Requirements

  • Requires minimum MOB version 5.42

  • Contact the service desk and get the Pack & Ship Migration tool

    • We will complete this checklist to ensure that you and your environment are ready to migrate
    • You will receive a direct download link to Pack & Ship Migration tool

What is going to happen?

Pack & Ship will no longer be its own separate extension.

Based on your feedback, we have continuously improved the features and it has grown into a solid product ready for the next step.

We are now ready to merge the existing Per-Tenant extension Pack & Ship into our main product Mobile WMS that you are already using today.

  • The migration will include data and functionality
  • After the migration, all existing functionality will be available

Why is this an advantage?

  • You are no longer required to manually install and update a separate Per-Tenant extension to use Pack & Ship; you will only need Mobile MWS.
  • To create new functionality around the License Plate data structure, we need the License Plate data structure in Mobile WMS  

When is this going to happen?

  • With version 5.42 of Mobile WMS, released 29 June, Pack & Ship functionality is included in our base app.

Will we be forced to migrate?

  • No and yes, After April 1. 2024 we will stop support of our connectors and you risk future versions of LogTrade Connect or ShipIT 365 will be unsupported. It is therefore strongly recommended you complete the migration before that date.
    It´s up to you when you are ready and want to migrate, but new features related to Pack & Ship functionality will only be released as part of Mobile WMS

What does this mean for existing customers?

You will need to migrate from the existing separate Pack & Ship extension to the new version of Mobile WMS.

To ensure the correct migration process, please follow this guide: How-to: Migration of Pack & Ship

After the migration process, all existing functionality and data from Pack & Ship will be available.

What does this mean for new customers?

New Customers do not need the separate Pack & Ship extension and no migrations is required.

They should use the latest version of Mobile WMS and simply enable Pack & Ship as a feature. See details

Should we stop making customizations?

No. you can still continue to build customization for Pack & Ship.

We will share a simple guide on how to handle any customizations in the section "How should we handle existing customizations" below.
