Overview
Regions within a warehouse refer to physical areas or sections that are designated for specific purposes such as storage, packing, shipping, or receiving. These regions or zones can be differentiated based on various factors such as product type, size, weight, or demand. By dividing the warehouse into distinct regions, you can streamline inventory management and improve operational efficiency. This functionality is especially helpful if you want to assign employees to different areas of the warehouse. Creating and managing regions is only possible through the Skustack Admin, while filtering by region can be done through the Skustack app.
Manage Warehouse Regions
