It's software that tracks the physical movement, quality, and ownership of raw materials like grain, coal, and iron ore from intake to outturn — across ships, trains, and trucks — with real-time inventory and billing, instead of relying on end-of-day spreadsheet reconciliation.
Warehouse Management Software for Bulk Agriculture and Mining
Real-time visibility, inventory control, and billing for grain, coal, iron ore, and metals operations — plus Commodity Site Manager for site-level control and Smart Scales for automated weighbridge data, all in one platform.

What is a Bulk Commodity Warehouse Management System?
A bulk commodity warehouse management system tracks the physical movement, quality, and ownership of raw materials — grain, coal, iron ore, and other bulk commodities — from intake to outturn, across ships, trains, and trucks. Unlike a generic WMS built for palletized SKUs, it handles comingled storage, quality grading and blending, weighbridge data, and contract-linked billing in real time, so stock levels and financial position never fall out of sync.

With Quoreka's CSM |
Without CSM |
|---|---|
|
Real-time visibility at every site - live silo levels, intake totals, batch positions at the weighbridge |
Data is 24–48 hours behind - spreadsheets reconciled end-of-day |
|
Automated quality enforcement - auto-rejection when parameters fall outside spec |
Manual quality checks & paper tickets, rejection is a judgement call |
|
Contract-to-silo traceability - deductions flow straight into CTRM |
No link between contract and physical receipt; deductions entered after the fact |
|
Forecast-driven site scheduling reduces queues at peak harvest |
Truck scheduling by phone & email; queuing and capacity mismatches common |
|
Accurate live inventory - SAP stock updated continuously via interface |
Inventory accuracy suffers; daily physical counts required |
|
Full audit trail from P&L line to individual truck |
P&L drill-down to a specific truck or contract deduction is nearly impossible |
Smart Scales
Automates weighbridge and truck-scale operations with RFID vehicle identification and real-time data capture. Gross and tare weights, mass-limit verification, and quality sampling are captured automatically and pushed straight into inventory and billing — no tickets, no manual re-entry, no reconciliation lag.
- RFID identification of every vehicle movement across the weighbridge
- Automatic gross/tare weight capture and mass-limit verification
- Ticketless, self-service truck delivery and outturn
- Full traceability of every weighbridge transaction, from site entry to exit
- Scales from a simple load-cell add-on to an existing weighbridge, up to a fully unmanned, RFID-card-access installation
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a warehouse management system for bulk commodities?
How is a bulk commodity WMS different from a generic warehouse management system?
Generic WMS platforms are built for palletized, SKU-based inventory. A bulk commodity WMS handles comingled storage, quality grading and blending, weighbridge integration, and deductions linked directly to contracts — none of which a standard WMS is designed to do.
What is Commodity Site Manager (CSM)?
CSM is Quoreka's real-time stock, transaction, and logistics system for individual bulk commodity and mining sites — covering orders, site inventory, stock accounts, truck booking, and billing, with a customer portal for growers, clients, and carriers.
What are Smart Scales and how do they work?
Smart Scales automates weighbridge and truck-scale operations using RFID vehicle identification and real-time data capture — recording gross and tare weights and mass-limit checks automatically, and feeding that data straight into inventory and billing without paper tickets.
Do Smart Scales require new weighbridge hardware?
No. It scales from a simple load-cell interface added to an existing manned weighbridge, up to a fully unmanned, RFID-card-access installation — the level of automation is configurable to what's already on site.
Does Quoreka's platform work for both agriculture and mining operations?
Yes. The same platform manages grain and oilseed operations (silos, elevators, harvest scheduling) and mining operations (coal, iron ore, metals stockyards and terminals) — built on one common architecture.
Does this connect to CTRM and financial systems like SAP?
Yes. Contract-to-silo traceability links every delivery to its purchase order, with deductions flowing directly into your CTRM, and stock positions updated continuously through a live SAP S/4 interface — no manual re-entry.
Is it accessible to field and site teams on mobile devices?
Yes. The platform runs on any web interface — desktop, tablet, or mobile — and supports hand-held devices for on-the-go stock monitoring, quality checks, and order management.
