Integrations

Floormode is one of three apps that can share a warehouse. Each owns a different part of the job, and the split is deliberate: one app owns each document, so nobody has to reconcile two systems that both think they are right.

The division of labour

App	Owns	Typical documents
Logistified	Procurement — what to buy and from whom	Purchase orders, suppliers, transfer orders, stock takes
Assemblified	Production — what to build and from what	Work orders, bills of materials, bundles
Floormode	The physical warehouse and everything outbound	Receipts, bins, picks, packs, shipments, returns

The rule that follows from the table is worth stating on its own:

If it is physical, it happens in Floormode. If it is a commitment — to a supplier, or to a build — it happens in the sibling.

A purchase order is a promise to a supplier, so it lives in Logistified. The pallet that turns up against it is physical, so it is received in Floormode. A work order is a plan to build something, so it lives in Assemblified. The components someone walks around the building collecting are physical, so they are picked in Floormode.

Customer communication belongs to Floormode too. Neither sibling emails your customers.

What that means in practice

Nothing is entered twice. Documents raised in a sibling announce themselves in Floormode as work to do, and Floormode reports back what physically happened:

A purchase order in Logistified becomes an expected delivery in Floormode receiving, complete with supplier and expected date.
A work order in Assemblified becomes a production pick on the floor.
What the floor actually received or picked travels back to the sibling, so the document there stays honest without anyone retyping it.
Goods the sibling owns but Shopify has never heard of — raw materials, sub-assemblies, custom items — are stocked here as local items, in real bins, counted like anything else.

Messages between the apps are queued and confirmed rather than fired and forgotten. If a sibling is unreachable, the work waits and retries; a switched-off sibling gets nothing — see Parked and held.

The pages in this chapter

Run Floormode with Logistified and Assemblified The setup guide: install order, the switches, receiving, work orders, packaging, lots, FEFO and the connection states.

Logistified Purchase orders and transfers arriving as expected deliveries, and receiving progress reported back.

Assemblified Work orders announcing component picks, staged components, and finished goods coming back into stock.

What changes when connected Screen by screen: what looks different once a sibling is connected, and what stays exactly the same.

Who writes Shopify The single-writer rule, why double-writes cause drift, and how to check nobody has been left out.

Bundles and kits Picking a kit's components when there is no finished one on the shelf, and how that reads on the order.

Local items Raw materials, sub-assemblies and custom items: stocked here, never on Shopify, and always in a bin.

Integration health Connection status, queued and waiting messages, and the warning that says nobody is writing Shopify.

Parked and held What happens when a sibling is not answering, and why a switched-off one gets nothing.

Activation Connecting the apps, what switches itself on, how to verify it, and what stops when you disconnect.

Standalone Floormode without siblings: what works, what stays empty, and what connecting later does not backfill.

If you run Floormode on its own

Everything in Floormode works without either sibling. Expected deliveries can be entered by hand, replenishment exports CSV for any supplier, and holds record a document reference whether or not that document lives in another app.

Standalone is the honest account of which surfaces stay empty until you connect something — and of what connecting later does and does not bring with it.
