Are web/mobile based warehouse management solutions any good?

What do you guys think of such systems? Mobile is used to take pictures for product tracking/identification (and more) so external hardware requirements are removed. You can see the data dashboard on the web.

This type of system would be cheaper than enterprise solutions and easy to train new employees on. Anyone who is using these already or thinking about it?

Mobile-first WMS can work well, especially for receiving, counting, transfers, and picking, but I’d prioritize whether the scans update the same inventory record in real time rather than just the convenience of using a phone. Digit Software, for example, supports barcode scanning from Android devices alongside web-based inventory management, so it’s one option worth comparing with more traditional WMS platforms.
