Mobile app logic mobile

Overview
KASTOlogic mobile digitises manual storage processes directly at the point of work. Transactions are recorded at the storage location, material movements are documented in real time, and operators are guided through each step by system-driven workflows. The app can operate standalone for manual storage areas or be connected to an existing KASTO automated storage system and third-party ERP/WMS to provide transparency across all stock locations.

How it works
Warehouse staff use a mobile device (smartphone, tablet or handheld) to scan barcodes or QR codes and record movements immediately in the system. Data is transmitted in real time to the warehouse management backend (e.g. KASTOlogic) or an ERP. Guided workflows replace paper lists, ensure traceability and keep stock levels up to date.

Key functions

• Faster material location: labelled storage locations and current stock data reduce search times.
• Real-time stock visibility: mobile capture of transactions and optional transfer to ERP/WMS provide an up-to-date inventory overview.
• Reliable process execution: putaway, picking, dispatch, stocktaking and quality checks are executed via mobile devices with step-by-step guidance.
