Rewix uses MagWare to manage your e commerce warehouse by taking advantage of the most advanced features.

Magware is theWMS (Warehouse Management System) software made by Re-Store and used in the most important logistics of Italy. It is the fashion logistics software of DHL SCM.

What is MagWare

MagWare is a warehouse management and commerce system designed to facilitate the activities of dedicated warehouse resources.

Managing a physical warehouse requires the repetition of actions to manipulate goods. MagWare simplifies all warehouse management operations while avoiding wasted operator time and energy.

All the main functions of MagWare are made to be performed in real time by radio terminals with other systems such as thin clients, voice guidance(MagWare Voicering) and automated systems. The majority of warehouse tasks can be performed with them.

Some warehouse tasks such as ticking and packing can be performed more easily on special workbenches: in these cases, the MagWare Desk application is available that allows these tasks to be performed while taking advantage of a larger, more functional screen.

Office work, on the other hand, is carried out on PCs or thin clients through the MagWare Control Center application, which allows in and out document entry and management, production of printouts and data extractions, and supervision and control of the entire system.

For the management of automated machines, specific applications are available for interfacing with automatic weighing and marking systems, sorters, AS/RS, traslo, etc.

MagWare consists of a computer system that best suits your material handling needs.

MagWare is designed in several functional versions, each dedicated to a particular area of use.
