At Crescent Cold Storage, we use a warehouse management and ERP system to manage inventory, warehouse activity, and billing across our facility.
Our operation requires more than basic inventory tracking. Products are handled by lot, pallet, weight, and customer, and inventory must remain accurate as it moves through receiving, storage, picking, and shipping.
All inventory is tracked by lot number from receipt through shipment. Each pallet is labeled and tracked individually, including its contents, weight, and location within the warehouse. This allows our team to know exactly what is on hand, where it is stored, and how it moves through the facility.
Inventory is also tracked by customer, ensuring product remains separated and identifiable in a multi-customer cold storage environment.
Many of the products we handle do not have fixed weights.
We track actual weight at receiving and carry that weight through picking, shipping, and billing. This ensures that inventory, pricing, and invoices are based on real product weight, not estimates.
Weights can be captured during receiving and picking using scan guns, reducing manual entry and improving accuracy.
Warehouse activity is managed in real time.
Receiving, pallet moves, picking, and shipping are all tracked as they happen. Pallet labels are printed at receiving and throughout the warehouse, showing key details such as item, lot, weight, and customer.
This allows our team to operate efficiently while maintaining accurate records of inventory movement.
All product movement is traceable from receipt through shipment.
Each lot is tied to pallets, receipts, and outbound orders, allowing us to quickly identify where product came from and where it was shipped.
This supports food safety requirements, audit readiness, and customer-specific traceability.
Billing is generated based on actual warehouse activity.
Storage, handling, receipts, picks, and shipments are tracked within the system and used to generate charges automatically.
This reduces manual work and ensures billing accurately reflects what occurred in the warehouse.
Customers can pay invoices online using a credit or debit card.
Payments are processed through the same system used to manage warehouse activity, allowing invoices to be paid directly without separate tools or manual coordination.
Payment information is handled securely using tokenization and follows PCI compliance guidelines. Sensitive card data is not stored within the system.
This functionality is provided as part of the platform developed by Inspired Technology Systems.
Our cold storage warehouse software is part of a broader platform that combines warehouse management and ERP functionality.
It allows us to maintain accurate inventory, support traceability, and manage warehouse operations efficiently across our facility.

Each day begins with receiving inbound product, where pallets are labeled, weighed, and assigned to specific locations within the warehouse.
Inventory is then stored and managed by location, allowing our team to quickly identify where product is stored and retrieve it when needed.
As orders are received, warehouse users pick product directly from pallets, verifying lot, weight, and customer requirements during the process.
All activity is recorded in real time, ensuring inventory remains accurate throughout the day as product moves through the facility.
Our facility supports multiple customers within the same warehouse.
Each customer’s inventory is tracked separately, while still allowing efficient use of shared space.
This ensures product remains identifiable, traceable, and billable to the correct customer without requiring separate systems or manual tracking.
Customers do not operate within the system directly, but they can be provided visibility into their inventory and activity.
This includes what has been received, what is currently in storage, and what has shipped.
Providing this visibility reduces manual communication and allows customers to stay informed without needing to contact the warehouse.
