Operations intelligence for warehouses & 3PLs
The intelligence layer
for the warehouse you already run.
Echo Flow reads your inbound and outbound paper, suggests smarter slotting, runs your dock-to-stock and returns workflows, and proves every move in an audit ledger, on top of your existing WMS. Smooth fulfillment. Fewer errors.
Not a rip-and-replace. Echo Flow sits on top of your WMS, ERP, and carriers. Every AI suggestion shows its work, so your team can trust it and act on it.
Designed to work alongside your stack: Manhattan, Blue Yonder, Körber, NetSuite WMS, ShipHero, SAP. We sit on top of it, not instead of it. Connector availability varies, see integrations below.
Agentic AI · The document-exception agent
Stop reviewing every document. Review the ones that actually need you.
Echo Flow runs an agentic layer on top of document processing. The document-exception agent takes each captured BOL or invoice, reconciles it against the matching PO/ASN, and does three things.
01
Auto-resolves the clean ones
High-confidence matches clear without a human touching them.
02
Escalates only true exceptions
When something does not reconcile, it routes the document to a person with the mismatch and the reason spelled out.
03
Records every decision
Every match, exception and approval is written to the audit ledger, with the reason attached.
Agentic, with the dial in your hands.
Supervised autonomy by default
For documents. The agent auto-resolves above the confidence threshold you set and escalates the rest. You can tighten or loosen that dial.
Explainable
Every auto-resolve and every escalation shows the reasoning.
Guardrailed
It respects your metered limits and fails closed. Nothing silently disappears.
Audited
Every action lands in the tamper-evident ledger.
The problem
The WMS tells you what happened. It rarely helps with what is happening right now.
Most warehouse teams run a capable WMS and still lose hours to the same gaps every shift.
Paper is still a manual job.
Someone retypes BOLs, invoices, and ASNs by hand. Slow, error-prone, and the root of half the reconciliation headaches and chargebacks.
Slotting is whatever it was years ago.
Pick paths grew by habit, not by data, so pickers walk farther and re-handle more than they should.
Errors and returns are found late.
Mismatches surface after they have hit the books. Returns get worked off scattered notes and email threads.
Labor is a black box.
You can feel where the hours leak, but you cannot point to it on a screen.
Proof takes a week of spreadsheets.
When a client asks for SLA evidence or disputes a charge, assembling the record is a project.
You do not need to throw out your WMS to fix any of this. You need a layer on top that reads the paper, decides the next move, and proves it happened.
How it works
Connect what you have. Add intelligence on top.
01
Upload a document or connect your stack.
Start by uploading your first document, or connect your WMS/ERP. No rip-and-replace, no capital project.
02
Turn paper into data.
Drop a BOL, invoice, or ASN: PDF, scan, or phone photo. Echo Flow reads the line items and reconciles them against your PO/ASN, flagging mismatches before they hit your books.
03
Act on suggestions you can trust.
See AI slotting suggestions on your real inventory, run dock-to-stock and returns workflows, and watch where labor actually goes. Every recommendation is explainable: you see the reasoning, not just an answer.
04
Prove every move.
Each confirmed action is written to a tamper-evident audit ledger, so SLA proof and chargeback defense become an export, not a fire drill.
Key capabilities
One layer for the dock-to-ship loop.
Every capability below is built and available today.
AI-assisted slotting
Slotting suggestions computed on your own inventory and movement patterns to cut walk time and re-handling. Suggestions are explainable, so your team can see why a location is recommended and accept or override it.
Automated document processing (OCR)
Read BOLs and invoices (PDF, scan, or phone photo, including messy and handwritten) and reconcile the line items against the matching PO/ASN. No template setup per vendor format.
Dock-to-stock workflows
Move inbound from the door to a put-away location in one guided flow, so receiving stops being the bottleneck and nothing sits unaccounted on the dock.
Returns
Process and disposition returns in a structured workflow instead of scattered notes and email. Reverse logistics is as governed as the forward flow.
Cycle counting
Run cycle counts as a repeatable workflow to keep inventory accurate without shutting the floor down for a full physical.
Labor intelligence
Surface where labor hours actually go across tasks and shifts, so you can see where time leaks instead of guessing.
Audit ledger
A tamper-evident record of every confirmed move. Export it for SLA evidence, compliance asks, and chargeback disputes.
Multi-tenant with RBAC and SSO
Run multiple facilities or clients with role-based access control and SSO/SAML. Built for IT to sign off on.
The differentiator
Your WMS records. Echo Flow makes it smart.
Ripping out a WMS is a multi-quarter, multi-million-dollar fight nobody on the floor wants. So Echo Flow does not ask you to.
Echo Flow is the intelligence layer that sits on top of the WMS, ERP, and carriers you already run. It reads the documents your WMS cannot, suggests the slotting your WMS keeps static, runs the workflows that today live in spreadsheets, and proves the moves your WMS only partially logs.
And because ops teams are right to distrust black boxes: every AI suggestion in Echo Flow is explainable. You see the drivers behind a slotting recommendation or a reconciliation flag, so you can defend the decision and act on it the same shift.
| Spreadsheets and manual work | Traditional WMS alone | Echo Flow (on top) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reads your paper | Manual typing | Manual / add-on | AI capture + reconcile |
| Suggests slotting | No | Static rules | AI, on your inventory, explainable |
| Returns and cycle counting | Ad hoc | Varies | Structured workflows |
| Labor visibility | No | Limited | Labor intelligence |
| Proves every move | No | Limited logs | Tamper-evident audit ledger |
| Time to value | "Free" but manual | Months | Start with one document |
| Replaces your WMS? | N/A | N/A | No, sits on top of it |
