Pre-Wired Setup for Your Vertical
Most warehouse operators want the same kinds of custom fields, dimensions, pipelines, and checklists as their peers in the same vertical. An industry template is a bundle of pre-configured settings that gets you 80% there in one click.
Available Templates
| Template | Best for |
|---|---|
| Fashion & Apparel | Clothing / accessories with size, color, fabric attributes |
| E-Commerce Fulfillment | DTC brands shipping from one or more warehouses |
| B2B Distribution | Wholesale operations with per-customer pricing tiers + POs |
| Pharmacy & Healthcare | Regulated inventory with NDC, lot, expiration, controlled-substance tracking |
| 3PL / Contract Warehousing | Operating warehouses on behalf of multiple client brands |
| Manufacturing | Build-to-order, kit assembly, work-in-progress tracking |
| Automotive Parts | High-SKU operations with fitment data + supersession |
| Custom Setup | Start blank; build up your own configuration |
What a Template Sets Up
When you apply a template, it idempotently creates (safe to re-apply — it won't duplicate existing settings):
- Custom field definitions matched to the vertical (e.g. Apparel gets
size,color,fabric_composition; Pharmacy getsndc_code,controlled_schedule,expiration_days) - Variant dimension templates — pre-defined variant axes so new products can pick a template instead of typing dimensions one by one
- Pipeline templates for stage-based workflows (e.g. Design → Sample → Production → QA for apparel)
- Checklist templates attached to compliance milestones
- Divisions and brands common in the vertical
- Pack templates for typical shipping configurations
- Display labels — UI strings adjusted to the vertical (e.g. "SKU" vs "Style #" in apparel)
Where to Apply One
During onboarding. New accounts are prompted to pick a template after creating their first warehouse.
Later. Existing tenants can apply (or re-apply) from Settings → Industry Templates. Applying a template later is additive — it won't overwrite custom fields you've already created or remove things you've already configured.
Building Your Own
If none of the bundled templates fits, pick Custom Setup and build the configuration manually:
- Settings → Custom Fields — add the attributes you need
- Settings → Variant Dimensions — define your variant axes
- Settings → Pack Templates — describe how items ship
- Settings → Pipelines and Checklists if you need workflow tracking
Tip: If you're partway between two verticals (e.g. an apparel brand that also does B2B wholesale), apply Fashion & Apparel first, then B2B Distribution. The additive behavior means you keep both sets without conflict.
