About us

Logistics people who build software.

Not the other way around.

In 1990 our founder, David Whitt, was laid off soon after moving to South Florida. He started selling mobile computers and barcode scanners on his own. He saw quickly that the software is what makes the hardware useful, so he wrote his own warehouse management system. That was the start of Wireless Data Systems.

We have worked the same way since: listen, learn, adapt. That is how we ended up in elections, cable installation and cruise lines.

Today we start every customer on a base system, one for warehousing and one for elections, with years of field changes built in. It covers most of what most operations need. We customize from there, which keeps your cost down.

How we work

Put the customer first. Learn how they actually work. Keep improving from there.

We learn first

Before we show you the software, we learn your operation. Your account manager keeps doing that through setup and support.

Your own instance

Your own copy of the application, your own URL and your own database. Nothing is shared.

Walk before you run

Start on the base system. Learn what fits and what does not. Then we customize.

One point of contact

A dedicated account manager who knows your operation, plus regular status calls for questions and updates.

Improvements at no charge

New screens, new modules and faster processes in the base system reach you free.

Customization is normal here

Our systems are built to change quickly and affordably. If we can resell a change, we discount it or do it free.

System Administration Module

Lookups that all work the same way.

Learn it once

Every lookup screen has the same layout. Learn one and you know them all.

Search, sort, export

Search and sort on every column. Reorder or hide columns. Export from any page.*

Add, edit and look back

Manage locations, items and users. See current inventory, and the chain of custody for every scan.

*We are updating a few older lookups. Most have these features today.

Dashboards

Where things stand, at a glance.

Live, visual dashboards for each process. See which sites are done, which are behind and what is still out.

Handheld module

Fewer steps. Fewer mistakes.

Simple menus

Menus can be set per role or user, so people only see the functions they use.

Scan first

Barcode scanning is the main input. Where a scan is not possible, buttons replace typing to cut errors.

Every input is checked

A wrong scan shows a clear message and plays a loud sound. The user acknowledges it before going on. That matters on a noisy floor.

Use your own devices

Runs in any modern browser, with nothing to install. Works with most scanners and handhelds.*

*RFID requires specific devices. Some scanner setup is usually needed.
