Running a cold storage or contract warehousing business means juggling incoming and outgoing goods, tracking exactly whose stock sits where, and billing clients accurately for the space and time they use. Zeri CS is a self-hosted management system built specifically for this — not a generic inventory tool adapted for cold storage, but software designed around how cold storage and contract warehouses actually operate: storage contracts per client, location-based stock tracking, and invoicing tied to real usage.
Built on Laravel, Zeri CS is delivered as full source code, so you can host it on your own server and customize it to match how your warehouse actually runs.
Who Zeri CS Is For
- Independent cold storage warehouse operators
- Contract/third-party warehousing businesses storing goods for multiple clients
- Agricultural cold storage facilities (potato, produce, seafood, dairy storage)
- Businesses currently tracking storage contracts and billing manually or in spreadsheets
Why Choose Zeri CS
- Built for cold storage, not adapted from generic inventory software — the contract and location model matches how warehouses actually bill and operate.
- Full source code ownership — host it yourself, extend it, and avoid recurring SaaS fees.
- Laravel foundation — a widely supported, well-documented framework, making it easier to find developers for future customization.
- Straightforward licensing — Regular and Extended licenses to match personal or client-project use.
Features
Storage Contracts Set up a storage agreement per client or depositor — covering rate, duration, and terms — so billing is always tied back to an actual agreement rather than guesswork. Useful for cold storage businesses that store goods on behalf of multiple clients under different pricing terms.
Location Assignment Assign incoming goods to a specific storage location (chamber, rack, or zone) as they arrive, so staff and clients always know exactly where stock is held — reducing time spent searching and improving accuracy during audits.
Automated Invoicing Generate client invoices automatically based on storage contract terms and actual usage, instead of manually calculating charges at the end of every billing cycle.
(If Zeri CS also tracks stock IN/OUT movements, storage capacity per zone, or generates utilization reports, add those as additional feature blocks here — they're strong SEO and conversion terms for this niche and were part of your product's original design discussion.)

FAQ
What is Zeri CS?
Zeri CS is a cold storage and contract warehousing management system built on Laravel. It helps warehouse operators manage storage contracts, track where goods are stored, and automate client invoicing.
Can this product be customized?
Yes. Customization and deployment support can be requested from the client dashboard.
Do I need a developer to install Zeri CS?
Basic installation follows standard Laravel deployment steps and includes installation support notes. Some familiarity with Laravel hosting (or a developer to assist) is recommended for a production setup.
What's the difference between the Regular and Extended license?
The Regular license covers standard use; the Extended license is intended for use in a project you'll resell or provide to a client. Choose based on how the software will ultimately be used.
Does Zeri CS support multiple clients or storage contracts at once?
Yes — storage contracts are set up per client/depositor, so a single installation can manage multiple ongoing storage agreements at different rates and terms.
