- Import and Deletion of Bins task update – The import/delete bins older task has had an upgrade. You can now determine the type of bin when importing, such as Fixed, Staging, etc. This can also automatically be updated to the Setup Special Bins task in entering carts/intermediate bins for manufacturing processing. Other features have also been added on the deletion side to automatically remove old carts from the Setup Special Bins tasks easily from this menu.
- FedEx Changes—More details will be discussed during the update, but this will include all new features and available options added with the FedEx updated API. As you may be aware, there is an updated JSON SCHEMA. JSON is a text-based format designed to represent structured data, allowing for seamless data transfer between systems and applications.

DCWarehouse Automation Future Plans in 2025
Our team will work with our clients to evaluate which Sage 500 Version we will update. We will also contact you directly to discuss your upgrade plans and needs.
Banyan Technologies Integration Updates
Many of you are reevaluating your supply chains post-COVID to avoid the disruptions you may have experienced during the pandemic. We aim to support the latest versions and continue to work on our integration with Banyan, which allows you to automatically shop freight carriers, book loads, and print the appropriate shipping documents. The automation saves you manual processing time on freight rate shopping and fulfillment, and there is a significant savings potential when you work with multiple freight companies.
