Live Inventory: Real-Time Insight for All Shipments

10 June 2026

Insight is as crucial as movement

Within logistics, insight is just as important as movement. Goods are constantly on the move, and this requires a clear overview. Therefore, VDH offers all customers the capability of 'live inventory' as part of our WMS system. This feature constantly shows where a shipment is, what the status is, and what is in stock in our warehouse. This provides complete transparency in every step of the process.

Always Access to Up-to-Date Information

With live inventory, VDH customers have insight into the status of their goods at any time. Not through after-the-fact reports, but real-time. As soon as something happens in the warehouse or in transport, it's immediately visible.

That means:

  • Insight into incoming and outgoing goods

  • Overview of loading and unloading moments

  • Current stock levels

  • Instant updates on changes

More control over stock and planning

As all information is constantly updated, a reliable picture of the inventory is created. This helps to plan better, make faster decisions, and work more efficiently. Whether it's about replenishing stocks, preparing deliveries, or coordinating transport: the right information is always available.

Insight into Customs Status

Customs information is indispensable for international goods flows. Within VDH’s 'live inventory' system, this status is also visible for customers.

This makes it immediately clear:

  • Which goods are under customs supervision

  • Which shipments have been released

  • Where any points of attention lie.

Maintaining Control Over the Goods Flow Together

With live inventory, VDH provides insight into every goods flow and control. It is a powerful tool that ensures overview, reliability, and flexibility. This makes logistics a transparent process in which every step is visible. From arrival to departure. Everything is accurate, and everything can be tracked.
