Interactive 3D floorplan

Design zones, shelves and spots. View your warehouse in isometric 3D or top-down 2D.

Find any item instantly

Search by name, barcode or tag. The app navigates you to the shelf and compartment.

Shelf-level accuracy

Track stock per compartment. See what's in shelf A1, row 2, position 3.

The challenge

You can't manage what you can't see

Most warehouses run on spreadsheets, paper maps or memory. Nobody can tell you exactly what's in compartment B3 of shelf 4 in zone A. Without a visual system that tracks stock per spot, every location question becomes a walk through the warehouse.

Why it matters

Stop managing locations on paper

How Beam transforms your warehouse

Design your floorplan right in the app, configure shelves down to individual compartments, and search any item by name, barcode or tag. The app navigates you directly to the exact spot.

  • Interactive 3D floorplan with 15+ zone types
  • Shelf grids with labeled compartments (A1, B2, C3)
  • Search any item and navigate to its exact spot
  • Bulk move items between locations in seconds

Most warehouses run on spreadsheets, sticky notes, or the memory of whoever has been here the longest. Nobody can tell you what's in compartment B3 of shelf 4 in zone A without physically walking there. Beam replaces all of that with an interactive visual system.
