Receiving · dock & checkpoint

Automated QR and barcode scanning at your dock doors — and every inventory checkpoint that matters.

The problem

At the loading dock, your record is only what someone managed to hand-scan.

Counts are entered by hand or handheld, item by item, so the record is only as complete as that pass, with no image behind it to check against later. When the question comes weeks later, the answer is memory.

What it is

A camera at the dock that reads every label and keeps the image.

See it

A camera at the dock reads every label as material crosses, scanner-read or not, and shows you the floor in real time.

Prove it

Each read is paired with its photo and the exact time. The record is tamper-evident and built into the receive itself.

Find it

Search the archive by PO, SKU, door, or time and pull the picture in seconds. The record is single-tenant, and yours.

The record

A record you can stand behind: timestamped, searchable, and yours.

The pains it solves

Built into the receive, not a binder you rebuild afterward.

Compliance & audit trail

When the chargeback letter or the customer audit lands, Flowtally hands you a tamper-proof, timestamped, image-backed record of every item that crossed your dock, with label compliance checked on every read. Evidence built into the receive itself, not a binder you rebuild afterward.

Disputes settle with data, not memory.

WMS accuracy

Flowtally runs parallel to your existing scanning workflow (fails open, changes nothing about how your team works) and shows you where the floor and the system disagree. Every item that crosses the dock is recorded, scanner-read or not, so your planner schedules against truth instead of hope.

Don't replace your scanners. Enhance them.

Visibility & vindication

Your doors never stop moving, and most of what crosses them is seen once, by one person, in passing. Flowtally keeps watch at every covered door and checkpoint: every item, timestamped, with its picture. When the question comes, you answer with the record.

See what's coming through your doors. Defend your floor.

Root-cause

When a line stoppage traces back to inbound material, Flowtally gives you the upstream evidence: what arrived, when it arrived, what the label said, and the picture to prove it. Root-cause analysis starts with a record instead of a hunt.

If it crossed your dock, there's a record.

Scale

When growth adds doors, suppliers, and SKUs faster than the team can hand-scan, Flowtally's fixed cameras keep recording every item that crosses a covered checkpoint, captured with its picture. Coverage scales by adding a camera, not a headcount requisition.

Scale the dock without scaling the headcount.

Onboarding & turnover

Dock accuracy usually rides on who's working and how well they were trained. Flowtally captures every item the same way on every shift, so a new hire, a temp, or a holiday surge never becomes a gap in your record.

Consistent receiving, whoever's on shift.

Who it's for

For the teams that answer for what arrives.

3PLs

Graded on Perfect Order rate. A dock error is a penalty, and a customer relationship. Flowtally gives you the record to defend every door.

Plant managers

Mislabeled or misplaced material stops the line. Flowtally ensures label compliance and gives you hard upstream evidence: what arrived, when, and the picture.

Why now

The hardware finally caught up to the floor.

Commodity cameras and on-device processing now do what used to take specialized industrial scanners and a heavy integration project. Coverage that once meant a major capital build is far more attainable, fast to stand up and ready to cover your floor from day one.

The pilot

Prove it on your own doors.

A pilot demo puts Flowtally on your dock and proves the record against your real receiving. Built to fit on your floor. By someone who's done it before.
