Since the release of the first warehouse management system (WMS), these systems have been systematically developed and improved to optimize warehouse operations, including inventory management, order fulfillment, receiving, picking, packing, and shipping. Among the many well-documented and well-known WMS systems, there are other systems with a similar level of maturity and comparable functionality, but not as popular, but still very appealing. Such a system is Pinquark, the flagship product of one of the leading Polish software vendors. In this sense, the aim of this article is to present its main features and discuss its further development. In particular, we introduce and outline the idea of reorienting warehouse management from a process-based to an activity-based approach. In this context, we discuss the preliminary results obtained through the study of contemporary literature, including methods addressing vehicle routing and product allocation problems.
