Distribution & Warehousing Overview How it works Apps for your center

Apps for your distribution center

Free apps for the warehouse, the order desk and the counter.

Each of the three apps below does one job, is free, and installs on its own from the App library. Take the ones your center needs. Each has a guide to set it up, and its code is open, so your iVendNext partner, or your own developers, can build on it.

In the App library

The warehouse, the order desk and the counter

Where things are, who picks what, and what a sale must carry.

Bin locations

Write down where each item sits in your warehouse, and let the cashier ask the till.

  • Keep your locations, their aisles, the bins in each aisle and a note of what each bin holds.

  • A till key, Where is it?, names the bin of each item on the sale.

  • It is a record of where things are: stock moves and counts stay in your stock records, and a bin’s quantity is your own note.

Who uses it
Stock managers keep the bins; cashiers ask the till.

Where it runs
On a service iVendNext hosts. Each press sends it the sale’s items, store and till, the cashier’s email and the customer’s name; it reads your bins and writes nothing.

Also used in hardware, electronics and grocery

Pick route

Send a sales order’s lines to a picker with one button.

  • A stock user presses Assign pick route on a submitted sales order, chooses a picker and a priority, and a pick task opens.

  • The task is listed under the order. Pressing again from the same dialog opens the same task, and nothing on the order changes. The Handheld’s pick starts from a Pick List.

  • From the sales order list, one press takes up to 20 orders, one task for each.

Who uses it
Stock users and stock managers.

Where it runs
On a service iVendNext hosts. Each press sends it the order’s name, customer, warehouse, delivery date and lines, the picker and the priority; it keeps none of it.

Made for distribution

Required sale details

One rule for each customer group: while a detail the group needs is empty, the till asks for it, in your words.

  • For an account customer’s group, list the sale details it must give, such as a purchase order number.

  • At Pay the cashier reads which details are missing, fills them in and presses Pay again.

  • A group with no rule takes the rule of the group above it.

Who uses it
Retail managers set the rules; cashiers see them at Pay.

Where it runs
On a service iVendNext hosts in the United States. At Pay it reads your rules and writes nothing.

Serves every industry

The App library keeps growing, and anything else your center needs, your iVendNext partner or your own team can build with the iVendNext partner kit.

From iVendNext, added by your partner

The Handheld, the till, the counter hardware and the connectors to your ERP and web store. Your iVendNext partner adds each one to your site, and connects any other ERP, including a regional one, with the iVendNext partner kit.

The warehouse

iVendNext Handheld

Receive goods with lots and serial numbers, pick, pack and deliver orders, move stock between warehouses, count, return to the supplier and look up items, by barcode.

The trade counter

iVendNext POS

The till for your counter on a phone, a tablet or a terminal: scan, sell on account or take payment, give receipts, handle returns and close the day.

At the counter

Counter hardware

The cash drawer opens, the receipt prints on the counter’s printer, and the pole display shows the sale.

Your ERP

SAP Business One

Customers, products, price lists and warehouses kept in step; your sales, returns and transfers posted to SAP Business One.

Your ERP

Acumatica

Items, units, prices and customers come from Acumatica; your sales, returns and payments go back to it.

Your ERP

SAP S/4HANA, NetSuite and Sage X3

Your sales, returns and stock kept in step with the ERP that keeps your books.

Your web store

WooCommerce

Products, prices and stock go to your web store; paid web orders, payments and refunds come back.

Build your own

Something your center needs that no app does?

Your iVendNext partner, or your own developers, can build it. The developer site has the guides, the recipes and the samples, and an app they build can be listed in the same App library, beside ours. These samples are a head start for a distribution center:

Trade price lists kept in step

A trade or wholesale price list worked out from the retail list, and updated within seconds when a retail price changes.

Invoices and price lists for trade

A layout of its own for each trade customer’s invoice, and a price list with a photo of every item.

Stock alerts with a draft transfer

An alert when a warehouse falls below its reorder level, and a transfer request drafted for a person to check and send.

Find a partner to set it up
