Key Features of Configo WMS
What is WMS Software and Why It Matters
WMS stands for Warehouse Management System — software that tracks what you have, where it moves, and why. For make-to-order manufacturers, that means tying every material spend and every finished unit to the order that caused it. With Configo, stock updates automatically as orders change status, every movement is valued in real time, and low-stock items surface before they stall production. No more manual stock takes or guessing what's actually on the shelf.
Automated Stock Movements
Spend materials or finished goods automatically when an order's status changes — no manual entry, configurable per warehouse.
Real-Time Valuation & Alerts
See what your stock is worth at a glance, with low-stock rows flagged before they become a production bottleneck.
Full Traceability & Rollback
Every movement links back to its order or receipt. Cancelled an order after production started? Roll materials and goods back in one action.
Multiple Warehouses
Run as many warehouses as you need and mark one as the default, so automations always know where to take materials from.
Cost Visibility Control
Purchase-price visibility is a separate permission, so staff can work with stock without seeing cost data.
Batch Accounting
Every receipt is its own batch with its own cost. Spending follows FIFO or a batch you choose, and a return goes back into the batches it came from. Cut-whole materials use up offcuts before a fresh piece is started.
Configo WMS vs. spreadsheet stock counts
A spreadsheet can list what you have. It cannot tell you which order used it. Here is the difference.
Spending materials
Spreadsheet stock list Written off by hand after production, if someone remembers
Configo WMS Written off automatically when the order changes status
Cancelled orders
Spreadsheet stock list Stock stays wrong until someone repairs it
Configo WMS Roll back materials and finished goods in one action
Shortages
Spreadsheet stock list Noticed when the shop floor is already stuck
Configo WMS Low-stock items flagged before they stop production
Stock value
Spreadsheet stock list Recalculated at the next stock take
Configo WMS Valued in real time from purchase prices
Traceability
Spreadsheet stock list No link between a number and the order behind it
Configo WMS Every movement links back to its order or receipt
Cost data
Spreadsheet stock list Anyone who opens the file sees purchase prices
Configo WMS Purchase-price visibility is a separate permission
Batches and cost
Spreadsheet stock list One price per item, regardless of when it arrived
Configo WMS Each receipt is a batch with its own cost, spent FIFO
When Do You Need WMS Software?

Production consumes materials but your stock counts never quite match reality.
-
Nobody notices a shortage until the shop floor is already stuck.
-
Order cancellations leave stock in an inconsistent state nobody fixes.

Your team spends more time counting shelves than fulfilling orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is WMS software?
WMS stands for Warehouse Management System. It tracks what you have in stock, where it moves and why. For a made-to-order manufacturer that means linking every material spent and every finished item received to the order behind it.
Is Configo WMS built for manufacturers?
Yes. It is built around manufacturing: materials are spent and finished goods are received automatically as orders move through your pipeline, and stock is valued from purchase prices, including products priced from their bill of materials.
Does WMS require a separate inventory system?
No. Stock lives inside Configo alongside your orders and configurators — one platform, no integration to maintain.
Can I control who sees stock value?
Yes. Purchase price visibility is a separate permission from viewing or editing stock, so you can share warehouse access without exposing cost data.
What happens if an order is cancelled after production started?
Use the return flow to search the order, pick the affected items, and roll back both the spent materials and the finished goods in one action.
What if I run more than one warehouse?
You can run as many warehouses as you need; one is marked as the default so automations always know where to pull materials from, even when no warehouse is specified manually.
How does Configo show that stock is running low?
Each stock row can have a minimum quantity. Items below it are flagged in the warehouse view and in a dedicated low-stock report, so you can reorder before production stops.
Does Configo track stock by batch?
Yes. Every receipt becomes a batch with its own number and unit cost. Spending takes from the oldest batch first, or from the one you pick, and stock is valued at each batch's cost. A return puts materials back into the batches they were spent from.
Can I print labels with a QR code or barcode for products?
Yes. Choose the label size and the code type (QR or barcode) in the project settings, then print from an order item — one label per unit, or all items at once. Scan the code into the order search to find the order.
How does Configo know how much material an order needs?
From the calculator. Every order gets a bill of materials calculated by the configurator's formulas, with waste, minimums and conditions already applied, and the warehouse action spends exactly those quantities when the order reaches the status you chose.
Do I have to record every stock movement by hand?
No. An automation can spend an order's materials and receive the finished products when the order changes status. It only moves what the order has not had yet, so repeating a status never spends twice. You still enter supplier receipts when goods arrive.
