- 01Who is WarePulse built for?WarePulse is built for small and mid-sized 3PLs, manufacturers, distributors, and ecommerce warehouses that have outgrown spreadsheets or paper workflows but do not want a six-figure WMS program.
- 02What warehouse problems does WarePulse solve first?Most teams start with inventory accuracy, bin-level visibility, receiving discipline, picking flow, cycle counting, lot or expiry control, and client-facing visibility for 3PL work.
- 03Is WarePulse only for 3PL warehouses?No. WarePulse has strong 3PL workflows, including client separation and billing visibility, but it also supports manufacturing inventory, wholesale distribution, ecommerce fulfillment, FEFO environments, and cycle count programs.

Who WarePulse is built for and where it replaces spreadsheet operations.
What warehouse problems does WarePulse solve first?
Most teams start with inventory accuracy, bin-level visibility, receiving discipline, picking flow, cycle counting, lot or expiry control, and client-facing visibility for 3PL work.
Is WarePulse only for 3PL warehouses?
No. WarePulse has strong 3PL workflows, including client separation and billing visibility, but it also supports manufacturing inventory, wholesale distribution, ecommerce fulfillment, FEFO environments, and cycle count programs.
Can WarePulse replace our current spreadsheets?
Yes. WarePulse is designed to move item, location, inventory, receiving, picking, and count work out of fragile spreadsheets into a controlled WMS with role-based access and audit-visible activity.
Implementation and rollout
How the first warehouse gets configured, trained, and expanded.
How long does implementation usually take?
Most single-warehouse go-lives land in 3 to 6 weeks. Timing depends on data readiness, workflow complexity, device decisions, training needs, and whether CSV or Next Movement data exchange is in the first scope.
What should we prepare before kickoff?
Bring your item list, location or zone map, current inventory file, open inbound and outbound work, user roles, customer list if you are a 3PL, and the rules that matter most, such as FEFO, FIFO, holds, billing, or count thresholds.
Can we roll out WarePulse in phases?
Yes. A controlled rollout is preferred. Many teams pilot one area or workflow first, prove the scans and reports match real work, then expand to more zones, warehouses, customers, or integrations.
Do you migrate data from spreadsheets or an old WMS?
WarePulse supports structured imports and migration support. Data cleanup, mapping, validation, and acceptance checks are scoped during implementation so the launch is based on verified records, not blind uploads.
Integrations and data exchange
What is live today and what is scoped during implementation.
Can WarePulse connect to our ERP, ecommerce, accounting, carrier, or EDI system?
WarePulse supports CSV import/export and the Next Movement ecosystem integration today. Other ERP, ecommerce, accounting, carrier, marketplace, or EDI connections are reviewed and scoped during implementation with clear acceptance criteria.
What does the Next Movement ecosystem integration do?
The ecosystem integration connects warehouse actions to Next Movement logistics workflows. It can support intake, staging, readiness signals, appointment windows, signed webhooks, idempotent processing, and retry or DLQ review where the partner flow is enabled.
Can we start with CSV and add integrations later?
Yes. Starting with controlled CSV imports and exports is often the cleanest path. Once core warehouse work is stable, additional data exchange can be scoped without making launch depend on every system at once.
Who controls what data is shared outside WarePulse?
You decide which warehouse data moves outside WarePulse. Data exchange stays tied to explicit workflows, such as imports, exports, readiness updates, or approved partner handoffs. Custom sharing is not assumed just because a system exists.
Warehouse workflows
Receiving, inventory, picking, packing, returns, and count behavior.
Does WarePulse support barcode scanning?
Yes. WarePulse is built around scan-backed receiving, putaway, picking, packing, cycle counts, and inventory checks so the floor confirms work as it happens.
Do we need specialized handheld scanners?
You can start with modern phones or tablets and add rugged Zebra, Honeywell, or Bluetooth scanner hardware as volume grows. The right device mix is usually decided during rollout planning.
Does WarePulse support FEFO, FIFO, lots, and expiry dates?
Yes. WarePulse supports lot and expiry visibility, FEFO or FIFO operating rules, expiry alerts, holds, and regulated workflows when those controls are part of the implementation scope.
Can clients see inventory and order status?
Yes. The customer portal gives 3PL clients controlled visibility into inventory, orders, receipts, returns, appointments, claims, billing, and profile information without exposing the operator portal.
Pricing and plans
How WarePulse pricing works and what changes as you grow.
How much does WarePulse cost?
WarePulse plans start at $399 CAD per month for one warehouse. Pro is $699 CAD per month for 2 to 4 warehouses, and Enterprise is $999 CAD per month for 5 to 10 warehouses.
Are there per-user fees?
No. WarePulse includes unlimited users on every plan, so operators, supervisors, admins, finance users, and account stakeholders can be added without seat-count surprises.
Is implementation included in the monthly subscription?
Implementation is scoped as a one-time project fee. The cost depends on data migration, training, workflow complexity, warehouse count, and any CSV, Next Movement, or custom data exchange work.
Can we try WarePulse before committing?
Yes. WarePulse offers a 7-day free trial. For a serious rollout, the implementation conversation still matters because the system has to match the real floor, not only a demo environment.
Security and ownership
Data control, access boundaries, payments, and trust review.
Who owns our warehouse data?
You own your operational data. WarePulse stores and processes it to deliver the service, with export-friendly paths for continuity and review.
How does WarePulse protect access?
WarePulse uses secure authentication, role-based access, tenant-aware boundaries, and audit-visible operational events so people see and change only what their role should allow.
Is payment information stored by WarePulse?
No. Payment processing is handled by Stripe. WarePulse does not store card details on its own servers.
Can we request security or data-protection materials?
Yes. The Trust Center is the public starting point. If your team needs a security package, questionnaire response, or data-flow details, send the requirement and WarePulse support will route it to the right person.
