GateFlow
From truck arrival to QC clearance without a single keystroke.
Overview
GateFlow replaces manual gate entry with a scan, instant ERP lookup, and printed barcode trail. It reads invoices, ASNs, and purchase orders, verifies important order parameters, and carries verified data from gate clearance to QC and material receipt. The goal is to reduce entry errors, speed up gate clearance, and create traceability for inbound material movement.
Key Features

Deployment Approach
RootStock Technology follows a structured 3 month go live approach. The process begins with scanner or camera setup, barcode printer configuration, and ERP lookup integration. It then moves into live testing with real deliveries, QC and MRN barcode validation, department routing setup, and final deployment across entry gates. The solution should make the gate operator’s job simpler, not more complicated.
Three solutions. Compounding returns.
Each solution delivers value independently. Together, they create an intelligent supply chain from component costing for vendor negotiation, through verified material arrival at the gate, all the way to live inventory intelligence that tells the team what to order next.
