The Starshipit WMS mobile app lets your warehouse team execute jobs on the floor — picking, receiving, putaway, replenishment, kitting, cycle counts, and inventory adjustments — without needing to return to a desk between steps.

Note

Packing is not completed in the mobile app. Packing continues in the WMS web interface.

Installing the app

In WMS, go to Settings > Apps > Mobile Apps:

  • iOS — tap Download for iOS to open the App Store listing.
  • Android — tap the Android download link.

Mobile devices are automatically redirected to a mobile-optimised experience when accessing WMS from a phone or tablet browser.

Signing in

Sign in with your Starshipit WMS credentials (the same username and password you use on the desktop). Your role and permissions carry over from the desktop app.

First-time setup

When you sign in for the first time, the app walks through a short setup:

  1. Choose job types — select which types of jobs you will work on (picking, receiving, replenishment, etc). This filters what appears in your job lists.
  2. Choose scanner mode — select Camera scanner or Physical scanner depending on your hardware.
  3. Choose equipment — select a trolley, cart, or other equipment location if required for your job types. Kitting does not require equipment.
  4. Confirm and enter the app.

You can change all of these settings later from the Settings tab.

The app has four tabs:

Tab What it shows
My Jobs Jobs currently assigned to you
Open Jobs Unassigned jobs available to claim
Actions Quick actions for receiving stock and inventory tasks
Settings Account, preferences, scanner config, equipment, and support tools
