GoWind WMS Product Overview

GoWind WMS is an enterprise-grade open-source warehouse management system (WMS) for small and mid-sized 3PL warehouses, e-commerce warehouses, and factory finished-goods warehouses, with native support for multi-owner and storage-bin-level inventory management; its inventory engine draws on Odoo's stock.quant / picking / move modeling ideas.

GoWind WMS is derived from the inventory module of GoWind ERP, sharing the same stack and origin, and is open-sourced under the MIT license. Trials, feedback, and contributions are welcome; for private deployment and technical support services, please contact us via the information at the end of this page.

1. Core Highlights

1. Multi-owner inventory isolation

• Native 3PL support: owners are modeled as first-class concepts, so one warehouse can serve multiple owners
• Data isolation: inventory and documents are isolated by owner — invisible to and unaffected by each other
• One warehouse, many owners: fits the real shape of 3PL warehouses running multiple clients in a shared facility

2. Odoo-style inventory engine

• quant / picking / move modeling: drawing on the mature Odoo stock model, inventory is traceable and every movement has a document
• Batches and shelf life: batch management with FEFO (First-Expired-First-Out) deduction
• Moving average cost: moving-average costing, rolling forward automatically with each inbound and outbound movement

3. End-to-end ASN arrival appointments

• Arrival appointments: owners submit an ASN (Advanced Shipping Notice) in advance, so inbound plans come first
• Declaration and receiving: arrivals are declared and confirmed on site, received against appointment details with over-receiving prevented
• Putaway suggestions: putaway suggestions are generated after receiving, so every putaway has a basis

4. Wave picking outbound

• Direct release of outbound orders: outbound orders can be released for execution once validation passes
• Wave consolidation: picking tasks are merged into wave picking and executed in batches, improving picking efficiency
• Wave debugging: a wave debugging view makes execution observable and troubleshootable

5. SaaS subscription and quota guardrails

• Subscription management: subscription management for SaaS-style operations
• Quota guardrails: usage is automatically blocked once the quota is reached, keeping resource consumption under control
• Approval track: key documents follow the unified approval track, fully logged and queryable

4. Use Cases

Small and mid-sized 3PL warehouses

• Multi-owner shared-warehouse operations, with data natively isolated per owner
• ASN arrival appointments + over-receiving protection keep inbound orderly
• Storage-bin-level management: precise slot positioning and clear operation paths
• SaaS subscription and quota guardrails make serving multiple owners easier

E-commerce warehouses

• Wave picking consolidates picking tasks and executes them in batches to handle order peaks
• FEFO batch shelf-life deduction — first-expired-first-out
• Inventory aging report bucketed at 30 / 60 / 90 / 180+ days makes slow-moving stock visible at a glance
• Chinese / English / Japanese trilingual UI fits cross-border e-commerce and overseas warehouse teams

Factory finished-goods warehouses

• Storage-bin-level management across the full inbound/outbound flow of finished goods
• Inventory freezing and outbound blocking keep abnormal stock under control
• Atomic cross-warehouse transfers keep books and stock consistent across warehouses

5. Tech Stack and Deployment

The GoWind WMS backend is built on the go-kratos microservice framework, uses Ent as ORM, and uses gRPC for inter-service communication; the admin console is built on Vue3, and field operations are equipped with a Flutter PDA (handheld scanner) client (adapted to industrial handheld terminals).

Deployment mirrors GoWind ERP: docker-compose brings up the same set of middleware (PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO, etcd, bound to 127.0.0.1), while the application side provides two service entries: admin BFF (:6600) and app BFF (:6700). For detailed deployment steps, see the docs/deployment.md deployment documentation in the repository.

Both the inventory modeling and the deployment form of the WMS originate from GoWind ERP; to learn more, see the GoWind ERP Product Overview.

6. Open-Source Repository and Contact

For developers: clone the repository and follow docs/deployment.md to complete a local deployment. Issues and PRs are welcome for co-building.
