WarehouseWise
Bothy · On-site continuity
Keep your sites trading when the internet drops.
An internet outage shouldn't close the tills, stop the pickers, or halt the line. Bothy is a small gateway that sits in your building and is designed to keep the site working until the connection comes back.
What happens during an outage
Watch it play, or cut the connection yourself, ring a few sales, then bring it back.
01 · Connected
Business as usual
Sales, picks, and clock-ins flow to WarehouseWise as normal.
02 · Connection lost
Staff carry on
Bothy keeps the site working and records each sale, pick, and clock-in as it happens.
03 · Back online
Records catch up
Recorded work is sent on in the order it happened, so your records stay complete.

One link on site
Connects the equipment and systems you already run
Tills, scanners, printers, warehouse automation, production machines, time clocks, and building systems connect to Bothy over your own network. It is also the link to on-site business systems such as accounting and banking.
Secure by design
Nothing on site is opened up to the internet
Bothy only makes outgoing connections. Your IT team manages your sites from Atrium, with the same company sign-in as the rest of WarehouseWise.
From one site to many
Set up once, roll out by region
Sites are grouped by region and type, set up from templates, and updated in planned waves that avoid your busiest trading periods.

Questions
Do we need Bothy to use WarehouseWise?
No. The suite works without it. Bothy is for sites where losing the internet would stop trading, picking, or production.
Does it replace our internet connection?
No. It keeps the site working when your connection fails, and catches up once it returns.
What happens to work done while we're offline?
It is kept on site and sent on in the order it happened once the connection is back.
Does it work with the self-hosted edition?
Yes. Bothy works with both the hosted and self-hosted editions.
