What is going to happen?
Pack & Ship will no longer be its own separate extension.
We have continuously improved the features based on your feedback and it has today 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?
- It is no longer required to manually install and update a separate Per-Tenant extension to use Pack & Ship, you will only need Mobile MWS.
- In order 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, when a migration path is ready in AppSource we will only support the existing connectors for another 6 months. As of today that would mean September 2023 + 6 months, because that is when we expect the last connector app for ShipIT 365 to be available in AppSource.
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
Only if they need to use the ShipIT 365 Connector and start before September 2023, the old separate Pack & Ship extension should be used.
Should we stop making customizations?
