GraniteWMS is a barcode-based warehouse management system built for the businesses that big enterprise software tends to overlook - the small and mid-market operations that are too large for spreadsheets but too lean for a six-month, seven-figure rollout. It manages the everyday choreography of a warehouse: receiving stock, putting it away, picking orders, replenishing bins, running stock takes and keeping a full, traceable record of every item that moves.
The product is the flagship of Cradle Technology Services, a company Craig and Delia Collins started in Cape Town in 2000 - selling barcode scanners, label printers and labels. The hardware business taught them exactly where warehouses bled time and accuracy, and in 2010 they built their own software to fix it. What emerged was deliberately unfashionable: a system engineered to be simple to implement, simple to use and hard to break, rather than one stuffed with features nobody asked for.
That restraint became the strategy. GraniteWMS runs standalone or plugs into the ERP and accounting platforms mid-market companies already use - Sage 200 Evolution, Sage 300, Sage Intacct, Sage X3, Sage 100, Acumatica, Cin7 and SAP Business One - so the warehouse floor and the back office finally speak the same language.
"The continued demand for our product in the medium-sized enterprise market is even more evident as we see container shipping prices skyrocket."Craig Collins - CEO & Co-Founder, GraniteWMS
Vincent Musi would frame it plainly: this is a company that sells clarity - the unglamorous certainty that the number on the screen matches the box on the shelf.
