide, not to show origin: a barcode starting with 868 or 869 does not guarantee the product was made in Turkey.

Products sold at retail checkouts use the EAN or UPC symbology. GS1 says EAN/UPC barcodes are printed on virtually every consumer product in the world and are the most widely used GS1 barcodes. Variable data such as serial numbers or expiry dates needs the GS1-128 symbology (GS1 Türkiye). GS1-128 is used on cases, pallets and other logistics units and cannot be scanned at the point of sale; transport units are identified with an 18-digit SSCC (GS1 Türkiye).

A barcode is only worth as much as the ERP record it lands in. According to Eurostat, 46.45% of EU enterprises used ERP software in 2025, from 41.08% of small enterprises to 88.71% of large ones. WAMS Logistics scans the product's EAN barcode during shipment checks and writes the scanned line straight into Workcube's own shipment and stock records, with no second stock record in between.

Frequently asked questions

Is WAMS Logistics a warehouse management system (WMS)?

No. It is not a standalone warehouse management system; it is the warehouse and floor layer of Workcube. It keeps no stock master data of its own, and the record stays in Workcube's stock tables. It covers shipment checks, allocation-based picking, stock counts and transfers. Goods receipt, put-away, packing, wave planning, slotting and carrier integration are out of scope.

Does it handle goods receipt and put-away?

No. Goods receipt, put-away and packing are not part of the product. The paperwork side of goods receipt runs in Workcube's purchasing module.

Does a completed shipment check create the delivery note or invoice?

No. The device only updates the shipment result lines. Delivery notes (irsaliye) and invoices are issued on Workcube's own screens by an authorised user.

Our warehouse has Wi-Fi gaps. Will the devices still work?

Warehouse transfers work offline. Without a network the transaction is queued on the device and sent automatically when the connection returns. The product, barcode and stock list is cached on the device, so look-ups also work offline.

Can it track serial numbers?

Traceability is at lot level, not serial-number level. If you must trace by serial number, WAMS Logistics does not meet that need today.

How many user licences do we need?

None per user. The licence is per system, with no user or company limit within the same Workcube installation on the same server. Setup and training and an annual maintenance and update contract (LYKP) come on top. An extra installation or server is priced separately in the quote.
