Walk straight to any item.
Lay out your warehouse on a visual, interactive map. Search an item by name, barcode or tag and the app sends you straight to its shelf and compartment.
The challenge
You can't manage what you can't see
Most warehouses run on spreadsheets, paper maps or memory. Nobody can tell you exactly what's in compartment B3 of shelf 4 in zone A. Without a visual system that tracks stock per spot, every location question becomes a walk through the warehouse.
Why it matters
Stop managing locations on paper
How Beam transforms your warehouse
Design your floorplan right in the app, configure shelves down to individual compartments, and search any item by name, barcode or tag. The app navigates you directly to the exact spot.
- Interactive 3D floorplan with 15+ zone types
- Shelf grids with labeled compartments (A1, B2, C3)
- Search any item and navigate to its exact spot
- Bulk move items between locations in seconds
When locations live in someone's head or a sticky note, new staff get lost, pickers walk in circles, and stock goes missing. A visual map fixes that: everyone sees the same layout and goes straight to the right spot. At OutdoorXL, this kind of accuracy supports counts that are 10x faster across 200,000+ items.
Build your warehouse by drawing it
Draw zones on an interactive canvas with 15+ zone types. Set colors and height, and import a background image of your floor plan. Switch between a 3D view and a flat top-down view with smooth animations.
