Warehouse management system: an address for every product, a basket for every order.
From shelf addressing to basket picking, from order verification before shipping to stock counts, all warehouse work happens inside your e-commerce panel. No separate program, no expensive handheld terminal required: your team works with smartphones, and your website and marketplaces are fed from the same stock.
When the warehouse is organized, orders go out error-free
As sales grow, the warehouse slows down: products are searched for, wrong items get packed, stock does not add up. A warehouse management system gives every product an address, verifies every step with a barcode and updates stock automatically.
TodayWith warehouse management
"Where is this product?" and the search goes shelf by shelf.
Every product's shelf address is known; the screen takes you to the right slot.
The wrong size or wrong color goes out to the carrier.
The scanned barcode is checked; a wrong scan triggers an audible and vibrating alert.
The warehouse is walked from start to finish for every order.
Several orders are picked in a single round, with a cart and in shelf order.
The stock in the system doesn't match what's on the shelf.
Putting away, removing from the shelf and counting all update stock; differences appear in the report.
Nobody knows who did how much work.
Staff and activity history reports show who is handling what.
01Shelf addressing
Every product has an address
You define your warehouse as floors, aisles and slots. The slot's address is also its barcode; you print its label and stick it on the shelf.
Warehouse, level, aisle and bin structure; a capacity is entered for each bin.
Create 3,000 bins at once: just enter the number of shelves, sections, levels and bins.
Bin labels are printed as HTML or PDF in the size of your label template.
Fast-access areas outside bins, such as sacks and pallets, can also be defined and assigned to a product.
You can see how many days a product has been sitting on the shelf; you spot slow-moving products right away.

02Goods receipt and transfer
Incoming products are scanned and go into the right bin
Shelving takes two scans: first the slot's barcode, then the products' barcodes. Stock is updated automatically, according to your setting.
Products are moved by transfer between two bins and between different warehouses.
With shelf lookup, scan a product to see which bins hold it and how many units.
Products not in the warehouse are collected in the awaiting-supply list; it closes when the product arrives.
Transfer and removal from the shelf are tied to separate permissions.

03Basket picking
Multiple orders, one pass, one basket per order
You select orders and open a single pick list. The screen tells you how many baskets to put on your cart, guides you shelf by shelf and shows which basket each product goes into.
The route is ordered by shelf address and the physical layout of the warehouse.
Products from different orders on the same shelf are picked in a single stop.
Scan the product: a full-screen "PUT IN BOX 3!" alert and a sound.
A wrong scan triggers a warning; a repeated scan shows an "already picked" notice.
The same order cannot enter a second pick list within 10 minutes.
If the wrong item is scanned, picking stops and shows a warning
Picking scenarios
A picking method for every warehouse
Whatever the size of your warehouse, the number of floors or the structure of your orders, you pick the way that suits you. Methods can also be combined.
Mixed orders sorted into boxes
Products from multiple orders are picked in a single pass; the product you scan goes straight into the box of its own order.
Priority by filter
Open the pick list with order filters; you decide which order is picked first.
Single-product orders first
Then multi-product orders
Only orders containing a specific product
Orders nearing their marketplace deadline: urgent
Single-level or multi-level warehouse
The picking route follows the shelf address and the physical layout of the warehouse; the walk gets shorter in single-level and multi-level warehouses alike.
Smart Picking
It groups orders by aisle and opens the pick list in one click; products from different orders on the same shelf are taken in a single stop.
04Working with a smartphone
No expensive handheld terminal required
You do picking, putaway and stock counts directly with a smartphone: an Android phone's camera reads barcodes back to back, screens are adapted to the phone with large buttons, and shelf and quantity are readable at a glance. No separate app to install; your staff log in to the panel and get started.
Show only the next product, scan each unit separately.
Picking cannot be finished until everything has been picked.
A summary window when picking is done.
Smartphone camera
On an Android phone, Chrome keeps the camera open and reads barcodes back to back; zoom for small labels.
Barcode scanner
USB or Bluetooth; on a computer, tablet and phone.
Android handheld terminal
Devices that do not send Enter or that type the barcode in one go also work.
05Verification and shipping
One last scan before it leaves for the carrier
Order verification has every product scanned once more before packing. Verified orders are printed automatically and prepared for shipping.
An order is opened by scanning the order or product barcode; products are checked one by one.
The picker's details come ready from the picking order.
When verification is done, the order slip is printed; the order goes to your shipping integration, your ERP and invoicing automatically.
If you prefer, verification by clicking, without barcodes, can also be enabled.

06Counting and stock
Keep shelf and system in sync
You count warehouse by warehouse, bin by bin, by scanning. You see the difference and approve it; stock is corrected with one click.
Bin-by-bin count: the products in each bin are scanned; counts can also be done on a phone.
Reconcile counted items: count differences are written to actual product stock.
Reset uncounted items: bins that were never counted are reset to zero, so no phantom stock remains.
Bins awaiting count: the bins of products not found during picking are counted first.

Website, marketplaces and store from the same warehouse
The warehouse feeds a single product stock. Your website, marketplace integrations and in-store sales use that stock; with Faprika Connect, orders from your connected sites also arrive at the main site, and all of them are picked from the same warehouse. No separate warehouse program, no separate stock, no separate report.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask about the warehouse management system
What is a warehouse management system (WMS)?
A warehouse management system (WMS) is software that manages which shelf each product sits on, how orders are picked and checked, and how stock is counted. Faprika's warehouse management system does all of this inside your e-commerce panel: it gives every product a shelf address, verifies every step with a barcode and updates stock automatically.
Do I need to install a separate warehouse program?
No. Warehouse management runs inside your Faprika panel; there is no separate program and no separate data. Orders, products and stock all live in one place.
Do I need to buy a handheld terminal?
No. Picking, putaway and stock counts are done directly with a smartphone: on an Android phone, Chrome keeps the camera open and reads barcodes back to back. If you already have a handheld terminal or a USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner, those work too.
Which devices does it work with?
It works with a barcode scanner on a computer, tablet and phone; on Android handheld terminals (including devices that do not send Enter); and by scanning with the camera in Chrome on an Android phone. On iPhone, use it in Safari with a scanner or by entering codes manually.
How are multiple orders picked at the same time?
You select orders and open a single pick list. The screen tells you how many baskets to put on your cart, guides you shelf by shelf and shows which basket each scanned product goes into. If the wrong product is scanned, a warning appears.
Can I choose which orders are picked first?
Yes. You open the pick list with order filters: you can pick single-item orders first and multi-item orders next, and prioritize orders that contain a specific product or whose marketplace deadline is approaching.
Can it be used in multi-level and multi-warehouse setups?
Yes. You define your warehouse as levels, aisles and bins; the picking route follows the physical order in the warehouse. Products are moved by transfer between two bins and between different warehouses.
How is a stock count done?
A stock count is opened for the warehouse and the products in each bin are scanned; counts can also be done on a phone. The difference list is shown to you first and written to stock once you approve it. Bins that were never counted are reset to zero, so no phantom stock remains.
Are marketplace and website orders picked from the same warehouse?
Yes. The warehouse feeds a single product stock; your website and marketplace integrations use that stock. With Faprika Connect, orders from your connected sites also arrive at the main site, and all of them are picked from the same warehouse.
Is warehouse management included in my plan?
The warehouse module is included in some plans and added as an extra module to others. Our specialist will work out the right setup with you based on your warehouse and order volume.
