Warehouse dashboards

Warehouse dashboard examples

Five dashboards for the people running the building: intake against despatch by site, orders out on time and the backlog behind them, lines about to run short, stock that has stopped moving, and what is on hand. Open any of them to see it in full, then use it as a template for your own data.

Fulfilment & Throughput dashboard: Orders Shipped, Orders Received, On-time rate, Cycle time (hours) and Open orders tiles.
Stock Health & Reorder dashboard: Units On Hand, Reorder Point, Days Of Supply and Inventory Turns tiles.
Warehouse Performance dashboard: Units Sold, Units Received, Inventory Turns and Days Of Supply tiles.

Three of the five examples. All figures are sample data.

Definition

What a warehouse dashboard is

A warehouse dashboard is one screen that shows how a warehouse or a network of them is keeping up: stock received, orders shipped, orders on time, the backlog, and stock that is running short or not moving. The data comes from the warehouse system, stock records and carrier exports.

  • Site against site

    Every warehouse on the same chart, same definitions.

  • Backlog before it shows

    Intake against despatch, week by week.

  • Space as well as stock

    Slow lines take the locations fast ones need.

The metrics

The metrics a warehouse dashboard is built from

Eight numbers. Most need a timestamp agreed first, because a warehouse system records several and each gives a different answer.

  • On-time shipping rate

    What share of orders leave by the promised time?

    What the data needs

    A promised ship time and an actual ship time per order. Measure against the promise, not the order time, or a slow cut-off looks like a fast warehouse.

  • Order cycle time

    How long from order received to shipped?

    What the data needs

    Timestamps per stage in one time zone. Show the spread by site, because a few slow orders hide inside a good average.

  • Fill rate

    What share of orders ship complete?

    What the data needs

    Ordered and shipped quantities per line. A backorder filled next week is still a miss on the day.

  • Backlog

    How many orders are waiting, and is the queue growing?

    What the data needs

    Orders received and shipped over the same window, per site. Output alone looks fine while the queue behind it doubles.

  • Intake against despatch

    Is each site shipping as fast as stock arrives?

    What the data needs

    Units received and units shipped by site and week. A site that receives faster than it ships is running out of room.

  • Inventory turns

    How often does the stock in the building sell through?

    What the data needs

    Cost of goods sold and average stock value for the same period and site. A month-end snapshot misses the swings in between.

  • Lines below reorder point

    Which pick faces will run empty?

    What the data needs

    A reorder point per item and site that reflects the real lead time. A network-wide total can look healthy while one site runs dry.

  • Cost per order

    What does it cost to get one order out?

    What the data needs

    Labour, packing and shipping cost for the same period and site as the order count. Leave labour out and the cheapest site is the one on overtime.

FAQ

Warehouse dashboard questions

Last reviewed against the template catalogue.

What should a warehouse dashboard include?
Units received and shipped, orders on time, open orders, cycle time, lines below their reorder point and aged stock, each by site. The five above cover one question each, so start with the one your shift meeting argues about.
What KPIs should a warehouse dashboard track?
On-time shipping, order cycle time, fill rate, backlog, inventory turns, days of supply, lines below reorder point and cost per order. The list below shows each one with the data it needs.
How do I build a warehouse dashboard?
Start with the number the operations lead asks for first each morning. Then follow five steps.
  1. Connect the warehouse system and stock records, or upload their exports, and add carrier data for delivery dates.
  2. Use the same site codes and item codes in every source.
  3. Agree when an order counts as late and which timestamp starts the clock.
  4. Check a day of shipped orders against the warehouse system's own count before anyone relies on the board.
  5. Refresh as often as the floor acts on it, and give each site lead a filtered view.
What is the difference between a warehouse dashboard and an inventory dashboard?
The question. An inventory dashboard asks what the stock is worth and whether there is enough of it. A warehouse dashboard asks whether the building is keeping up: receiving, picking and shipping on time. Inventory dashboard examples
How often should it refresh?
As often as someone acts on it. A floor watched through a shift needs several refreshes a day, while aged stock and turns are fine daily. How often you can refresh depends on your plan. See plans and refresh rates
Can every site lead see it without a licence?
Yes. Dashboard viewers are unlimited and free on every Mammoth plan, including the free one, so each site lead and supervisor can open it at no per-viewer cost. Only the people building the dashboards count as platform users.
