Squid Supply Chain Execution is a warehouse and store operations suite that connects your team’s daily work—picking, packing, shipping, receiving, and inventory—to your business system. It is built for speed on the floor: scan-first screens, clear status for every order and case, and labels that print automatically without slowing the operator down.
Load a pick ticket, scan item barcodes into cases, and see line-by-line progress until the order is complete. The station locks the order while you work so two people cannot pack the same ticket at once. Quantity can be adjusted per scan for fast, accurate picking.
Organize picked goods into cases (cartons). Close a case when it is full, suspend an order if picking pauses, or mark the order complete when every line is packed. Policies can automatically finish paperwork when an order is done—based on how each customer or location is set up.
At the dock, build a manifest by scanning closed cases, review what is on the load, and print shipping documents. Posting to your business system follows the rules you configure per location (for example, delivery notes or invoices grouped by shipment rather than one document per case).
Look up past packing activity by order, customer, or case. Reprint packing lists or case labels when something was mislabeled or a document was lost—without repacking the order.
When a case is closed—or on demand from history—print a case label to a dedicated label printer. Printing runs in the background with no pop-up dialogs, so the operator stays on the scan field.
Optionally print a small price label with item code and price each time an item is scanned during packing. Uses a separate printer from case labels so 4×6 cartons and small shelf tags can coexist on the same station. You control who gets a label with simple enable and exclude rules (customer type, product line, vendor, item, and more).
Configure two printers per station—one for case labels and one for price labels—and set label width, height, and resolution when you know your stock size. Packing lists and other documents use your normal office printers where configured.
Receive inbound shipments against manifests: see what is expected, record what arrived, and move through receiving steps in a consistent workflow.
Receive vendor purchase orders by document number, scan lines and quantities, and post receipts when the delivery is verified.
Move inventory from receiving areas to shelf or pick bins, transfer between bins in the same warehouse, and post stock adjustments when counts or damage require a correction—all with scan validation against live inventory.
Review completed purchase order receipts for audit and support without digging through spreadsheets.
Search by item code or barcode to see item details, pricing context, and warehouse quantities—useful for supervisors and for answering questions on the floor without leaving the station.
Run count events by warehouse: scan items (and bins or sections where applicable), review variance and coverage reports, and post approved adjustments back to your business system when the count is finalized.
Build transfer shipments store-to-store: scan items into cases, manifest the load, and track history for each transfer lane you operate.
Pack and ship customer returns back to the warehouse with the same case-and-manifest discipline as outbound orders, using policies tailored to return flows.
Move stock between warehouses with scan-built cases and manifest posting suited to hub-and-spoke operations.
Each ship-to or operating location can have its own rules: whether to use bin tracking, when to print documents, how manifests post, and shortcuts such as auto-manifest when an order is finished. Customer type routing ensures the right location is chosen when an order is opened.
Per-PC station identity, warehouse scope, and role-based menus so operators see only what they need while supervisors and admins manage settings, locations, and users.
Publish links to your own web tools or reports in the station menu so operators and supervisors can open them alongside packing and receiving—without leaving the desktop application. Each link is managed centrally and can be limited to the roles that should see it.
When important steps succeed—such as completing an order, closing a case, or posting a receipt—the system can call a URL you provide so downstream systems (WMS extensions, analytics, notifications) stay in sync without manual exports.
Authorized users can browse a built-in, interactive API reference inside the application to look up manifests, cases, and related shipment data. Partners and integrators can test read-only calls with the same security model as the station—ideal for light integrations and support investigations.
The main application runs on a Windows station application tied to your on-site service, so scanning stays responsive and labels print reliably. Day-to-day packing and receiving continue on your network even if wider cloud services are briefly unavailable; license checks use a sensible grace period.
Android devices on the receiving floor can follow the same receiving rules as the desktop—for example, scanning PO lines and printing put-away cues—when your rollout includes the mobile app.
What’s next: Today’s release is built for execution on the floor—pack, ship, receive, count, labels, and the policies that tie them together. The roadmap goes further: open and work with sales orders, deliveries, invoices, purchase orders, goods receipts, and more from the same supply chain execution workspace—so your team spends less time jumping between screens and more time moving product.
