Descartes Peoplevox

Descartes Peoplevox is a warehouse management system aimed at ecommerce businesses. It is part of the Descartes group and is built for online brands that pick, pack and ship from their own warehouse.

The software keeps stock levels current in real time, which prevents overselling, and guides staff through picking so the right items reach the right customers. It is meant to let a business handle more orders and channels without adding staff.

What Descartes Peoplevox offers

• Real-time inventory — stock counts update as goods arrive, move and ship, covering the flow from goods-in to returns.
• Order picking — workflows that speed up picking and cut mis-shipped orders.
• Order prioritisation — helps teams cope with busy days and bring new warehouse staff up to speed quickly.
• Multichannel support — manages more sales channels and inventory without a matching rise in headcount.
• Expert guidance — a team of fulfilment specialists works with customers during implementation.

Who it works with

• Direct-to-consumer retailers and online brands that run their own warehouse
• Businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets or entry-level apps
• Sellers of finished products ready to ship

It is not aimed at firms wanting an all-in-one system for the whole business, or at those who outsource their warehouse to a third party.
