CartonCloud New Feature Releases from 2024
2024 was a massive year for new features, with 57 new features and improvements (and counting!) This year we delivered significant enhancements to our Warehouse Management System & surrounding integrations capabilities and massively strengthened User Security.
Our teams have also been hard at work on some major enhancements to our Transport Management System with Item Level Scanning progressively rolling out in the first half of the year, plus a ton of other major WMS & TMS enhancements already in the pipeline.
Let’s take a look at some of the biggest new releases of the year!
2024 Major CartonCloud Enhancements
Improved High-Volume eCommerce Fulfilment Handling
Workflows for handling ecommerce orders can differ significantly from workflows used with other order types as they tend to contain a large number of small orders. To make processing these orders faster and easier, we’ve released a number of significant enhancements such as numerous Wave Pick Improvements to give better control when batching orders together, Pick to Tote, a new wave pick type specifically focused on small, multi-product orders, and Pack by SKU which significantly enhances the packing speed of single-item orders.
We also made it easier than ever to connect CartonCloud to Shopify and Xero with the release of our self-managed integrations capability, enabling both CartonCloud Admins, and Customers to configure integrations to click+connect to these systems and allow orders to flow seamlessly.
And we’re not stopping there… In the first half of 2025 we have a new Pack Screen coming to the web app which will provide a significantly improved packing experience. With scan-verification, tracking which items are within which shippers, carrier selection, and even the ability to quickly take photos of packed items before the box is sealed.
CartonCloud WMS Premium
In August we launched WMS Premium, a collection of 8 enhanced features for businesses requiring greater automation, customisation, data analysis, security features, and much more. We’ve been amazed at the number of businesses who have adopted Warehouse Premium since it launched, and have several powerful new premium features coming in the first quarter of 2025.
Photos and Documents on Purchase Orders
Our most-requested ideas portal idea was released in September, adding the ability to capture photos and videos of stock and/or documents during the purchase order receival, verification and put away process. This feature has had a massive uptake amongst our customer base with over 600 PO documents created each week containing over 1,500 attachments!
We’re now adding this same capability to Sale Orders (expected release in Jan/Feb), allowing pickers and packers to take photos and videos of stock and shippers throughout the dispatch process. This functionality will also be added to our upcoming Pack Screen.
Major user security enhancements
With cyber security a growing consideration within the logistics industry, July saw the introduction of Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO)* and Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) to provide significantly enhanced user security.
