How does wave picking work?

A wave is a batch of orders grouped for simultaneous picking. The system generates an optimized pick list that combines items from multiple orders, minimizing travel distance through the warehouse.

How is carrier rate shopping done?

At shipment creation, the system queries your configured carriers (FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL) via their API and returns available rates by service level. You can auto-select the cheapest or configure business rules.

What is cycle counting?

Cycle counting is a continuous inventory audit where a subset of bins is counted each day instead of doing a full warehouse shutdown. The system schedules counts, records results, and flags variances for investigation.

Build a Warehouse Management System (WMS) with AI - in Hours

ProjectCode generates a complete, production-ready Warehouse Management System (WMS) from a single natural language prompt. In hours instead of months, you get a React frontend, NestJS REST API, PostgreSQL database, and authentication - fully integrated, live-previewed, and deployed to a URL you own.

Estimated build time: 4–6 hours

The Challenge

Why building a Warehouse from scratch is hard

Building a Warehouse Management System (WMS) from scratch requires months of development time and significant engineering resources. Teams struggle to coordinate frontend, backend, database, and authentication while managing warehouse-specific business logic, integrations, and role-based access rules.

What's Included

Everything your Warehouse needs

ProjectCode generates a production-ready Warehouse with all the modules your team needs from day one.

Receiving dock management with advance shipping notices

Put-away logic with bin and zone assignment

Pick, pack, and ship workflow with wave management

Bin and location management with capacity tracking

Packing station with cartonization

Shipping label generation and carrier rate shopping

Cycle counting and inventory accuracy tracking

Labor management: productivity metrics per operator

Architecture

How it's built

The generated Warehouse follows production-grade architecture patterns.

React 18 + TypeScript frontend with role-based dashboards tailored for warehouse workflows

NestJS REST API with dedicated warehouse modules, DTOs, validators, and service layer

PostgreSQL relational schema with normalized tables for all warehouse entities

JWT + Google OAuth authentication with granular permission gates per role

Real-time Socket.IO events for live warehouse status updates and notifications

Managed hosting with one-click deploy, custom domain, and auto-SSL

Database

PostgreSQL schema designed for Warehouse

ProjectCode generates a normalized, indexed PostgreSQL schema with the right tables and relationships for your use case. You own the schema and can evolve it freely.

bins (id, code, zone_id, aisle, row, level, depth, capacity_units, capacity_weight, is_active, warehouse_id)
receipts (id, purchase_order_id, supplier_id, expected_items jsonb, received_items jsonb, status, docked_at, completed_at, receiver_id)
pick_lists (id, wave_id, orders jsonb, status, picker_id, started_at, completed_at, items_picked)
shipments (id, order_id, carrier, tracking_number, label_url, weight, dimensions jsonb, shipped_at, status)

FAQ

Common questions about building a Warehouse

Directed put-away uses bin rules (zone, product category, velocity, weight) to tell the receiver exactly which bin to store items in. This improves pick efficiency by placing fast-moving items nearest to packing.
