Pick faster, with zero guesswork.
One app for outbound orders and rental fulfillment with RFID, barcode or your phone's camera. Every scan is checked against the order before the picker moves on.
The challenge
The real cost of disconnected order fulfillment
How Beam solves this
One unified picking flow that validates every scan in real time. RFID scans hundreds of items at once. Barcode picks one unit per scan. Your phone's camera as a universal fallback. The same process works for outbound orders and rental fulfillment.
- Every scan is checked against the order, so a wrong item or overpick is caught instantly
- Three scan methods in one flow: RFID, barcode, and camera
- Two-phase rental support: pick and send out, then receive returns automatically
- Pre-pick for large RFID orders: collect first, batch-scan later
Most teams pick orders with paper lists or basic scanners that can't tell you when something is wrong. Errors surface at packing, at shipping, or at the customer. Rental companies have a second problem: tracking what went out, what came back, and what's still missing. These inefficiencies cost time, money, and customer trust.
Core capabilities
Built for how picking actually works
Pick with a single swipe
Swipe right to complete a line, left to reset. Four sort modes, including location routing, send pickers down the most efficient path through the warehouse.

Verify the whole order in one scan
After manual picking, verify the entire order in seconds with a single RFID scan. The reader checks every item against the order automatically, so wrong items, missing items and overpicks are caught before the box is sealed.

Print a packing slip whenever you need one
Sometimes you still need a printed packing slip or a PDF to email. Generate one from any order, with line items, quantities and customer details, then share or print it straight from the app.

Send out and take back in one flow
Rental orders have two phases: pick and send out, then receive returns. The app detects the phase and adapts the interface, so your team never switches modes manually.

Beam gives us the overview and control we always wanted across all our locations.
Smit Mode uses Beam as a supplement to their existing ERP system for accurate inventory management across multiple locations.
- Control 100% transparency
Complete visibility over inventory across all store locations.
- Tracking Real-time movement tracking
See exactly where each item should be located with UID tracking.
- Availability Better item availability
Improved customer satisfaction through better stock availability.
Why Beam
One platform, not another tool
Beam brings scanning, inventory and planning together in a single platform. Picking and verification run on the same real-time data, with no duplicate processes or separate apps. Start with barcodes and scale to RFID later without changing the process.

Frequently asked questions
No. You can start with barcode scanning or even your phone camera and add RFID later without changing the process. Many teams start with barcodes for precision and add RFID for high-volume items.
Outbound orders go from open to done. Rental orders have two phases: pick and send out, then receive returns. The app detects the phase and adapts automatically during returns, scanning books items back instead of picking them.
The app catches it immediately with a visual and haptic warning. There are three error categories: wrong item, overpick, and unknown item. All errors appear in a dedicated tab and the order can't be completed until they're resolved.
Pre-picking means you first pick the order manually without RFID: you pick order lines for RFID items the same way as for non-RFID items (by quantity and location). Then, before you complete the order, you scan the entire order with RFID (only the RFID items) so the system knows which tags were picked for the RFID order lines.
Both speeds are open to you. Start today yourself with self-serve setup, or choose a guided rollout and be fully live in 2 to 4 weeks, training included.
Yes. Beam connects with the systems you already use, such as SAP, AFAS, Exact and Microsoft Dynamics, over a standard API. The same connection serves picking, inventory and every other Beam solution.
