Software for a warehouse receipt system
A warehouse receipt system turns stored goods into collateral, which only works if the custody record is beyond dispute. Trakora keeps that record with hardware-backed counts, a missing-stock alert the moment a count breaks, and an aged-stock alert as collateral gets old — the audit trail a financier and a depositor both trust.

When stock is collateral, the count has to hold
In an ordinary store, a count error is an inconvenience. In a warehouse receipt system, the stored goods back a receipt a depositor may have financed against — so a break between what the system says and what is on the floor is not a discrepancy, it is a custody failure. That is the bar Trakora is built to clear, and it is why the two alerts below matter more here than anywhere.
The count doesn't match
A cycle-count returns a quantity that differs from the system quantity for that lot or location. The missing-stock rule fires on the break itself — the gap between book and floor that a receipt cannot tolerate.
The exact lot and location
The discrepancy is raised against the specific lot and bin, not the warehouse as a whole, so the custodian knows precisely where the count and the record diverged — and can freeze it before a receipt is issued or released against it.
Reconcile before it moves
The custodian investigates the named lot, corrects or explains the variance, and keeps the receipt honest. The record of the break and its resolution stays on the trail — the evidence a financier or auditor asks for.

The custodian's toolkit
Real capabilities of the warehouse module, framed for collateral storage.
Missing-stock alert
A count that breaks against the system raises missing-stock against the exact lot and bin — shrinkage found, not felt.
/ missing-stockAged-stock alert
Stock sitting beyond its age threshold raises aged-stock — ageing collateral and parked working capital, surfaced before it becomes a write-off.
/ aged-stockCycle counting
Rolling counts that keep the record current between full stock-takes — the discipline a receipt system lives or dies by.
/ cycle-countLocation & lot tracking
Every receipted lot pinned to a bin on /locations and /inventory, so custody is by-lot, not by-heap.
/ inventory + / locationsRFID egress gates
Tagged stock leaving without a matching scan raises unscanned-egress — the hardware-backed control an ERP alone cannot offer.
/ rfid-gatesReceive, pick & audit trail
Receiving and picking recorded per lot, so every movement of collateral is timestamped and attributable end to end.
/ warehouseWhat Trakora is — and is not
A warehouse receipt system sits inside a regulated framework. Being exact about Trakora's role in it is the point.
What this cannot do
- Trakora is warehouse software. It is not a licensed warehouse operator and does not itself hold or confer WRRB accreditation. Any Warehouse Receipt Regulatory Board licence is granted to the operator by the Board — the software supports the record-keeping a licensed operator relies on, it does not stand in for the licence.
- WRRB accreditation status is —† referenced here only in the general, attributive sense of how a WRS is regulated; this page states no accreditation of Trakora as fact.
- The alerts depend on the count discipline and thresholds you set. A lot never cycle-counted cannot raise a missing-stock alert; an age threshold not configured cannot raise aged-stock.
- Missing-stock is a discrepancy signal, not an accusation — it names where book and floor diverged; the investigation and its outcome stay with your custodian.
- RFID egress control needs tagged stock and gate readers installed; unscanned-egress only sees what passes a configured gate.
WRRB accreditation shown as — is referenced attributively only — it is granted by the Warehouse Receipt Regulatory Board to a licensed warehouse operator, not by Trakora and not by any software. This page does not claim Trakora is WRRB-accredited. No claim or number here is invented.
Frequently asked questions
What is a warehouse receipt system?
A scheme where stored goods back a receipt that can be used as collateral. It only works if the custody record of what is stored is beyond dispute — which is the record Trakora keeps.
Is Trakora WRRB-accredited?
No. WRRB accreditation is granted to a licensed warehouse operator by the Board, not to software. Trakora supports the record-keeping an accredited operator relies on; it does not hold or confer the licence.
How does it catch shrinkage?
The missing-stock rule fires when a cycle-count differs from the system quantity, raised against the exact lot and bin so the custodian can freeze and reconcile it before it moves.
What does aged-stock tell me?
That a lot has sat beyond its age threshold — ageing collateral, spoilage or expiry risk, and parked working capital — so you can act before it becomes a write-off.
Can a financier trust the record?
The point of the module is a by-lot, timestamped audit trail — receive, count, discrepancy, ageing and egress — so the custody record stands up to a financier or auditor asking to see it.
Does it replace my ERP?
No — it adds the hardware-backed, custody-grade layer an ERP structurally can't: physical counts, RFID egress and the by-lot alerts. It sits alongside your ERP, not on top of it.
