WebOPTICS overview:

The WebOPTICS warehouse management system provides Bellingham Cold Storage customers with 24/7 online access to the products they have stored in our warehouses. Customers are able to quickly access real-time inventory reports and printable documents, including bills of lading, delivery tickets, lot detail and more.

With barcode technology and BCS’s WebOPTICS online portal, you always know where your products are. Plus, you have access to critical operations data, and you can efficiently communicate with our team when it’s time for shipping or receiving.

When you become a customer of Bellingham Cold Storage, you’ll receive a copy of our BCS 101 guide book, which was created by our employees to help you take advantage of all WebOPTICS has to offer.

WebOPTICS email notifications:

Bellingham Cold Storage has an automatic email notification system that works in conjunction with WebOPTICS.

There are two types of inbound emails:

  • The first one you’ll receive is an inbound notification; this email will list product descriptions when the inbound is offloaded and a manifest is printed at the dock.
  • The second email you’ll receive is the warehouse receipt notification, which is sent when the warehouse receipt is completed at BCS’s office (after new lots are set up correctly and data is confirmed). This email has links to order detail as well as the printable warehouse receipt page on WebOPTICS.

With outbound traffic, you’ll receive a shipment notification email when a truck, van, boat or rail car leaves our warehouse center carrying your product. Included in that email will be a link to the WebOPTICS printable bill of lading page. If we are processing multiple orders in one shipment, each bill will print on a separate page using this link.
