When manual storage areas become a driver of efficiency

KASTOlogic mobile digitises manual storage processes directly where the work is carried out. Transactions are recorded at the storage location, material movements are documented in real time, and employees are guided safely through each process. This transforms an unstructured storage area into a transparent, manageable material flow.

The solution adapts to your storage structure: KASTOlogic mobile can be used both as a standalone solution for manual storage areas and to connect additional manual areas to an existing KASTO automated storage system. This creates transparency across all relevant material stocks – from manual shelving to an integrated storage environment.

Whether established shelving and floor storage areas, remnant stock areas, tool storage or additional zones outside the automation system: KASTOlogic mobile creates clear workflows, traceable stock levels and a digital storage logic that provides noticeable day-to-day relief.

Three reasons to choose KASTOlogic mobile

 

Find material faster

Less time spent searching, clearly labelled storage locations and up-to-date stock information ensure that material is found exactly where it is needed. This turns established storage structures into a reliable and transparent material flow.

Keep stock levels visible in real time

All relevant data is captured directly on the mobile device and, if desired, transferred to an ERP system or KASTOlogic. This creates real-time transparency across stock levels, movements and material status, without the need for subsequent entries or gaps in information.

Icon for implementation and commissioning in the project workflow

Execute processes reliably

Putaway, order picking, dispatch, stocktaking and quality control are all carried out via mobile devices and guided workflows. This reduces errors, increases process reliability and makes it easier to train new employees.

Frequently asked questions about KASTOlogic mobile

 

Imagine a warehouse employee no longer having to search for material – but being guided straight to it.

That is exactly what KASTOlogic mobile makes possible: this mobile warehouse management software digitises manual processes and brings all relevant information directly to the device – whether a smartphone, tablet or handheld.

Instead of paper lists, shouted instructions or repeated questions, it creates a clearly guided digital workflow. The result: less time spent searching, fewer errors and a warehouse that finally becomes transparent and manageable.

Many companies are familiar with this situation:

  • Material is "somewhere in the warehouse"
  • Stock figures are not exact
  • Employees lose time searching or asking questions

KASTOlogic mobile addresses exactly these issues. Through mobile data capture and clearly guided processes, material movements are documented in real time – directly at the point where they happen.

In concrete terms, this means:

  • no more incorrect bookings caused by system breaks
  • less material stored in the wrong place
  • full transparency over stock levels and material movements

A warehouse that used to be reactive becomes predictable and efficient.

Companies in which manual processes have become a bottleneck benefit in particular:

  • Mechanical engineering and metalworking
  • Steel trade and service centres
  • Production-related warehouses with a high variety of items

Typical triggers are increasing search times, skills shortages or rising throughput.

In short: as soon as the warehouse takes up more time than it should, KASTOlogic mobile becomes a genuine productivity lever.

With KASTOlogic mobile, everything happens exactly where the employee is located: directly at the material.

Warehouse employees scan barcodes or QR codes and record movements directly in the system. The data is transferred in real time to the KASTOlogic warehouse management system.

This ensures:

  • complete traceability
  • immediately up-to-date stock levels
  • no delays caused by subsequent bookings

This turns the warehouse from a "black box process" into a transparent, data-driven system.

It is also ideal for training new warehouse employees: the software guides them through each process step by step. Complex workflows become clear digital instructions. This is a decisive advantage, especially in times of skills shortages.

KASTOlogic mobile fully supports the key warehouse processes on a mobile basis:

  • Putaway
  • Order picking
  • Dispatch processing
  • Stocktaking and stock enquiries
  • Quality checks

Each step is system-guided and standardised.

This not only reduces errors – it also makes processes immediately understandable and safe to carry out, even for new employees.

Barcode and QR code scanning enable reliable identification of materials, storage locations and orders.

In combination with mobile label printers, this creates a continuous digital material flow:

  • Print labels directly at the storage location
  • Immediate labelling without detours
  • Fewer errors thanks to clear identification

The result: greater process reliability and significantly faster workflows.

The short answer: yes – and often sooner than expected.

Companies benefit above all from:

  • reduced search and travel times
  • fewer incorrect bookings and less rework
  • faster order picking
  • greater stock accuracy

Above all, however, it creates something that is difficult to measure – but crucial: a stable, scalable warehouse process that can grow with the company.
