Project fit & buying priorities
Warehouse and logistics leaders, WMS/ERP product owners, integrators and device procurement teams can assess the workflow, integration and ongoing support together. Operations should define tasks and exceptions, IT should validate interfaces and access, and procurement should compare complete configurations and service scope.
Agree packaging hierarchies, pallet split/merge and handover responsibility. Barcodes and RFID capture events; business systems implement trace logic.
From field action to a complete record
- 01Link cases, pallets and documents
- 02Record dispatch and carrier handover
- 03Capture receipt, signature or discrepancy
- 04Trace movements by lot and shipment
System integration & delivery responsibilities
Use case/pallet links, lot, stock transaction, carrier handover, receipt, packaging split/merge as the integration checklist. Define field ownership, required values and exception handling. Complete one representative job from terminal to API and backend review before scaling to more teams or sites.
SOTEN supplies terminals, selected modules, SDKs and integration support. Software partners own inventory logic, order rules and backend systems. Agree identification, networking and training with the project owner.
Turn requirements into testable selection criteria
| Criterion | Confirm with the project team | Evidence to request |
|---|---|---|
| Use and configuration | Confirm capture methods, environment and operator interaction against the criteria above | Representative jobs, tags and peripheral list |
| Systems and interfaces | WMS / ERP / TMS application version, fields, SDKs and protocols | Installable software, API specification and test account |
| Operations and support | Actual shifts, power, network, mounting and spare-unit plan | Full-shift test, installation drawing and support responsibilities |
Product platforms to evaluate
Select a platform by workflow, then confirm the branch, operating-system version and modules. The suggestions below do not mean every option is included in every configuration.

H81
Cart stations & inventory reviewMultifunction tablet for business forms and capture options; select the system platform and module combination.
View platform and configurations ↗Pilot validation & procurement acceptance
Trace one shipment through pallet splitting, partial arrival and discrepancy receipt, checking forward/backward queries and deduplication.
- Operations: confirm completion, exception review and result retrieval against real workflows.
- IT / integration: verify fields, permissions, offline recovery and duplicate handling.
- Procurement / support: freeze the tested device, software and accessories, and agree delivery, spares and service terms.
Questions before the project starts
Can this connect to our existing system?
WMS / ERP / TMS are integration targets, subject to application compatibility, interface access and SDK validation. Share the software version, API specification and an anonymized workflow sample for a device pilot. Agree device supply, integration and rollout as explicit work packages.
What should we prepare before selecting pilot devices?
Provide barcode or RFID samples, packaging materials, warehouse connectivity, shift duration and WMS/ERP interfaces. Include deployment region, estimated quantity, project stage and intended rollout date to define candidate configurations and a test plan.
Traceability-data reference
For cross-stage traceability, software partners can use GS1 event and data-element concepts as a reference alongside project identifiers and interfaces.
