Wisys adds mobile barcode scanning, lot traceability, guided picking, and shipping automation to Macola ERP. Every scan posts to the ERP as the work happens, so your records match the shelf.
Wisys is warehouse management software for Macola ERP, co-founded by Macola's founder and built for it since 2004. It runs receiving, put-away, picking, packing, shipping, and cycle counting on mobile scanners. Each transaction posts to the ERP in real time through an API layer built on the Macola SDK. It also adds bin, lot, and serial traceability and AI features for order entry, packing, and scheduling.
Macola holds the record of what you own. The gap is how warehouse activity gets into it. When that depends on paper and someone keying it in later, the ERP is always a step behind the floor.
I can't find stock, and I don't trust the data.
Locate the inventory in an instant and track what happened to items.
We keep losing items, and there's no traceability.
99.9% inventory accuracy, quicker order turnaround, and efficiency gains company-wide.
The product isn't flexible enough to fit our process.
Wisys tools let us adapt to ever-changing customer and production needs.
It takes too long to count, pick, and ship inventory.
The work we used to do gets done in minutes instead of hours.
Year-end counts bring our operations to a complete halt.
Physical inventory count went from 14 days to 1.5 days.
Wisys workflows are built with Agility design tools, including Form Studio for the screens your team scans with. Receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping steps can be changed without modifying ERP source code.
The same tools drive both the classic mobile app and Agility 360, native Android barcode scanning for Macola. That means a phone or rugged scanner can capture photos, signatures, and location along with each transaction.
"The fact that Wisys is a business partner, not just a software developer, has been the biggest impact. They have really helped us think through our processes and make those efficient for us." James Shotts, VP of Operations
GPA moved from a yearly physical inventory to perpetual cycle counting and brought inventory discrepancy down to 0.045%.
"We chose to work with WiSys because of their complete integration into our ERP – Macola Software." Manny Martinez, Director of IT, GPA Acquisitions
Chemaid needed container-level lot tracking for its cosmetics customers. Wisys cut a five- or six-step entry process to one transaction, and accuracy rose to 99%.
"The investment that we put into WiSys has paid us back many times over." Chemaid Laboratories
Agility Shipping by Wisys runs pick, pack, and ship inside your ERP workflow, with no separate shipping system to reconcile.
AI on the Wisys platform reads and writes ERP data through the same connection as the warehouse system. Access follows each user's role, and anything the AI prepares to post needs a person's approval.
Ask for open orders, stock by lot, or late POs in a sentence, instead of building a report or searching screens.
Natural-language ERP queries →Customer purchase orders are read and turned into ERP-ready sales orders for review, without retyping each line.
Document-to-order automation →Packers get the right carton for each order, cutting wasted space, dimensional-weight charges, and guesswork.
Intelligent packing →Re-plan the production schedule as orders, materials, and capacity change, using live ERP data.
Production scheduling optimization →Wisys offers these features as Agility Intelligence. See how AI works across the Wisys platform →
Run Wisys natively on Android phones and rugged scanners, with camera, signature, and location capture.
Mobile scanning on Android →Receiving, put-away, picking, cycle counting, and bin, lot, and serial control in one connected workflow.
Warehouse management software →Trace any lot forward to customers or back to receipts for recalls and audits, without digging through paperwork.
How bins and lots make traceability easy →A practical rollout that proves value in one area before it expands.

Wisys adds warehouse management to Macola ERP: mobile barcode scanning, guided receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping, plus bin, lot, and serial tracking. Every scan posts to the ERP as the work happens, so records match what is on the shelf. Teams replace paper pick tickets and keyed-in transactions with one connected workflow.
Macola is an ERP system for manufacturers and distributors, now part of ECI Software Solutions. It runs accounting, orders, purchasing, inventory, and production. Wisys works alongside it as the warehouse and shop-floor layer. It captures transactions with scanners at the point of work and writes them back to the ERP in real time.
Wisys connects through an API layer built on the Macola SDK, so transactions post through the ERP's own business logic rather than direct database writes. Receipts, transfers, picks, counts, and shipments update the ERP as they happen. Workflows can be changed with Wisys's design tools without modifying ERP source code.
No. Wisys works with Macola's own items, locations, and inventory records. It changes how transactions get into the ERP: scanned at the bin by the person doing the work, instead of written down and keyed in later. Inventory stays in your ERP, and your existing reports keep working.
Accuracy improves when transactions are scanned at the point of work instead of keyed in later. Wisys also supports perpetual cycle counting, so you count a few locations each day instead of shutting down for an annual physical. GPA Acquisitions moved to cycle counting and cut its inventory discrepancy to 0.045%.
Yes. Wisys manages inventory by bin, lot, or serial number and records each movement as it happens. That gives you forward and backward traceability for recalls and customer audits. Chemaid Laboratories uses it for container-level lot tracking and cut a five- or six-step process down to one transaction.
Yes. Agility Shipping by Wisys lets teams pick, pack, and ship inside the order workflow. It prints UPS, FedEx, and USPS labels from mobile or desktop and updates the ERP as orders ship. Faber-Castell USA uses the same shipping system for both LTL freight and small-package orders.
Yes. Macola does not include EDI on its own, so its customers have long used Data Masons, now part of SPS Commerce. Wisys integrates directly with Data Masons. With EDI integration turned on in Pick Pack settings, Wisys writes detailed shipment, package, and carton data back to the Data Masons EDI tables for ASNs and VICS bills of lading.
Four AI features work with Macola today: plain-language questions about ERP data, document-to-order automation for emailed and PDF orders, intelligent box selection for packing, and production scheduling optimization. Access follows each user's role, and transactions the AI prepares require a person's approval before they post.
It depends on scope. Wisys starts with a discovery session, then a focused pilot, then a wider rollout. Most clients see measurable pilot results within 90 days. Faber-Castell USA implemented Wisys across receiving, put-away, picking, and shipping in 16 weeks.
Wisys was co-founded by Bruce Hollinger, who also founded Macola Software. Wisys has built warehouse management for that ERP since 2004 and now serves more than 500 manufacturers and distributors running Macola and SAP Business One. Hollinger also runs Boca Manufacturing on both today.
