Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureWhen an order goes out wrong, most warehouses have no way of knowing who packed it. Nobody wrote it down, and by Friday nobody remembers. PackedBy runs on any device at the bench. Staff tap their name, take an order, and carry on. No logins, no training, nothing to learn. Their name is tagged onto the order in Shopify, so months later you can search one order number and have an answer in seconds.
Serialix lives inside the order page. Staff type or scan a serial next to each line item while packing. One search then finds the order and customer any serial shipped with, so warranty checks and repairs take seconds. Import serials from a supplier CSV or generate ranges, auto-assign on fulfillment, and get alerts when an order ships without one.
- One tap to claim an order. No staff logins, no passwords, no training needed.
