Set up and Platform

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

Warehouse Management
Adjust Inventory

Quick Register

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’.

Configurable Dashboards
