Set up and Platform

Every warehouse has WiFi black spots. Switching to offline mode prevents downtime due to WiFi dropouts.

Barcode Capture

Use the app to capture barcodes for items that have not yet been assigned one.

Configurable Workflows

Exact steps in each workflow can be toggled on or off to optimise the user experience, matching it to the business process requirements.

Inventory Management

Warehouse Management

Adjust Inventory

Manually adjust stock in a location giving a reason why to account for errors outside of the system.

Quick Register

Register items quickly into locations by scanning the location and the item.

Inventory Count

Inventory count a specific location and compare counted items versus expected inventory levels. The process doesn’t impact warehouse operations and inventory counts can be prioritised based on last time location inventory count was completed.

Scan to Move

Move barcoded items to a new location by scanning the item or selecting all items in the location.

Scan to Remove

Remove products and include a removal reason like “damaged stock”.

Pick by Order

Pick one order at a time in the fastest route through the warehouse.

Unpick Items

Unpick items if they are damaged or an order is cancelled during picking and the item will be removed from the ‘Dispatch’.
