Autostore framework for your wms
What is AutoStore Framework?
Apport AutoStore Framework is an integration module that enables AutoStore and Apport WMS to work seamlessly together.
The framework comes with preconfigured processes that support the key workflows around AutoStore. At the same time, the integration automatically synchronises data on products, inventory, picking and stock movements across systems. As a result, AutoStore becomes a fully integrated part of your warehouse operations rather than a standalone solution. With Apport AutoStore Framework, you gain a proven foundation for better visibility, fewer manual adjustments and more efficient day-to-day operations.
Connected across the warehouse
In many warehouses, AutoStore is only one part of the overall flow. Goods may be stored in the grid, on pallet racks, in manual picking zones or on their way to packing and dispatch.
That is why every part of the warehouse must work from the same up-to-date data.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
about AutoStore Framework
What is Apport AutoStore Framework?
Apport AutoStore Framework connects AutoStore with Apport WMS. The framework ensures that your AutoStore solution works with the rest of the warehouse, so data on inventory, picking and stock movements is exchanged automatically between the systems.
This creates one connected flow across AutoStore, manual warehouse zones and the rest of your warehouse operations.
Why is the integration between AutoStore and WMS important?
AutoStore only delivers its full value when the solution is connected to the processes taking place across the rest of your warehouse. Without close coordination between AutoStore and WMS, you may face manual workflows, delays and inaccurate inventory data.
With Apport AutoStore Framework, AutoStore becomes an integrated part of your warehouse management, giving you better visibility, more accurate data and more efficient daily operations.
Can AutoStore be used with manual warehouse zones?
Yes. Many companies pick both in AutoStore and in manual warehouse zones. Apport AutoStore Framework is designed for this type of warehouse flow, where automation and manual operations need to work together.
This allows you to manage picking, inventory and processes across the entire warehouse, not just within the AutoStore grid.
When does AutoStore make sense?
AutoStore may be relevant if you want to use warehouse space more efficiently, handle more order lines, reduce manual processes or create a more effective picking flow.
It can be particularly valuable if you have many items, high picking volumes, limited space or difficulty recruiting enough warehouse employees.

The main benefit is a proven connection between AutoStore and Apport WMS, rather than having to build the integration from scratch.
