TinboxIQ · No subscription

Warehouse picking and inventory software for independent lubricant distributors, from the team whose founder built the WMS at CITGO Petroleum.

It's a web app: nothing to install on your servers or your trucks. It keeps working when the wifi drops in the back of the warehouse. And setup isn't a manual we email you: we do it on your floor, with your people.

Why it exists

Built by people who've been on the floor

We've watched forklift drivers waste hours looking for pallets the system says are there. We've seen spreadsheets that only one person understands become mission critical.

We built TinboxIQ because most WMS platforms are too complex, too expensive, and built for consultants, not operators.

What you get

The short version

  • Picking that keeps up with the truck schedule

    Guided picks on the phones your crew already carries. Drums, pails, cases, bulk. The pick list knows the difference.

  • Operators learn it in days, not weeks

    The screens match how the floor already works. Receiving, putaway, picking, counts. No training binder required.

  • Health metrics you can act on

    A live operational pulse of your inventory. Where capital is parked, which SKUs put service at risk, where stocking decisions are costing you.

  • No subscription fee

    Fixed fee build, transparent pricing, no per seat licenses. The system and the data are yours.

  • Built around your workflow, not ours

    Package size conversions, deposit tracking, lot traceability. If your operation has a quirk the big platforms can't handle, that quirk is exactly what we build for.

Who you're dealing with

Founded by Karthik Alagugurusamy

Our founder implemented the WMS at CITGO Petroleum. Before that, corporate analytics. After it, years in the field on the operations side of the desk, where software either helps you or gets in your way. Now it's Tinbox Systems LLC, out of north Phoenix.

We build every system in-house and we stay on it. When you call, you get the people who wrote the code, and Karthik picks up his own phone. Not an account manager. Not a ticket queue.
