Shopping Cart Integration
The Problem
Your clients need different shopping platforms. Each one requires a separate integration. Some clients need three or four platforms. That means:
- Multiple integration fees eating into your margins (often $500-2000/month per platform)
- Slow client onboarding - sometimes 3-6 weeks per platform
- Complexity that scares away potential business
- Different API requirements, different update schedules, different problems
How We Solve It
One plug-and-play integration. Multiple platforms. Works with your existing WMS. Install it yourself—no IT team required. Days, not weeks.

- Your WMS → EDI 856 (Advance Ship Notice)
- Your WMS → EDI 940 (Warehouse Shipping Order)
- Custom B2B integrations with retail partners
Extend your WMS capabilities without custom development projects. Plug-and-play EDI integration that works alongside your existing system.
What This Means for You

Heat Maps, Slotting & Warehouse Visualization
Visualization vs. Analytics
We help you visualize your data. You decide what to do. No fancy analysis. No telling you what's "optimal." Just clear visualizations of what's actually happening in your warehouse.
The Problem
- Fast-moving items buried in the back. Slow-movers taking up prime real estate.
- Pickers walking unnecessary miles every day (30% productivity loss typical)
- No visibility into pick frequency patterns or warehouse activity
What You Get
- Visual heat maps: See exactly where warehouse activity is concentrated
- ABC Analysis: Identify A, B, and C items automatically
- Pick path analysis: Understand picker movement patterns
- Slotting recommendations: Data-driven suggestions on where products should live
The 3 Components of Our Heat Map System
1. Warehouse Layout
Floor layout of your warehouse. Every aisle, bin, and shelf mapped accurately. Upload your layout or we'll help you create it.
2. Heat Map Analysis
Color-coded visualization showing pick frequency. Red = hot (high activity). Blue = cold (low activity). Instantly see where problems are.
3. Piece-Level Data
Real inventory snapshot from your WMS. Pick history, velocity, dimensions, weight—everything needed for smart slotting decisions.
ABC Analysis (Pareto Principle)
Automatically categorize inventory based on the 80/20 rule: 20% of your SKUs generate 80% of your revenue.
High Value
~20% of SKUs
80% of revenue
Location: Prime zones, closest to packing
Medium Value
~30% of SKUs
15% of revenue
Location: Secondary zones, moderate access
Low Value
~50% of SKUs
5% of revenue
Location: Remote storage, back aisles
ABC categories are calculated automatically from your sales data. Update weekly or monthly as velocity shifts.
Example: 1000-SKU Warehouse
- 200 A-items: Generate $800K revenue → Prime locations
- 300 B-items: Generate $150K revenue → Secondary locations
- 500 C-items: Generate $50K revenue → Remote storage
Result: A-items average 10 feet from packing. C-items 50+ feet away. Pickers spend 80% of time accessing 20% of inventory—exactly where they should be.
Pick Path Analysis
Track actual picker movement. Where do they spend their time? Which aisles see the most traffic? Where are the bottlenecks?
What We Track:
Travel Distance
Total feet walked per order, per shift
Time Per Pick
How long each pick location takes
Congestion Points
Where pickers get stuck or slow down
Efficiency Trends
Performance over time, by zone, by picker
You decide what to do with this information. Some warehouses reorganize aisles. Some adjust pick strategies. Some realize their layout is fine but their WMS pick sequence is terrible. We just show you the data.
Primary Slotting Factors We Consider
Effective slotting can reduce picking time by 15-25%. Here's what drives our recommendations:
Pick Frequency (Velocity)
High-velocity items in prime locations (golden zone). Fast-movers closer to packing/shipping. Slow-movers in remote aisles.
Item Dimensions & Weight
Heavy items at waist height (ergonomic safety). Lighter items can go higher. Bulky items need adequate space. Small items in high-density storage.
Demand Patterns
Seasonal items get temporary prime assignments. Fast-movers grouped together when possible. Slow-movers in less accessible areas.
Product Compatibility
Hazmat separated from food/cosmetics. Cross-contamination prevention. Items often ordered together placed nearby.
Aisle & Zone Configuration
Proximity to shipping/receiving docks. High-traffic zones vs. less-frequented areas. Layout efficiency and safety considerations.
Space Utilization
Maximizing cubic footage usage. Balancing accessibility with density. Making every square foot count.
Pick-to-Light Systems
The Problem
Standard pick-to-light systems are basic and don't integrate well. Enterprise-grade systems work great but cost a fortune. Most warehouses can't justify the expense.
The Reality of Pick-to-Light Pricing:
Off-the-Shelf
$5-15K
Limited features
Poor integration
Enterprise
$150-500K+
Full features
Prohibitive cost
