The Warehouse Map gives you a visual overview of your warehouse layout. Instead of working only with lists and grids, you can build a map that reflects your physical warehouse and see exactly where each location is placed.
This tool helps warehouse teams navigate faster, find products more easily, and keep a clear picture of how storage areas are organized.
Selecting a Warehouse
Start by choosing a parent warehouse from the dropdown on the left side.
When selected, all sub-locations for that warehouse will appear underneath, including:
- Manually created sub-locations
- System areas such as Pick Station, Ramp, Office, and Packing Table
These can all be added to the visual map.
Building Your Map
The map area lets you design a simple visual layout using drag and drop.
You can:
- Drag locations into the map
- Scale and resize each block
- Move locations freely
- Remove locations using the delete icon that appears on hover
- Save the map layout
This gives you a clear visual representation of shelves, rows, and stations exactly as they exist in your warehouse.
PDF Export
Once you have created a layout, you can export the entire map as a PDF, making it easy to print or share with warehouse staff.
This is especially useful for:
- Training new employees
- Physical warehouse labeling
- Pick routes
- External logistics partners
Finding Products in the Warehouse Map
Product Search
You can search for products directly from the Warehouse Map.
When searching for a product:
- Matching products are listed in a dropdown panel
- Clicking a product highlights its storage location(s) on the map
- Locations briefly blink so they are easy to spot
This makes it easy to find where a product is stored without interpreting location codes.
Finding Orders in the Warehouse Map
The Warehouse Map also supports order-based searching.
Order Search
By switching the search mode from Product to Order, you can:
- Enter an order ID
- Instantly highlight all locations used by products in that order
- See if an order requires picking from multiple areas
This provides a clear visual overview of where to pick items for a specific order.
Using the Warehouse Map from the Edit Order Screen
The Warehouse Map can also be accessed directly from the Edit Order screen.
In the StockTrack meta box on the Edit Order page, you will find a link to open the Warehouse Map for the current order.
When opened this way:
- The Warehouse Map automatically loads the order
- All product locations used by the order are highlighted on the map
This is the same functionality as using the Order search inside the Warehouse Map, but accessed directly from the order.
Use Cases
The Warehouse Map is ideal for:
- Large warehouses with many sub-locations
- Stores with dedicated picking or packing stations
- Training new staff
- Creating printed warehouse layouts
- Finding products quickly during fulfillment or audits
It turns your warehouse structure into a simple and intuitive visual tool.
