For Fulfillment Partners
Most "free WMS" options are spreadsheets in disguise, open-source projects that need an engineer, or trial tiers that stop at a few hundred orders. Fulfield includes a full warehouse management system — receiving, box and pallet inventory, barcode and phone scanning, pick and pack, returns, billing, and payouts — free to operators, because the marketplace earns a commission on fulfilled work instead of selling software.
Yes, when the software is funded by a different business model. Fulfield does not charge a license, seat, or module fee: the platform earns a commission on services operators bill through the marketplace, so the WMS itself is free to use.
Inbound receiving with pallet, carton, and item-level workflows, box and pallet inventory with locations, barcode and AI photo scanning (including a phone-scan handoff), pick and pack with per-box reservations, returns intake, label printing, recounts, and automated billing with payouts.
The system is built around marketplace fulfillment: you use it to serve clients you contract with on Fulfield. If you only need standalone software for private warehousing with no client billing, a traditional WMS may fit better.
Question-Led Guide
The common free options each hide a cost that shows up after you depend on them.
The software is the infrastructure of a fulfillment marketplace, not the product being sold.
The workflows mirror the physical warehouse, including mobile scanning for the floor.
FAQ
No. Any phone camera works as a barcode and AI scanner through the secure phone-scan handoff. Standard thermal printers (4x6) and letter printers are supported for labels.
No. There are no order, SKU, or seat caps. The platform earns from commissions on billed services, not from usage tiers.
The system is organized around client contracts, so client work is the primary model. Many operators also store their own goods as a separate client account.
Apply as a fulfillment partner, get approved, publish your services and pricing, and the WMS is active from your first inbound shipment.
