Import warehouse locations
Upload a CSV with barcode or SKU plus location, then import it to populate shelf locations for picking and put away.
05
Configure scanner settings
Choose Barcode or SKU scanning, then select cart mode or box mode based on how your warehouse moves containers.
Your first picking round
01
Create a new picking round
Go to Picking, choose which order statuses to include, set the maximum number of orders, and create the round.
02
Scan containers
Use cart mode for carts with multiple box positions, or box mode when each physical box has its own barcode.
03
Pick items
Each item shows its shelf location. Scan products or adjust quantities manually, and report stock, damage, or missing item issues when needed.
04
Review the round
After completion, review totals, picked quantities, reported issues, and per-order breakdowns before fulfillment.
Fulfilling orders
01
Navigate to fulfillment
Open Fulfillment and scan a container. Cart mode shows all orders in the cart; box mode jumps directly to one order.
02
Verify items
Scan or count every product before shipping. A progress indicator tracks what has been verified.
03
Enter tracking and ship
Type or scan a tracking number, confirm the carrier when detected, and complete fulfillment with or without tracking.
04
Handle exceptions
Skip or release containers when something needs manual review, then return to the order later once the issue is resolved.

Platform connection model
Current and future ecommerce platforms connect through a dedicated plugin or connector. The warehouse workflow stays the same: read products and orders, guide operators, then sync stock and fulfillment updates back.
