Why Crate
Purpose-built for warehouse operations
Most WMS platforms are either overengineered ERP modules with months of implementation, or spreadsheet replacements that break at scale. Crate sits in the middle — powerful enough for complex warehouse operations, straightforward enough to deploy in days.
Independent Architecture
Each functional domain — catalog, supply chain, inventory, warehouse — runs independently. No single point of failure. Scale each concern separately as your operation grows.
Multi-Tenant by Design
Built for organizations managing multiple warehouses, teams, and operational units. Tenant isolation is enforced at every level, not bolted on as an afterthought.
API-First Platform
Every capability exposed through clean REST APIs. Integrate with your existing ERP, e-commerce platform, or custom tooling. Webhook support for real-time event streaming.

What is a warehouse management system (WMS)?
A WMS is software that manages day-to-day warehouse operations — tracking inventory levels, coordinating goods receiving, organizing storage locations, and providing visibility into stock movements. Crate covers the full inbound supply chain from purchase orders through putaway and invoice reconciliation.
How is Crate different from inventory management software?
Inventory management tracks what you have. A WMS goes further — it models your physical warehouse (zones, aisles, racks, bins), manages procurement workflows, handles goods receiving with quality checks, and reconciles supplier invoices. Crate is a full WMS, not just a stock counter.
Does Crate support barcode scanning?
Yes. Crate supports EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 128, QR codes, and custom barcodes. Items can be looked up by scanning during receiving, stock counts, and inventory adjustments.
Can Crate manage multiple warehouses?
Yes. Crate supports multiple warehouses, distribution centers, cold storage facilities, and fulfillment centers. Each warehouse has its own zone, aisle, rack, and bin structure with independent stock tracking.
Is there a free plan?
Crate is free during early access. The Starter plan includes one warehouse, up to 5,000 SKUs, three users, and full REST API access.
