At a glance

Proway Business World unites warehouse management, material flow control and automation on a single platform — modular, highly configurable and release-capable. A standard product that can be almost entirely individualised.

01

Higher performance

No waiting, no delays. PBW operates consistently in real time.

02

Configured, not coded

When your processes change, you adapt PBW via key values — without development effort.

03

Cross-site

Manage and analyse several physically separate logistics sites within one system.

Architecture / 01

Modular by design, release-capable.

PBW is consistently modular. Functions and modules are licensed individually and controlled via central key tables — changes are possible at any time, even during operation. Warehouse management and material flow control run on a shared database: no separate interface, fewer servers, fewer licences.

  • Warehouse management & inbound / outbound
  • Transport management & material flow control
  • Stocktaking, statistics & KPI cockpit
  • Value added services & production control
  • Activity-based costing & resource management
  • Mobile data capture & document management
Processes / 02

From advice note to loading.

PBW controls the entire flow of goods in a structured, process-safe way — receiving, put-away, picking, packing and loading. Storage and slotting strategies are fully configurable.

01

Goods receipt

Advance notice, receiving, load-unit building and optimal put-away via slotting strategies.

02

Goods issue

B2B, B2C, e-commerce, branch supply and parcel services — end-to-end up to dispatch.

03

Picking

Pick by Voice, Pick to Belt, multi-order picking and automated-warehouse integration.

04

Control centre

The automated logistics control centre takes decisions and prioritises orders — fully automatically.

Automation / 03

AutoStore, shuttle & conveyor technology.

PBW integrates automation solutions vendor-independently and embeds them fully into warehouse and process control. For AutoStore systems, PBW handles batch planning, forecast-based pre-planning and inventory optimisation — via the standardised TaskInterface.

Artificial intelligence / 04

AI-powered resource planning.

Large warehouses have become too complex to steer purely by hand. PBW employs recurrent neural networks (RNN, LSTM) to estimate future order volume from historical and current time series — and translates forecast pick figures directly into staffing needs.
