Pickware is an inventory management system that integrates directly into your Shopware backend. This lets you manage all your data centrally in Shopware, while avoiding duplicate data storage. You don't need any additional installations with their own infrastructure and, as usual in Shopware, you can access your backend with an unlimited number of users from any operating system. Only WMS and POS each require a license per device used. In addition, you can continue to use the numerous plugins from the Shopware Community Store without any problems.

Pickware consists of the following components:

To get started with Pickware ERP in Shopware 5, you need a Shopware online shop with the Professional Edition. You need at least Shopware version 5.2, but we recommend Shopware version 5.2.8 or higher. No additional software, especially no external inventory management system, is required. Only integrating payment service providers via the corresponding Shopware plugins can make sense, in order to automate these processes as well.

To use WMS and POS, you also need the appropriate hardware from our Pickware Shop in addition to the corresponding plugins. You can find more information in this article.

In general, the Shopware system requirements apply to Pickware as well. Keep in mind that the server's performance should be matched to the size of your product range and the number of orders, in order to ensure smooth work in the Shopware backend.

Please note that both the stationary version on the iPad and the mobile version of the POS App on the iPod touch / iPhone only work on Apple devices with iOS. The use of Android devices is likewise not supported, since due to the many different device sizes, no barcode scanner cases exist in a comparable fit and quality as for Apple devices.

If you want to get a first impression of Pickware, you can log in directly to the demo shop. All our plugins and extensions are already pre-installed there and can be tested for as long as you like with the provided demo data.

In addition, you can also download our apps Pickware Versand, Pickware Lager, Pickware WMS and Pickware POS from the Apple App Store to your iPod / iPhone or iPad. Within the apps, use the pre-configured profile Pickware Demo Shop to also test the functions of Pickware WMS and Pickware POS, such as picking, shipping, and stocktaking.

All our plugins can be used free of charge for the first 30 days, so you can already get a transparent insight into how they work in your shop beforehand. You can find more information on the best way to prepare for use on our website.

If you own the Professional or Enterprise Edition of Shopware 5, our plugin Pickware ERP is already included and can be used to its full extent.

Alternatively or in addition, we also offer live demonstrations of WMS and POS, where we show you the functions of our plugins via video call and can address your questions specifically.
