Rabot Pulse is the all-in-one app that makes your warehouse station smarter, more connected, and easier to use—right out of the box.

Whether you're packing orders, capturing dims at intake or processing returns, Pulse brings everything together on a single screen: your WMS, your tools, and your team communication. It’s designed to help you work faster, reduce errors, and feel confident with every task.
​
​

🖥️ What Is Rabot Pulse?

Pulse is a Windows-based app installed at each pack or return station. It’s the interface your team will use daily to manage workflows, flag issues, and stay in sync with the rest of the operation.
​

Here’s what it does:

✅ WMS Integration

Pulse hosts your WMS directly inside the app—no need to jump between systems. You can view orders, scan items, and complete tasks all in one place.

✅ Plug-and-Play with Hardware

Pulse connects seamlessly with the tools you already use, including:

  • Printers – for labels and packing slips

  • Weighing Scales – to verify package weight automatically

  • Andon lights – to flag issues or get help fast

  • Barcode scanners – to trigger order processing and Rabot recordings

🧑‍🏭 Built for Frontline Teams

Pulse was designed with warehouse operators in mind:

  • Easy to use: Clean layout, responsive buttons, and no clutter

  • Fast onboarding: Most users get comfortable within minutes

  • Real-time support: Raise alerts or call for help directly through the app

It’s everything you need to keep your orders processing at the station
