    • This is a new concept in Pack & Ship and built on top of existing "Tote Picking" functionality in Mobile WMS.
    • When totes are picked they becomes a License Plate with the information about the goods inside and can be processed during packing and shipping with a single barcode scan.
    • With license plates, a lot of different information can be associated with a license plate. In Pack & Ship we focus on package information.
    Cloud Print Service
    • An add-on to the Mobile WMS. It simplifies the process of using Zebra printers to print labels in the warehouse. See Print Label

This feature requires Cloud Print Service or  Report Print

  • The label is printed from the action Menu
  • You can print License Plate labels as part of the Pick process with unique ID's
    • Using the unique ID's is especially useful when picking directly into the boxes you intend to ship, like a cardboard box for example


Tip: Print a bunch of labels before you pick and simply use them "as you go"
