Business value
Increase the efficiency of warehouse workers using the Warehouse Management mobile app by enabling the app to fetch data automatically through the back end and therefore skip steps that previously required worker input.
Feature details
Detours allow a warehouse worker using the Warehouse Management mobile app to temporarily jump into another mobile device flow (for example, to look up a purchase order ID) and then come back to exactly where they were before to continue the interrupted process. This existing functionality has now been enhanced to enable the system to fetch data related to the current task from the back end automatically and then make immediate use of that data in the detour flow. This enhancement can help reduce the number of steps in a flow, make data capture more accurate, and improve worker efficiency.
