Warehouse Shell

Define the outer footprint as a polygon — rectangles, L-shapes, or any irregular outline with non-90° walls. Coordinates are in metres from the (0, 0) origin (the shape doesn't need to touch it).

Wall #Origin (X, Y)End (X, Y)Length (m)Angle (°)
① Basics — start here

Zones, Obstacles & Walls

Carve the warehouse shell into functional zones (storage, staging, picking, dock, office...) — flat, ground-level areas — mark obstacles (columns, fixed equipment) that pickers need to route around — raised, with a height — or draw interior partition walls (place doors on them from the Doors tab). Pick a Kind below and the form fields change to match. The plan on the left updates live as you fill in the form.

Add as many zones, obstacles, and interior walls as you need — or none at all — then continue.

Doors

Place garage/dock doors and regular (pedestrian) doors on the warehouse shell walls or on any interior wall (Tab 2 — Zones, Obstacles & Walls). Position is measured from the wall's starting point. The plan on the left updates live as you fill in the form, so you can see exactly where the door will land.

Add as many doors as you need — or none at all — then continue.

Bay Builder

Define a single bay by its structural dimensions. All values in millimetres (mm). Save it as a reusable template.

Click + Create Bay to unlock this form and start a new template, or click any saved template below to edit it.

Set each level's own type, clear height, and how many discrete locations it has — e.g. 2 for "A"/"B" pallet positions, 1 for a single unlabeled position, or 5-6 for small-item picking shelves. Mix and match per level (picking shelves low, pallets up top, or however it's actually used).

Add as many bay templates as you need, then continue to place racks with them.

Racks & Aisles

Duplicate a bay template "x" times to form a rack. Place it in the warehouse and set the aisle width to the next row.

Add as many racks as you need, then review your full configuration.

Inventory

Simulates a live ERP/WMS feed of what's occupying each storage location. Export the current location list, then in Excel fill in an LPN (License Plate Number — the ID of the physical pallet/tote/carton) plus a Part Number and Quantity next to each occupied location, and import it back — occupied locations show up as boxes in the 3D view. For a mixed pallet carrying more than one part number, add extra rows with the same Location Code and LPN, one row per part number. The export also includes a Barcode column (pre-filled with the location code, or its current barcode) — edit it and re-import to bulk-update location barcodes, independent of occupancy; a blank cell clears that location's barcode. Re-export any time the rack layout changes, since a location's code depends on its rack/bay/level.

Items

A small catalog of item master data — description and a picture per part number. Add items here, then click any occupied pallet/box in the 3D view to see its part number, description, quantity, and picture.
