Frequently asked questions
Can we receive without ASNs?
Yes. Build ad-hoc receipts, capture counts, and generate labels on the spot.
How are cross-dock orders handled?
Configure cross-dock rules to bypass storage locations and send product straight to staging.
Do we need Wi-Fi at every dock door?
Reliable coverage is recommended. Offline modes buffer transactions until devices reconnect.
