What's New in Warehouse Insight v2.14
Warehouse Insight v2.14 brings practical enhancements that help teams work faster, see more, and spend less time navigating screens or switching tasks. Whether picking, packing, receiving, or building custom extensions, this update helps everything flow more easily.
1. Smarter Package No. Handling: Less Manual Work, More Momentum
Warehouse Insight now auto-generates Package Numbers, displays them more consistently across inquiry screens, and makes them easier to scan in Ad-Hoc Move scenarios and more. Warehouse work is all about moving quickly with confidence. These updates reduce the need for manual input and make Package Numbers easier to manage throughout your processes.
- There is no need to pause to assign a number—it’s ready when you are
- Package visibility is improved wherever you need it
- Scanning is intuitive and efficient during movements
2. Packages as Containers: One Scan, All the Details
The new “Packages as Containers” feature lets you scan a Package No. and instantly access all items, lot numbers, and serial numbers inside. Instead of scanning each item individually, your team can now scan once and get the complete picture—ideal for outbound shipments, internal transfers, or vendor deliveries.
- Streamlines data entry and lookups
- Supports consistent tracking and visibility
- It works like a lightweight License Plate without needing the full setup
3. User Context for Developers: Build with Precision
Custom apps can now access a “User” context variable for even more tailored functionality. This opens up more options for logging, user-specific views, and custom workflows. Developers can now create solutions that respond to the person using them.
- Great for tracking activity in custom logs
- Supports personalized user experiences
- Helps extend Warehouse Insight in more meaningful ways
4. Expanded Language Support: A More Comfortable User Experience
Warehouse Insight now includes Greek and Romanian translations. When people can work in their preferred language, everything feels more intuitive. Expanding language support makes the app more accessible and easy for more team members.

- Greater confidence using mobile devices
- A more inclusive workplace environment
5. Wider Grids on Landscape Devices: See More, Scroll Less
Default column widths are now wider on landscape-oriented mobile devices. This small visual enhancement goes a long way in making mobile devices easier to use. Wider grids let you see key information at a glance—no pinching, zooming, or scrolling.
- Better visibility on larger screens
- Faster data interpretation
- Smooth, tap-friendly navigation
6. Longer Session Options: Keep Things Rolling
You can now extend Warehouse Insight session timeouts beyond 60 minutes. Some tasks take time—longer receiving jobs, full inventory counts, or complex orders. With longer session options, users can stay signed in and fully focused until the job is done.
- Reduces interruptions in longer tasks
- Supports warehouse processes of any duration
- Keeps users in the zone
