Losing Stock in Your Warehouse? Here’s Why.

In a busy warehouse, a few missing units might seem minor. But when they keep disappearing—without reason or record—it signals a much larger problem. If you’re losing stock in your warehouse, even with a WMS (Warehouse Management System) in place, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common pain points we hear from manufacturers and distributors using NetSuite.

So, why does this happen—and how can you stop it?

At Cloud Coders, we believe losing stock shouldn’t be part of doing business. Our Warehouse Management System, built natively on NetSuite, was designed to help you take back control. Whether you’re running a manufacturing site, wholesale operation, or high-volume distribution centre, we’ll show you how to tighten up your inventory, reduce costly shrinkage, and reclaim accuracy on the warehouse floor.

Why Stock Loss Still Happens—Even with a WMS

Implementing a WMS is supposed to solve these issues. But not all systems are created equal—and the way they’re implemented can often contribute to the very problems they were meant to fix.

Here are the three most common causes we see behind stock loss in warehouses using NetSuite:

1. Your WMS Isn’t Native to NetSuite
Most WMS providers bolt their software onto NetSuite using APIs or middleware. That means your warehouse data is constantly syncing between platforms, creating room for lag, double-handling, and errors that compromise accuracy.

At Cloud Coders, our WMS is built natively on NetSuite as a certified SuiteApp. That means your inventory, orders, picking, and dispatch all live inside one ecosystem—no third-party bridges, no integration nightmares. It’s real-time, reliable, and fully aligned with your business logic.

Result: No delays, no misalignment, and full visibility across your entire warehouse operation.

2. Your Warehouse Processes Aren’t Aligned to Digital Workflows
The best WMS in the world won’t fix processes that are outdated or inefficient. We often encounter warehouses still relying on printed pick slips, loosely labelled stock bins, or inefficient picking paths. This opens the door for human error, especially when staff are rushed or undertrained.

Our team includes real warehouse operators—not just software experts—who work closely with your staff to understand floor layouts, stock movements, and workflow bottlenecks. We then design digital processes that fit your business like a glove.

Outcome: Faster picking, fewer errors, and processes your team can actually follow.

3. Your Hardware Isn’t Fit for Purpose
Many businesses overlook the hardware side of WMS implementation—but barcode scanners, printers, and mobile devices are critical to inventory accuracy. When devices are slow to respond, lose connection in certain zones, or misprint labels, the resulting errors can cascade into costly stock loss.

That’s why Cloud Coders partners with Honeywell to supply rugged, enterprise-grade scanners and printers that are built for tough environments—from chilled storage to large-scale manufacturing floors. All hardware is configured, tested, and supported by our own team.

Advantage: You get seamless performance across devices, without constant IT intervention.
