Features

Everything it takes to run a multi-channel ecommerce warehouse.

Orders from every store land in one pick queue, and one order can ship from more than one warehouse. Pickers follow a route planned by walking distance on a phone, or from a printed pick list. Packers print labels through your own shipping platform, and the bench camera keeps a still of the open parcel.

WAREHOUSE LAYOUT

Draw the floor once, and pick routes follow real walking distance.

Racks, bays, levels, walls and pack benches go in to scale on a 2D plan, and the 3D view shows the route around them.

The OptiWMS warehouse layout in 3D: five aisles of stocked shelving, four pack benches, and a pick route drawn on the floor from the pick start through four numbered stops.

PICKING

Each picker's phone shows the bin, the item and the next turn.

Each warehouse sets how strict scanning is, and picks made without signal wait on the phone and sync when it returns.

The OptiWMS pick screen on a phone: step 1 of 2, scan the bin RCV-A3.R2.S1.B4 to pick a Silk Camisole in size M, with the scan field and a Confirm bin button above the bottom navigation.

PACKING

Labels print at the pack bench through your own shipping platform.

Scan any item from a mixed cart to open its order, a bench camera photographs the open parcel, and tracking from Shippit, Starshipit or ShipStation goes back to the store.

The OptiWMS app on Pack bench 1 at Sydney warehouse, Pack photos view: the bench camera shows an open mailer box with a folded top inside.

Your own systems can create orders, read and adjust stock, and see each order's status and tracking over the OptiWMS GraphQL API, with an organization API key for each integration.
WEBHOOKS
Order, stock and return events reach your own systems, signed so you can check they came from OptiWMS, with up to six delivery attempts each.

STOCK

Stock by variant and bin, in every warehouse you run.

Restock tasks refill pick faces from overflow, deliveries are checked against the purchase order, and cycle counts reconcile against a ledger of every movement.

The OptiWMS inventory stock list: one row per product variant and bin, with on hand, reserved, warehouse, zone, location, pick face role and barcode.

REPORTS

Reports for the questions a warehouse manager asks each morning.

Order cycle time and SLA breaches, picks per hour by operator, supplier on-time rates, ABC classes and stock aging, each exported to CSV.

The OptiWMS ABC classification report: consumption value over the last 90 days, the count of A, B and C class SKUs, and a bar showing how the catalog splits between them.
