Release Log

We’re excited to introduce an important update designed to improve data accuracy and streamline product management. With this enhancement, PPPUOM codes must now be unique within a single customer, preventing errors and inconsistencies in order imports.

What’s New?

Greater Accuracy & Data Integrity

• The system now ensures PPPUOM codes are unique within each customer.

• Codes that match the product code of the same product are still allowed.

Faster Issue Resolution

• A new Report Page allows administrators to quickly identify and resolve any duplicate PPPUOM codes.

• The report provides:

  • A list of affected products.

  • Clear action items and direct links to make updates easier.

Clearer Error Messaging

• If a duplicate PPPUOM code is found, the system will display an immediate error message:

  • "Error: The Code for the Measurement is already in use for another product and must be unique."

Helpful Admin Notifications

• A Dismissible Banner will notify administrators if their products contain duplicate PPPUOM codes.

• The banner includes:

  • A direct link to the report page.

  • An option to "Remind me in 3 days."

Prevention of Future Issues

• Products containing duplicate PPPUOM codes can no longer be edited until the issue is resolved, ensuring data consistency moving forward.

How This Helps You

• Fewer Import Errors – Order imports will be smoother and more reliable.

• Easier Issue Resolution – Quickly identify and fix duplicate codes using the new report.

• Improved Data Integrity – Prevents accidental conflicts between products.

• Better Admin Control – Notifications and easy access to reports make management effortless.

This update is now rolling out to users! If you manage PPPUOM codes, be sure to check your report and make necessary updates.

We’re thrilled to announce that our latest enhancements to the Consignment Items Screen on the web app are now available! These updates bring a more intuitive, efficient, and user-friendly experience to help streamline your workflow.

What’s New?

• No More Side-Scrolling! We’ve redesigned the layout to spread fields across multiple rows, making data entry easier and more accessible.

• Optimised Field Widths that better match real-world usage, reducing unnecessary space and improving visibility.

• More Intuitive Field Ordering for dimensions (Length, Width, Height) so they align with how you input data.

• Smarter Volume Calculations that auto-update based on your dimensions and multipliers, with manual adjustments available when needed.

• Enhanced Keyboard Navigation for faster, more efficient data entry without needing to use your mouse.

Better Cubic Management

Gain greater control over your volume calculations! The system will now automatically update values based on your inputs while still allowing for manual adjustments. Plus, you have the flexibility to choose which field should be included in cubic calculations (Quantity or Pallets).

Try It Your Way

With this update, you can toggle between the New Interface and the Classic View, allowing you to adapt at your own pace. Test out the new layout and provide feedback to help us refine your experience further.

This update is rolling out now, and we can’t wait for you to try it! We have also added the ability for you to give us feedback from right within the Screen, so let us know your thoughts—we’d love to hear how these improvements help your workflow.

Available in Mobile versions 6.13.0, we’ve enhanced the Photos and Documents on Purchase Orders feature to handle uploads in the background. This saves time as you no longer need to wait for uploads to complete before moving onto other tasks.

To provide visibility over background uploads, we’ve added an outbox (this works the same way as our Proof Of Delivery Outbox) which provides the following:

• Visibility of Incomplete Uploads: Documents pending, in-progress or those that failed to upload will appear in the Outbox. Successfully submitted documents are automatically removed.

• Retry & Delete Actions:

  • Retry Button: Allows users to reattempt failed uploads (uploads may fail due to network connectivity, eg: poor cell signal or wifi)

  • Delete Button: Removes failed uploads and requires gallery access permissions on iOS to delete saved photos.

• Never lose data:

  • Uploads will persist if the app is closed and reopened, or even if users log out and a new user logs in!

  • If an upload fails and is deleted from the outbox, any photos/videos will be saved into the devices gallery so they can be reattempted later.

Stay tuned, this quarter we’re adding Photos and Documents to Sale Orders!

This update improves the Mobile Wave Picking process by replacing the previous dual-button system (Save & Complete) with a single dynamic button, streamlining the picking workflow and reducing confusion.

The improved system includes:

• Dynamic Button Implementation: The "Save" and "Complete" buttons have been consolidated into a single button that adjusts based on user input. Users can only "Save" if the quantity is less than required; otherwise, the button switches to "Complete."

• Enhanced Calculator View Restrictions: Users can no longer access the calculator view from a completed picked item line on the Products tab, preventing unintended interactions.

• Accurate Quantity Addition & Validation: The update ensures proper handling of quantities via manual input, tapping, calculator button usage, and PUOM barcode scanning.

• Alignment with Picking 2.0 Standards: The changes bring consistency across all Wavepick types, improving usability and reducing training complexity.

This enhancement is now automatically available in the CartonCloud 6.13.0 version of the mobile app.

We're excited to announce the release of our enhanced Stock Movement Report with a new Storage Charges Report Type. This update addresses one of our most requested features: the ability to easily reconcile storage charges with stock levels.

The enhanced report now offers two distinct report Movement Types:

• Physical Stock (Default) - The traditional report you know, showing physical stock movements based on arrival dates and pack times

• Storage Charges - A new view specifically designed for reconciling storage charges, using allocation and depletion dates

This update significantly improves historical accuracy across all aspects of stock reporting, including:

• Stock status and location information

• Expiry dates and custom fields

• Point-in-time accuracy for all stock data

The new Storage Charges Mode is designed to eliminate the time-consuming process of manually reconciling storage charges with stock levels. Built on our modern Stock Movement Report architecture, it provides the reliability and performance you expect from CartonCloud.

Following successful beta testing, Pick to Tote is now generally available to all CartonCloud WMS users.

Pick to Tote optimises e-commerce fulfillment by enabling warehouse staff to simultaneously pick multiple small orders using a tote-based system. Each tote on the picking trolley corresponds to a specific order, allowing pickers to efficiently collect items for 10-30 orders in a single trip.

The system is specifically designed for high volume ecommerce orders, and includes:

• Simultaneous multi-order picking with designated totes, minimising travel time across the warehouse

• Real-time sorting guidance ensures accurate order allocation while maintaining high-speed picking

• Streamlined handling of large order volumes with improved resource efficiency

Pick to Tote is now automatically available in your CartonCloud system and no longer requires beta access or manual enablement by our team.

For more information on how to use this feature, visit our Knowledge Base.

CartonCloud has now introduced Warehouse Zones to Warehouse Locations. You are now able to group certain locations together as zones, and more efficiently plan warehouse operations, based off of these Zones.

Key functionality:

• Logical grouping of storage locations into defined zones, eg: Pick Faces

• Zone-based wave picking for optimised pick routes

• Zone-specific management for specialised storage requirements (cold storage, bulk areas, dangerous goods sections)

• Picker workload distribution based on zonal assignments

This feature establishes the foundation for upcoming Directed Putaway functionality (planned for Q2 2025), which will incorporate zone-based logic for product placement.

Note: The wave picking feature now includes zone-based filtering capabilities.

We’ve renamed the Warehouse Location “Group” field to “Charge Group”.

This change has been made to more accurately convey the purpose of this field, which is to treat all locations with the same “Charge Group” as a single warehouse location for the purposes of storage charging.

Additionally, we’ll soon be releasing a new Warehouse Location field called “Zone”, and we wanted to ensure this was not confused with the “Group” field.

For more information on Warehouse Location Charge Groups, refer to our Knowledge Base Article

We’ve added support for HEIC (High Efficiency Image Container) files within Documents and Photos on inbound when uploading via the web application.

HEIC is the default image file format used on Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac), however it has limited support outside the Apple ecosystem.

Previously, if users tried to upload an HEIC file it would be rejected as an unsupported filetype, requiring conversion to a supported filetype (ie: JPG) prior to upload. To make it easier, we’ve added an in-browser file converter which converts the HEIC file to JPG automatically. This maximises the image compatibility with other (non-Apple) devices and other applications.

Note: The CartonCloud mobile app would already convert HEIC files to JPG prior to upload.

We’re excited to announce an enhancement to the Wave Pick Filters, designed to give you even more control and flexibility when creating waves.

Previously, Wave Picks allowed you to include products based on specific filters, but we’ve taken it a step further. Now, you can exclude certain products from your Wave Pick, ensuring more tailored and efficient picking workflows.

What’s New

• Exclusion Filters:

  • Create a wave by specifying products that should not be included in the pick.

  • Ideal for managing scenarios where certain items require separate handling or need to be picked in a different wave.

• Streamlined Picking Processes:

  • Reduce complexity by narrowing your Wave Pick to exactly what you need, while seamlessly skipping over excluded items.

  • Maintain flexibility when managing large inventories with diverse product requirements.

For more information on Wave Picks or how to use the filters, visit our Knowledge Base here.

Mobile Apps 6.9.0 introduce Pack by SKU, an enhancement designed to significantly improve efficiency when processing single-item orders*.

Within the Packing Mode of Split Pick and Pack Waves, you can now scan product barcodes directly from the orders list which then jumps you straight to the first unpacked order requiring that particular item.

This workflow significantly increases throughput when handling large quantities of single-item orders as you no longer need to spend time looking for items when packing, you can simply grab any item that was picked, scan it, and pack out the order which is shown on-screen.

How to use Pack by SKU:

• Create a Split Pick and Pack Wave Pick containing single-item orders.

• Pick all of the orders onto a single trolley / tote & then bring everything back to the packing station.

• – Here is where the magic happens! --

• Rather than work through the packing process order-by-order, instead, pickup any item from the trolley/tote and scan it.

• As each item is scanned, this automatically selects an unpacked order from the wave that needs that item.

• The packer can then pack and print the shipping label and dispatch the order. 

To streamline operations even further, combine Pack by SKU with Wave Pick Auto-Generation and CartonCloud can automatically create Single-Item Orders Wave Picks in the background.

For additional information visit our knowledge base article here.

* Note: Pack by SKU is not limited to Single-Item Orders, however it is best suited to this scenario as packers do not need to search for any other items to be packed in the order.

With mobile release 6.9.0 we’ve updated the Switch Mode screen to improve your experience and ensure seamless functionality. Here’s what’s new:

• Refreshed Switch Mode Screen:

  • Appears immediately upon login, ensuring a smoother and more intuitive transition.

  • Easily accessible via Side Menu > Switch Mode or after selecting a tenant.

• Clear Navigation:

  • The navigation bar now displays the currently selected tenant and warehouse name for better clarity.

• Smart Button Behaviour:

  • A back button is shown when accessing the screen from the side menu.

  • No back button is shown when the screen appears right after login, keeping the focus on next steps.

We’re always working to bring you a more reliable and efficient app experience. Let us know your thoughts—we love hearing your feedback!

We’re thrilled to announce the release of our new Wave Pick Auto Generation, now available for WMS Premium customers!
