Automotive & Aviation WMS
Warehouse management for just-in-time and just-in-sequence operations
PowerHouse WMS
Automotive and Aviation Warehouse Management Systems
Built for just-in-time (JIT) and just-in-sequence (JIS) supply chains
An automotive warehouse management system needs to support inventory management that is directly tied to production. Parts must arrive at the right location, in the correct order, at the exact moment they are needed. Delays, mis-sequencing, or lack of visibility can disrupt production schedules and create costly downstream inefficiencies.
PowerHouse WMS is designed to support automotive warehouse management and time-sensitive operations with real-time visibility, multi-layer serialized tracking, and system-directed workflows. From inbound receiving through staging and line-side delivery, inventory is managed with accuracy and control, ensuring alignment between warehouse execution and production demand.

• Real-time inventory and container tracking
Track the location and status of parts, pallets, and containers from receiving through line-side delivery
• EDI and ASN integration
Enable communication between warehouses, suppliers, and production environments to accelerate receiving, support sequencing, and reduce manual processing
• Kitting and sub-assembly management
Support dynamic kitting, work-in-progress inventory, and on-the-fly kit creation based on production needs
• Cross-docking and flow-through processing
Move high-priority inventory directly from receiving to outbound staging without unnecessary storage
• Customer portals and inventory reporting
Provide secure, web-based access to inventory data, status updates, and configurable reports
PowerHouse WMS brings these capabilities together in a single system, giving operations the visibility and control needed to manage inventory in motion, reduce errors, and keep production running on schedule.
Just-in-Sequence Inventory Execution
Delivering the Right Parts in the Right Order, at the Right Time
PowerHouse WMS is built to support automotive warehousing with just-in-sequence (JIS) operations, managing inventory in the precise sequence required by production. Containers, bins, and parts are tracked and directed in real time with multi-layer serialized tracking, ensuring materials arrive in order and at the right moment.
Inventory can be picked in reverse sequence, staged to match production schedules, and continuously tracked as it moves toward the line. This level of control reduces errors, minimizes delays, and keeps production running without interruption.
PowerHouse WMS enables automotive and aviation operations to move beyond basic inventory management and operate with confidence and precision.
