AI warehouse management, in one paragraph
Wisys adds AI to warehouse and operations work in SAP Business One and Macola, as part of the same platform that runs scanning, picking, and shipping. Teams can query ERP data in plain language, turn emailed and PDF orders into sales orders, automate box selection, and re-plan production schedules. The AI connects through the SAP Service Layer or an API layer built on the Macola SDK, follows each user's permissions, and waits for approval before a transaction posts.
- Natural-language ERP queries
- Document-to-order automation
- Intelligent packing
- Production scheduling optimization
- Trigger-based workflow automation
Outcomes
What AI adds to your warehouse system
Faster answers
Check stock, order status, or late POs by asking a question, without building a report or hunting through screens.
Better shipping and planning
Pick the right carton for each order and adjust production plans as demand, materials, and capacity change.
Features
AI features for ERP-connected operations
Each feature works on live data from your system. Wisys sells them together as Agility Intelligence, the AI layer of the Wisys platform.
Natural-language ERP queries
Ask about inventory, order status, or shipments in plain language and act on the answer, instead of digging through reports.
Which open orders will ship late this week?
AIThree orders are at risk. SO-10482 is short 40 units of item 2210-B, and the next receipt is due Thursday.
Move 40 units of 2210-B from Plant 2 to cover it.
AITransfer drafted: 40 × 2210-B, Plant 2 → Main warehouse. It posts once you approve.
Document-to-order automation
Purchase orders and other incoming documents are read and turned into orders ready to post, with exceptions flagged for review.
How document-to-order works →Intelligent packing
Packers get the right box for each order, which cuts guesswork, wasted material, and avoidable shipping mistakes.
How intelligent packing works →Production scheduling optimization
Re-plan the schedule when demand, inventory, or labor shifts, while planners keep the final say.
How scheduling optimization works →Workflow automation
Build trigger-based workflows that run on their own, such as sending past-due invoice reminders or releasing credit holds after approval. Your team decides, step by step, where a person signs off.
How it works
How AI works inside your ERP
1
Connects to your ERP
On SAP Business One, AI works through the Service Layer. On Macola, it uses an API layer built on the Macola SDK, so transactions follow its own business rules.
2
Follows your permissions
Admins grant each user specific AI tools and set read-only or full access by module. The AI sees only what that user can see.
3
You approve what it writes
Transactions the AI prepares wait for a person's approval before they post. Start in read-only mode and turn on writes when you're ready.
One platform
AI as part of the full warehouse platform
AI is one layer of Wisys, not a separate tool. It works on the same live data as your scanning, shipping, and production reporting.
Warehouse management
Receiving, put-away, picking, cycle counts, and bin, lot, and serial control on mobile scanners.
Warehouse management software →Shipping automation
Pick, pack, and ship with UPS, FedEx, and USPS labels, updating the ERP as orders ship.
Shipping automation →Production labor reporting
Track and reconcile production hours by job and work center as work happens on the floor.

Security and data
AI security for ERP-connected operations
Your ERP data runs critical operations. These are the questions IT teams ask most, with straight answers.
What ERP data can the AI access, and can access be limited by role?
Access is set per user and per role. An admin grants each user specific AI tools, then sets permissions inside each tool, such as read-only or full access to individual ERP modules like sales, purchasing, or production.
Does the AI only see what the signed-in user can see?
Yes. The AI works within the permissions granted to the signed-in user, not a broad service account. On SAP Business One, transactions through the Service Layer also follow that user's SAP authorizations.
What transactions can the AI create or update?
On Macola, the AI can run the transactions Wisys already supports, through an API layer built on the Macola SDK. On SAP Business One, it uses the Service Layer transactions common in this work: business partners, sales, purchasing, and inventory.
Can we start in read-only mode?
Yes. Assign users a read-only role and the AI can answer questions but cannot create transactions. When you're ready, turn on full access for specific users and modules.
Do AI write actions require human approval?
Yes, for everyday use. Transactions the AI prepares wait for a person's approval before they post. Trigger-based automated workflows are the exception: when your team builds a workflow, it decides whether each run includes an approval step.
What data leaves our environment, and is it stored?
It depends on the feature. Plain-language queries send the prompt to the AI model. Document-to-order sends the text extracted from each document. Intelligent packing and production scheduling send no data out. No customer data is stored by Wisys or the AI provider.
Is our data used to train AI models?
No. Your data is not used to train AI models, by Wisys or by any AI provider.
What audit logs are available?
Activity logs for prompts, data access, and actions are generated today. Wisys is finalizing how customers and support will access them, so ask about current log access during your demo.
Does it support SSO and MFA?
Sign-in works through Azure AD (now Microsoft Entra ID) and on-premises Active Directory. Multi-factor authentication is not available yet.

FAQ
FAQs about AI for warehouse management
What is an AI-powered warehouse management system?
It is warehouse management software with AI built into daily work. Instead of only recording transactions, it helps people get answers, enter orders, and make decisions faster. With Wisys, that means plain-language ERP queries, document-to-order entry, packing guidance, and production scheduling, all on the same live data as scanning and shipping.
Does Wisys AI work with SAP Business One and Macola?
Yes. The AI connects directly to both ERPs: through the Service Layer on SAP Business One, and through an API layer built on the Macola SDK on Macola. Teams use it inside the ERP they already run, with no migration and no separate system to keep in sync.
Does AI replace my ERP or warehouse system?
No. Your ERP stays the system of record, and Wisys warehouse management keeps running scanning, picking, and shipping. The AI reads live ERP data, answers questions, and prepares transactions for approval. It adds speed to the systems you already trust rather than replacing them.
Which AI features are available today?
Five: natural-language ERP queries, document-to-order automation, intelligent packing, production scheduling optimization, and trigger-based workflow automation. Most teams start with one feature that targets their biggest source of manual work, then add others once the pilot shows results.
How long does it take to see results from AI?
Wisys starts with a discovery session to pick the right process, then runs a focused pilot. Most clients see measurable results within 90 days, before committing to a wider rollout across users, sites, or additional AI features.
What does AI for warehouse management cost?
Pricing depends on which AI features you use, how many people use them, and your ERP environment. Book a demo and we'll scope a pilot around one process, so you can see the cost and the return before you expand.
