What does WareBee Scheduling coordinate?

It sequences work, docks and resources so the day runs to plan. Task scheduling, dock-door scheduling and wave timing are optimised together rather than separately, so the pieces line up.

How does task scheduling work?

Work is sequenced by priority, location and resource availability, so tasks are ordered around what is actually ready and where it sits rather than a fixed list.

What does dock-door scheduling do?

Inbound and outbound doors are assigned to minimise staging conflicts, so trailers and staging space do not collide and the yard flows more predictably.

How is wave timing handled?

Waves are timed so labour and equipment arrive where the work is, keeping people and kit matched to the tasks instead of waiting on each other.

What happens when the day does not go to plan?

Live re-planning adapts the schedule when reality diverges, and the impact of the change is quantified, so you can see the cost of a disruption and reschedule with evidence.

How does scheduling fit alongside my WMS?

WareBee is an optimisation layer that works with your existing WMS, with no rip and replace. It produces the schedule, and your WMS and team execute it on the floor.

Scheduling

The day, sequenced.

Task scheduling

Work sequenced by priority, location and resource availability.

The scheduler tracks which tasks depend on which — replenishment before the pick it feeds, staging before the load it completes — so priority scores don't override a sequence that would otherwise stall itself. Supervisors see one ordered list per resource instead of reconciling several priority queues by hand.

Dock-door scheduling

Inbound and outbound doors assigned to minimise staging conflicts.

Door assignment weighs what is already staged in front of each door and how long the current trailer needs to clear, not just which doors are free right now. A door that looks open on the board but is about to be blocked by outbound staging doesn't get handed to the next inbound trailer.

Wave timing

Waves timed so labour and equipment arrive where the work is.

Release times are set from actual pick rates and equipment cycle times for that zone, not a fixed interval on a wave clock. A new wave doesn't get pushed out while the previous one is still clearing the pack line, so equipment and people arrive to open space instead of a queue.

Live re-planning

When reality diverges, the schedule adapts — with the impact quantified.

Only the tasks touched by the disruption get re-solved against current resource state — the rest of the day's plan stays untouched, so supervisors aren't chasing a schedule that changes every few minutes. The knock-on effect of a late trailer or a down forklift is visible before it reaches the next shift.
