Warehouse Orchestration System (WOS)

The orchestration layer that runs your warehouse floor in real time.

Your WMS plans the work. Stackbox decides how it actually gets done, moment to moment, so you move more with the team and equipment you already have.

You keep tuning the WMS, and the floor still stalls.

A WMS plans a few things well, each in isolation — inventory here, picking there. It was never built to run the whole floor as one live operation.

Your WMS / ERP — SAP EWM, Blue Yonder, Manhattan, Softeon, Infios. Orders, inventory, master data.

Your WCS / FMS — drives one machine, or one fleet, very well. Blind to the rest.

Your analytics — reports what already happened, after the shift has closed.

Your supervisors — everything in between, by radio, shift after shift.

Nothing owns the decision that spans all four, in the moment.

Already automated? The gap just moves upstream.

If you've invested in AMRs, conveyors, or a mechanized floor, the coordination problem doesn't disappear — it gets harder. More moving parts, more ways to fall out of sync.

Automation runs fast, but only as well as the decisions feeding it. Idle robots and starved stations are a coordination problem, not a hardware one.

Each system optimizes its own slice; nothing owns the whole floor.

That's where throughput sits below the capacity you already paid for.

Stackbox is the layer that runs the floor your WMS only plans.

The right task, to the right person, right now — assigned against live conditions, not a plan frozen at shift start.

Docks and labor that rebalance themselves — the floor reorganizes to hold service before a supervisor has to notice.

Consistency that doesn't call in sick — your best supervisor's judgment runs every shift, in or out.

Keep the WMS you already run. Stackbox sits on top of SAP, Manhattan, or Blue Yonder — or runs on ours. Either way, nothing gets ripped out.

Every warehouse is on the same journey. Orchestration runs across all of it.

Every piece of automation you add multiplies the live decisions your floor has to make. Hardware keeps getting better on its own - but without a layer coordinating it, you keep paying more per unit for throughput that never catches up to what you bought.

Winning against SAP — and why you may not have heard of us yet.

We're launching in the US after years of proving this at global scale. The credibility is in the operations, not a Magic Quadrant spot.

Winning against SAP

In competitive enterprise evaluations, operators have chosen Stackbox over SAP and run on it today.

Warehouse orchestration: your questions, answered.

What is a warehouse orchestration platform?+
It's the software layer between your WMS and your warehouse floor. The WMS plans and records; the orchestration platform makes the live execution decisions — task assignment, dock allocation, labor movement — in real time, across people, equipment, and any automation you run.
How is orchestration different from my WMS or a WES?+
A WMS manages inventory and plans work in isolation. A WES controls individual machines. Orchestration sits above both, coordinating the whole floor as one system and adapting the plan as conditions change through the shift.
Is this a multi-agent orchestration system?+
Yes. Stackbox coordinates every “agent” on the floor — people, mechanized equipment, and automation from any vendor — under one decision logic, rather than optimizing each in isolation.
Do I have to replace my WMS?+
No. Keep your SAP, Manhattan, or Blue Yonder — Stackbox runs on top. Or run ours. Your choice, no rip-and-replace.
Which hardware and automation does it work with?+
It's vendor-agnostic. Stackbox coordinates mixed fleets and equipment across OEMs, so people, mechanized MHE, and automation all run under one logic.
How long does implementation take, and how do I know it will work?+
Before any commitment, the free two-week simulation shows you the actual numbers on your own data. If those hold up, implementation runs 12 to 16 weeks from contract to live, phased so each stage delivers a measurable gain before the next begins — and we own the outcome we predicted.
How does the free two-week simulation work?+
You share historical operating data. We rebuild your floor as a simulation and return specific throughput and labor findings within two weeks — before any implementation decision, at no cost.
