Power Up Your Warehouse with a Cloud-Based WMS Mobile App

Meeting your daily step goal is great — if you're training for a race that is. 😏 But if your team is clocking 10,000 steps by midday just to keep up with order fulfillment, it’s a clear sign: it’s time for a cloud based WMS that empowers your team to do more, move smarter, and stay fully connected while on the warehouse floor.

Real-Time Warehouse Management in Your Pocket

Running a warehouse with low overheads and a high ROI starts with a lean, efficient team that can deliver a high output every day. 

To empower such a team, you need workflows that can help you move faster, boost accuracy, and handle more orders with ease. That’s where a cloud based WMS equipped with a powerful WMS mobile app can make all the difference. 

CartonCloud’s cloud based WMS system is built for small, fast-moving teams, giving you the tools to simplify your operations, increase productivity, and keep orders flowing from start to finish — so you can focus on hitting your fulfillment goals, not just your daily step count!

Why Warehouse Mobility Matters

Staying mobile means more than just convenience — it can drive real warehouse efficiency for your team. Using a cloud based WMS mobile app, your team has the ability to execute their daily workflows from anywhere on the warehouse floor, and:

• Complete tasks faster, with fewer steps
• Maintain top-notch accuracy
• Adapt quickly to changing priorities or order volumes
• Keep operations flowing smoothly, even during peak times

CartonCloud’s mobile app puts full control in your team’s hands, keeping your operations updated in real time across all devices — one of the key benefits of using a cloud based WMS solution.

Using the CartonCloud WMS mobile app, your team can:

• Scan barcodes to confirm stock selection for accurate picking and packing
• Pick multiple high-volume orders in one pass 
• Move warehouse inventory into new locations
• Reallocate hard-to-reach stock for easy picking
• Streamline e-commerce fulfillment
• Capture and attach photo or video evidence directly to orders

Mobile Barcode Scanning for Instant, Accurate Updates

Stay connected and in control of your warehouse operations, even when you're on the move. By pairing your WMS mobile app with a Bluetooth scanner, you gain the ability to perform a wide range of essential workflows with real-time accuracy. Every scan immediately updates your cloud based WMS software, providing you with instant visibility and seamless data capture.

Use mobile barcode scanning in your warehouse to:

• Instantly update inventory status as they pick, pack, or move stock
• Find exact warehouse inventory locations with a simple barcode scan
• Manage inventory levels and stock movements
• Confirm the correct item of stock is picked.

As soon as an item is scanned with the CartonCloud mobile app, its status and location are automatically updated in your CartonCloud cloud based WMS — keeping stock records live, accurate, and always up-to-date.

Speed Up Warehouse Fulfillment with Mobile Wave Picking

When order volumes surge, being able to pick multiple items at once is key to helping your team breeze through their pick list. In an ideal workflow, you want your team to access orders live on their mobile device, so they can simply jump in and start picking right away. 

Using CartonCloud’s Wave Picking feature on the cloud-based WMS app, your team can pick up to 100 items at once — cutting down on walking time and speeding up fulfillment time so orders are out the door faster.

It’s one of the features that Cass Strunk, Founder of Core Logistic Services is most excited to use on the CartonCloud WMS mobile app – helping her small team pick faster and work smarter every day!

“Wave picking is when you want to pick for several customers all at one time. It allows one person to pick all of the items for a group of orders and then another person to use all of those picked items to pack the actual packages.”

“It really makes picking and packing so seamless. It helps us to double check our work as we're moving along. It helps us to divide our work based on our strengths. We can do everything from our mobile app!” — Cass Strunk, Founder of Core Logistic Services

Move Stock Faster with Scan Move

You can tell CartonCloud is built by logistics people. Our cloud based WMS solution keeps your operations connected and up to date — and with CartonCloud’s Scan Move feature, your team can manage stock movements right from the warehouse floor without needing to head back to a desk to update stock records.

In just a few taps, you can scan and move multiple items to a new warehouse location in just seconds, all while instantly updating your CartonCloud cloud based WMS.

Scan Move is a great tool for fast-paced environments like high-volume warehouses or for cross docking operations, where freight needs to be scanned, staged, and shipped out quickly. 

And if your warehouse deals with serialized products for stacked or grouped items, your team can use Multi Capture mode to scan and capture multiple serial numbers with a single QR code

For Kierden Buchanan, Scan Move helps make moving large items like drink kegs around the warehouse much easier.

"I also use the Mobile App’s Scan Move function quite a bit, as I’m constantly moving things around [the warehouse]. Every time a product gets rotated top down, I move it. It made maintaining the warehouse so easy." — Kierden Buchanan, Delivery Specialist, Drink Distribution

Make Stock Reallocation Quick & Easy

Let’s face it — some stock is just tricky to reach. Whether it’s bulky white goods or pallets tucked into tight corners, your team shouldn’t have to waste time or energy trying to pick hard-to-reach items.

CartonCloud’s Reallocation feature makes it easy to access the stock you need right on the spot, giving your team the flexibility to make fast, picking decisions on the go.

Using the CartonCloud WMS app, your team can simply scan the item they want to pick, and CartonCloud’s cloud based WMS system will instantly swap it with a more accessible one — all while keeping your inventory up to date.

It’s a simple way to save time during picking, reduce congestion in busy areas, and keep your team's workflows running smoothly.
