FAQ

Questions?

Does Pulse have a free trial?

Not a sign up trial. You get a demo of the modules you picked, then a business case built on your own data, then a pilot in one warehouse measured against your own baseline.

What warehouse processes does Optioryx Pulse optimize?

Pulse is a warehouse optimization layer that improves how WMS tasks are executed in picking, packing, and slotting. AI-Powered algorithms cut travel by 20–50%, increase box and pallet fill rates by 10–30%, deliver data-driven slotting moves, and reduce overall labor and transport costs.

Can Pulse picking optimization be integrated with packing operations?

Yes, Pulse can link picking and packing into a single workflow, for both pick-to-box and pick-to-pallet tasks, by providing packing instructions that account for packing constraints and the optimal picking sequence.

What are the integration options for Pulse?

There are 3. Manual file import and export, flat files over CSV or SFTP, or a direct API connection to your WMS, TMS or ERP.

Which WMS, TMS, ERP systems does Pulse integrate with?

Any of them. Pulse exposes its optimization through an API, so it connects to whatever you already run.

Is Pulse a warehouse management system (WMS)?

No. Pulse is warehouse optimization software. It sits on top of your WMS and improves the decisions it makes, instead of replacing it.
