FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a warehouse management system, and what does Addverb Optimus do?

    A warehouse management system is software that controls inventory, locations and orders inside a warehouse, and Addverb Optimus is the WMS that runs receiving, storage, picking, packing and dispatch in one configurable platform. Optimus tracks every stock movement by bin location, guides operators with barcode scanning and gives managers real-time visibility of orders and inventory. It sits above Addverb's execution and control software, so the same system can run a manual site today and an automated one later.

  • What features does the Optimus WMS include?

    Optimus includes six core WMS modules: dock scheduling, receiving and quality checks, inventory management, order management, location and bin management, and reporting and analytics, all configurable to each site's processes. Inventory management covers replenishment, cycle counting and stock allocation. Order management prioritises and releases orders to the floor, and reporting tracks order accuracy, picking productivity and inventory turnover so supervisors can act on live figures rather than end-of-shift reports.

  • What is the difference between a WMS, a WES and a WCS?

    In Addverb's software stack, a WMS manages inventory and orders, a WES decides in real time which task goes to which person, robot or machine, and a WCS sends the commands that move conveyors, shuttles and sorters. Addverb's layers are Optimus (WMS), Concinity (WES) and Mobinity (WCS), with Movect managing robot fleets. Manual sites often need only a WMS. Highly automated sites usually run all three, and sourcing them from one supplier reduces interface work between layers.

  • Can Optimus integrate with an ERP and with warehouse automation?

    Yes, Optimus integrates with ERP systems for orders, item masters and stock updates, and connects natively to Addverb's Concinity WES and Mobinity WCS to drive robots, shuttles, conveyors and sorters. Addverb software has been deployed in more than 200 implementations worldwide, with interfaces built for each customer's ERP and host systems. Integration scope, message formats and test cycles are agreed during design, so data flows are validated before go-live rather than after.

  • Is Optimus a good fit for a small, fully manual warehouse?

    Optimus suits mid-size and large operations, especially sites that plan to add automation, and a small, fully manual warehouse with simple flows may get faster value from a lighter subscription WMS. Its strength is configurability and tight links to Addverb's execution and control layers, which matter most when robots, shuttles or conveyors are involved. If automation is on the roadmap within a few years, starting on Optimus avoids a second WMS migration later.
