Basic Plan
Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featurePickForge turns any phone or handheld scanner into a scan-and-pack station for your orders. Scan the courier label on a parcel - or type the order number - and the matching order opens. Scan each item as you pack: a wrong item fires a mispick alarm before the parcel is sealed, and verified orders are fulfilled with tracking. Staff sign in with a PIN - no admin accounts needed.
SwiftScan is an order management application integrated with Shopify. Users can place orders for existing Shopify customers or create new customers. Once an order is placed, the app keeps a record for future reference and management. All order data is displayed on the dashboard for easy tracking. If an order isn't ready just save it in progress module. The app is built with trade show, and b2b order taking in mind.
