Sync AI · WMS Agent

A warehouse floor that thinks ahead.

The Sync AI WMS Agent brings AI optimization to the pick face: waves built by AI, inventory locations recommended from picking and sales trends, and intelligent routing on the pick path - live in Sync WMS today, for your own warehouse or alongside your 3PLs.

AI-optimized waves

Waves built for the floor, not the order queue.

The agent groups open orders into picking waves optimized by AI - reading the orders, the locations and the floor - so pickers work waves that make sense in space, not just in sequence.

  • Open orders grouped into AI-optimized picking waves
  • Wave build reads orders, locations and the floor together
  • Runs live inside Sync WMS - scanning, packing and ASNs downstream

Smart slotting

Stock lives where the picking says it should.

Location recommendations come from picking and sales trends - what actually moves, and where the walk time goes - so the fast movers migrate toward the pick face instead of gathering dust in the back.

  • Fast movers surfaced for placement near the pick face

What it optimizes

Three optimizations, live on the floor

All three run in Sync WMS today - not a roadmap.

Wave picking

Open orders grouped into AI-optimized picking waves that make sense on the floor.

Location recommendations

Slotting proposed from picking and sales trends - fast movers migrate to the pick face.

Intelligent routing

The pick path routed intelligently per wave, against the live layout.

Inside Sync WMS

Handheld scanning, directed picking, scan-based packing and ASNs run downstream of every wave.

How it runs

Scheduled inside Sync. Answerable from your assistant.

Sync AI agents run on a schedule inside Sync itself, against live data and within your existing Sync permission settings - the same roles and access your team already uses, with no side door. What an agent surfaces or creates is visible in Sync before it flows anywhere downstream.

And because Sync speaks MCP natively, you can interrogate everything an agent finds from the assistant you already use - Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok - through Sync MCP. The agent does the watching. You do the asking.

The full agent team

One agent per desk. Seven desks.

The WMS Agent works alongside six others, each watching its own desk inside Sync. Pick the next one.

FAQ

The WMS Agent, answered.

What does the Sync AI WMS Agent do?

Three things, all live in Sync WMS today: it builds AI-optimized picking waves from open orders, recommends inventory locations from picking and sales trends, and routes the pick path intelligently per wave. Scanning, packing and ASNs run downstream inside Sync WMS.

How often does the agent run?

Sync AI agents run on a schedule you set - hourly, nightly, weekly, or on the cadence that matches the work. Each run checks live Sync data, not a stale snapshot.

What can the agent see and touch?

An agent works within your existing Sync permission settings - the same roles and access controls your team already uses. Everything it surfaces or creates is visible in Sync before it flows anywhere downstream.

Does this work if we use a 3PL?

Sync supports both models. Brands running their own warehouse get the WMS Agent on their floor; brands using 3PLs run those operations through Sync's 3PL integrations with inventory reconciliation. Own warehouse or 3PL is your call - Sync runs either way.

Can we ask questions about what it finds?

Yes. Sync speaks MCP natively, so you can interrogate any agent's findings from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Grok through Sync MCP - drill into a flag, ask for the why, or pull the detail behind a number.

How do we get it?

The agents are part of the Sync AI layer of the Sync platform. Book a demo and we will configure it against a real product range so you can see what it catches on data like yours.
