UI Navigation

Vectis is designed for warehouse operators who need to move fast. Here’s how to navigate the interface.

Dashboard

The dashboard is your home screen. It shows:

Orders requiring attention — Exceptions, holds, failed allocations
Today’s metrics — Orders received, shipped, pending
Inventory alerts — Low stock, negative inventory, reorder points hit
Recent activity — Last 10 actions across your team

The dashboard updates in real-time. No refresh needed.

The left sidebar provides access to all modules:

Section	What’s There
Orders	Order list, order detail, bulk actions
Packages	Package list, shipping queue, label printing
Inventory	Stock levels, adjustments, transfers, locations
Products	Product catalog, import/export, dimensions
Warehouses	Warehouse config, locations, box inventory
Channels	Sales channel integrations, sync status
Reports	Order reports, inventory reports, exports
Settings	Users, API keys, integrations, routing rules

Click any section to expand subsections.

Global Search

Press / or Cmd+K (Mac) / Ctrl+K (Windows) to open global search.

Search across:

Mobile phones can view order status but aren’t recommended for order processing.
