Key features

  • Label designs are included in the package
  • New labels/sizes can be added by request (included in the service, no extra charge)
  • Printing can be added to all pages in the Mobile WMS app
  • Easy setup
  • Label data can be customized through extension
  • Works on both mobile and stationary printers

What do you need to get started

  • Zebra label printer(s)
  • Cloud Print subscription license per printer

Limitations

  • It only works on Zebra printers
  • The print must be triggered from the Mobile WMS app on the mobile device
  • Shipping labels are not included
  • It does not work on Dynamics NAV 2009, 5 or 4

How does it work

The central idea behind the solution is to use the mobile device to connect to the printer. This removes the pain of trying to connect a printer to the cloud or installing printer drivers on a local computer. When printing a label you want to be close to the printer and this makes the mobile device an optimal place to start the print. The Mobile WMS app can open a connection to any Zebra printer it can "see" on the wireless network (WiFi or Bluetooth).

Description

Tasklet Factory has developed an Extension to enhance the pick, packing and shipping workflows in the warehouse when Mobile WMS and mobile devices are used.

“Pack & Ship” is an alternative to the existing Shipment and Tote Shipping in Mobile WMS and includes improvements to workflows such as:

  • Staging of goods between picking and packing processes
  • Repacking picked goods to new packages and pallets
  • Printing labels for package/pallet contents
  • Fully customizable integration to 3rd party Shipping Apps including booking and printing shipping documents directly from the mobile device.

 

The extension can be used without integration to 3rd party Shipping Apps and will still provide significant benefits in terms of staging, repacking, and printing package content label reports.

The main goal however, is to allow our customers to easily connect the Mobile WMS solution to their 3rd party shipping solutions. This will enable customers to create and book transports/consignments, and print the shipping labels directly from the mobile devices.

  • Integration to 3rd party Shipping Apps can be developed by partners by creating “Connectors” that will bridge the gap between “Pack & Ship” and the 3rd party Shipping App
  • We provide a framework that will streamline this process and significantly reduce the amount of code needed to support a new shipping solution

Extension dependencies

Currently Pack & Ship is a separate extension. In the future, it will be included as part of Mobile WMS.
