## The three acts

3. Match to the order
4. Put away

**Processing**

1. Pick
2. Transform
3. Record the change

**Dispatching**

2. Verify against the order
3. Load
4. Ship

## What is in this book

**Apps** covers the software an operator holds: the Traceability Platform app
that drives every crate activity, the delivery audit flow, and attendance.

**Data uploads** covers the files an administrator loads into the platform -
SKUs, price lists, child items, and the PLU and price updates that keep a
labeling device printing the right figure.
