Introducing the Command Palette

Moving quickly inside your warehouse software matters. When teams are picking, shipping, replenishing, or answering customer questions, every extra click adds up.

That’s why we built the Command Palette in Warehance.

With a simple keyboard shortcut—Cmd+K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows—you can instantly navigate, search, and launch the most common workflows from anywhere in the platform. No sidebar browsing. No menu hunting. Just type and go.

Why We Built It

As operations grow, so does the number of pages, reports, and workflows teams rely on every day. Even with great navigation, clicking between screens slows people down—especially power users who already know exactly where they want to be.

The Command Palette removes that friction by turning Warehance into a keyboard-first experience.

What You Can Do with the Command Palette

Think of it as a universal control center for the app.

Open the palette and you can:

  • Jump to pages
  • Start key warehouse workflows
  • Search across records
  • Rediscover tools using natural keywords

All without leaving your current screen.

Instant Navigation

Need to reach Orders? Products? Shipments? Inventory?

Instead of clicking through the sidebar, open the palette and start typing. Matching destinations appear immediately, letting you move anywhere in seconds.

For teams that switch contexts frequently, this alone can save minutes every hour.

Launch High-Frequency Actions Faster

Some actions happen dozens—or hundreds—of times per day.

The Command Palette places critical workflows front and center, including:

  • Create New Order
  • Start Picking Session
  • Start Shipping Session

A quick keystroke and you’re in.

Small time savings per task turn into major efficiency gains across an entire team.

Universal Search Across Warehance

The palette isn’t just for navigation—it’s also a powerful search tool.

From one entry point, users can find:

  • Orders
  • Products
  • Shipments
  • Returns
  • Stores
  • Inventory

There’s no need to visit a specific page first. Just open the palette, type, and locate what you need instantly.

Find Things Even If You Forget the Name

Commands are built with intuitive keyword matching.

For example:

  • Type stock → jump to Inventory
  • Type carrier → find Shipping Methods
  • Type rma → go to Returns

You don’t have to remember the exact page title. Warehance meets you where you are.

Recent Searches Make Repeat Work Instant

The Command Palette remembers your last ten searches and surfaces them every time you open it.

If you frequently check the same order, SKU, or shipment, it’s now just two keystrokes away.

Designed for Power Users

Navigate with arrow keys.
Press Enter to select.
Hit Escape to close.

If you prefer working from the keyboard, you can now fly through Warehance without breaking your flow.

Why This Matters

The Command Palette helps teams:

  • Reduce training time for new users
  • Move faster through repetitive workflows
  • Find information without guesswork
  • Work more efficiently as order volume grows

It’s a small feature that makes a big impact the more you use it.
