SkyWarehouse: One business. Every warehouse, person and cost connected.
A custom ERP for a business headquartered in Barcelona, with warehouses across Spain. Stock, purchasing, staff, salaries, commissions and profitability belong to the same operation.

Running several warehouses means making decisions across stock, people and money at the same time. Head office needs to know what the business owns and earns across Spain. Each warehouse needs to manage its own work, with access limited to the records its staff should see.
SkyWarehouse brings those responsibilities into one ERP. It connects the movement of goods with purchasing, customer orders, staff, salaries and commissions. True profitability is part of that picture: the business needs to understand what remains after the costs behind the sale are accounted for.
Head office sees the business. Each warehouse sees its own work.
The system reflects one legal company with a shared product catalogue and stock held across multiple warehouses. Its connected scope includes:
- Purchasing and factory orders
- Receiving, stock, transfers and warehouse locations
- Customer orders, picking and dispatch
- Staff roles and access by warehouse
- Salaried staff and commission-based pay
- Costing and true profitability
A warehouse employee’s access belongs to their location. Head office can work across the company. That distinction lets local teams carry out their responsibilities while management keeps the wider view of stock, people and financial performance.
From a factory order to a customer shipment.
Purchasing, receiving, storage and dispatch are connected parts of the same operation. Each handoff changes what the business has, where it is and what it can supply.
Keep the factory order clear
Products belong to a shared catalogue. Manufacturing, packing and labelling specifications stay attached to the factory order, so the team can check what arrives against what was ordered.
Keep incoming goods visible
Factory orders and production progress give sourcing staff a view of what is coming. Purchasing and customer-order decisions can take expected goods into account alongside the stock already held.
Record what actually arrived
Warehouse teams receive against the expected order, record shortages or damage and put accepted goods into a location. The stock record follows what the warehouse received, rather than assuming the delivery matched the order.
Connect customer orders to dispatch
Availability, stock reservation, picking, packing and dispatch follow the customer order through the warehouse. The shipment carries its delivery note, or albarán, connecting the goods sent to the order being fulfilled.
Follow transfers between sites
Stock leaving one site is not yet available at the next. Transfers distinguish goods in transit from stock available at either warehouse, so the company can see where its goods actually are.
The financial picture includes the people doing the work.
Stock and sales are only part of the business. The ERP also handles salaried staff and people paid on commission, connecting those costs to a broader view of profitability.
Salaried staff belong to the operation
Staff records and salary costs sit within the same ERP as the warehouses they support. Managing people and managing the operation share a business context, rather than becoming separate accounts of how the company runs.
Commission is part of the commercial picture
The system handles people paid on commission as well as salaried staff. Commission payments matter to what the business earns, so they belong in its cost and profitability picture.
Calculate what the business really earns
True profitability goes beyond the difference between a purchase price and a selling price. Product costs, the costs of running the operation, salaries and commissions all matter when understanding what remains. The ERP brings that wider financial picture together.
Built around who is responsible for what.
One company, multiple local operations
The company owns the catalogue and stock across its warehouses. Products are shared, while stock locations and the work of each site remain specific to that warehouse. Management can see across locations without losing the local detail.
Warehouse access and role permissions work together
Being able to see a warehouse does not mean being able to do everything in it. Site access determines which records a person can see; role permissions determine which actions they can take. Head-office access supports work across the company.
A figure should be traceable to the work behind it
Stock movements, approvals and document history keep operational changes attributable. When a quantity or a decision needs to be checked, the team can trace it back to its source.
