Rack & Location Management
Aisle, rack and bin tracking that tells you exactly where every coil sits.
Define warehouse aisles, racks, and bins. Track exactly which items are stored where and know the precise location of any coil or bundle at any time, improving pick accuracy and space utilization.
How Rack & Location actually works.
A 50,000 square foot warehouse with 200 racks is a maze. Pipetal’s rack and location management turns it into a grid, every coil tagged to a specific rack, every transfer tracked.
When the dispatch supervisor needs to ship 8 tons of 1-inch GP pipe, the system tells him exactly which racks to pick from. No more wandering, no more picking from the wrong batch.

Where Rack & Location sits in the inventory flow.
A Lahore warehouse cuts pick time per truck from 45 minutes to 12.
Before Pipetal, dispatching a 25-ton truckload meant the supervisor walked the warehouse with a paper challan and a torch. With rack-level location tracking, the system prints the pick list with exact rack numbers. Pick time dropped from 45 minutes per truck to 12 minutes. On 30 trucks a day, that is 16 hours of operational saving.
What buyers usually ask.
