## Short answer

Descartes OzLink Mobile Warehouse is a barcode-driven mobile warehouse app for NetSuite. It covers receiving, picking, packing, inventory counts and moves, replenishment and labor tracking, so warehouse activity is captured in NetSuite as it happens.

## Erp

Oracle NetSuite

## Erp Key

## On Prem

## Product

Descartes OzLink Mobile Warehouse

## Vendor

Descartes Systems Group

## Category

Mobile WMS and barcode

## Integration

**Method:** NetSuite-integrated app

**Detail:** Descartes presents OzLink Mobile Warehouse as integrated with NetSuite. Scans from handhelds create or update NetSuite transactions such as receipts, fulfillments, transfers and adjustments. Confirm the exact transaction types and SuiteApp requirements with Descartes.

**Method:** Labor tracking

**Detail:** Warehouse tasks can be tied to users so time per task is visible. How that data is stored and reported in NetSuite should be confirmed during scoping.

## Data Flows

**From:** NetSuite purchase orders

**To:** OzLink

**Data:** Open receipts

**Trigger:** On device request

**From:** OzLink

**To:** NetSuite

**Data:** Item receipts with bin and lot

**Trigger:** On scan

**From:** NetSuite sales orders

**To:** OzLink

**Data:** Pick tasks

**Trigger:** On release

**From:** OzLink

**To:** NetSuite

**Data:** Pick, pack and fulfillment confirmations

**Trigger:** On completion

**From:** OzLink

**To:** NetSuite

**Data:** Counts, bin moves and replenishment transfers

**Trigger:** On scan

## Setup

### Define the warehouse layout

**Detail:** Set locations and bins in NetSuite, including pick faces and reserve locations for replenishment.

### Confirm requirements

**Detail:** Review with Descartes which functions you need (picking, packing, replenishment, labor) and what is standard.

### Install and authorize

**Detail:** Install the app, create the integration role and assign users to warehouse roles.

### Prepare barcodes

**Detail:** Ensure items, bins and locations have scannable labels and consistent identifiers.

### Configure workflows

**Detail:** Set pick methods, packing steps, count rules and replenishment thresholds.

### Pilot and tune

**Detail:** Run receiving and picking for one location, check inventory accuracy, then add counts and replenishment.

## Pitfalls

- Replenishment min/max settings that do not match actual pick velocity creating empty pick faces.
- Pack stations without consistent handoff leaving fulfillments open in NetSuite.
- UoM conversions at receiving (case vs each) creating wrong on-hand quantities.
- Labor data used for performance review without agreeing on what the scans measure.
- Users working across multiple subsidiaries or locations hitting permission errors.
- Expecting full directed WMS logic such as wave planning without confirming that it is in scope.

## Ai Layer

### Replenishment tuning

**Description:** A private assistant can compare pick history with min/max settings and suggest changes for a planner to approve.

### Fulfillment backlog triage

**Description:** Identify orders stuck between pick and fulfillment, with the missing step for each.

### Inventory accuracy review

**Description:** Highlight bins with repeated count adjustments and link them to receipts and moves.

### Labor summaries

**Description:** Summarize task times by type for supervisors, showing the transactions behind each figure.

## Alternatives

- Scanco Warehouse NS for a phone and tablet based scanning approach.
- NetSuite's native WMS where directed putaway and wave picking are required.
- Other mobile data collection add-ons, particularly where rugged hardware and complex workflows dominate.

## Faq

### What does OzLink cover?

**Answer:** Descartes lists receiving, picking, packing, inventory counts and moves, replenishment and labor tracking for NetSuite.

### Is it a full WMS?

**Answer:** It is described as a mobile warehouse app. If you need advanced directed work such as waves or slotting, compare it with NetSuite WMS or other WMS products.

### Do I need special scanners?

**Answer:** It is barcode driven, so you need scanning devices. Supported hardware and operating systems should be confirmed with Descartes.

### How could AI help?

**Answer:** It can analyze pick and replenishment data, triage stuck orders and explain count variances from NetSuite records. Any change is drafted for human approval.
