AIMA - Pallet: A Revolution in Inventory Management for Pallet Logistics Warehouses
Inventory management is an essential part of every warehouse. At the same time, it is one of the most time-consuming, costly, and stressful processes in the entire logistics industry.
At aeqoom, we therefore decided to fundamentally change this process.
We developed AIMA - Pallet – Automated Inventory Management for pallet warehouses, a modern solution that brings automation, accuracy, and speed to the world of warehouse inventory. We are now launching it as a comprehensive service available to logistics centers, manufacturing warehouses, and 3PL operators.
Why are traditional inventories a problem?
In many warehouses and distribution centers, we still encounter the following issues:
Operational downtime and high labor costs
Traditional inventory requires interrupting normal warehouse operations. Workers are pulled away from their standard roles for hours and assigned to manually recounting stock. The result is not only high labor costs but also losses stemming from the warehouse’s unavailability during the inventory.
Errors and Discrepancies with ERP
Manual counting is inherently prone to human error. Typos, oversights, or mix-ups lead to the physical inventory not matching the data in WMS and ERP systems. Inaccurate data then leads to poor decisions in planning, purchasing, and logistics.
Stress During Audits and Closings
An approaching audit or financial closing puts unnecessary pressure on the warehouse. If inventory is not continuously maintained in an accurate state, it is often necessary to make quick and chaotic corrections—precisely at the moment when it is least convenient.
The AIMA - Pallet Solution Principle
AIMA offers a completely new approach to inventory—fast, accurate, and without disrupting operations. An operator navigates the warehouse using a forklift or AMR equipped with AIMA technology. The system continuously scans pallet codes and their exact locations. No prior warehouse mapping is required—a simple configuration of the scanned codes is sufficient.
The software imports data from the ERP in real time, compares the actual status with the recorded status, and automatically generates discrepancy reports. Each item is accompanied by a photo and its exact location. The results are then fed back into the ERP system. The entire process is digital, automated, and fully auditable.

Accuracy over 99%
By eliminating the human factor in counting, AIMA achieves inventory accuracy of over 99%. This provides the company with data it can truly trust—and use to effectively manage inventory, plan capacity, and respond to customer requests.
Minimal or zero disruption to operations
Inventory with AIMA runs parallel to normal warehouse operations. There is no need to halt operations, reassign employees, or block receiving and shipping zones. The warehouse operates—and inventory takes place simultaneously.
Significant cost reduction
Instead of dozens of hours of manual labor, warehouse scanning takes just a few hours with minimal staff involvement. Savings are realized both through reduced direct labor costs and the elimination of costs associated with incorrect inventory and erroneous orders.
Immediate overview of discrepancies
The output of each inventory is a clear overview of discrepancies between the physical stock and the ERP records. Management and warehouse managers thus have the data they need for decision-making immediately available—without waiting for manual data processing.
Sustainability and a smaller carbon footpri
AIMA is part of aeqoom’s broader vision—using technology for both efficiency and sustainability. The automated process means fewer unnecessary movements, lower operating costs, and more accurate capacity planning. Automation that makes both economic and environmental sense.
AIMA - Pallet as a Service
A major advantage of AIMA is that we don’t just provide it as technology, but as a complete service – Inventory-as-a-Service.
Our team delivers the technology and know-how, handles the inventory count itself, processes the data, and delivers the results. We integrate the outputs into your ERP system.
You don’t have to invest in your own technology, handle implementation, or train your own team. You get accurate data—worry-free.
The solution is ideal for logistics and distribution centers, manufacturing warehouses, 3PL operators, and retail and e-commerce logistics.
How to get started?
It’s simple. Just contact us. Our consultant will get in touch with you, and together you’ll define the scope of the inventory, the coding scheme, and integration with your ERP. We’ll then take care of everything else — from the technology to the actual execution and delivery of results.
Do you want accurate data, to eliminate the stress of inventory counts, and to reduce costs? AIMA is the solution you’re looking for. We’d be happy to set up a no-obligation demo or pilot project for you.
We have a team of experienced specialists who understand industrial automation in detail.
