Warehouse Lab

A working Warehouse you can watch and join in

Warehouse Lab is a working Warehouse Management System, integrated with a small online shop and an ERP system. Together, these systems support the complete order journey, from a customer’s purchase to picking, packing and shipment.

To be honest, I needed an excuse to play around with Opus 5.5 during my vacation. My wife’s raised eyebrow suggested that building a Warehouse Management System from scratch wasn’t quite her idea of switching off.
