Overview
JTL-Wawi is an inventory management system for multichannel sellers with its own shop system, POS solution and optional warehouse management system (JTL-WMS). The JTL Start edition is free; orders from marketplaces and external shops are billed via order packages. The local version runs on Windows; a cloud version is available at extra cost.
Well suited for
- Sellers with their own Windows computer or server who want to start with low fixed costs
- Sellers who want to connect many marketplaces incl. TikTok Shop and Temu
- Sellers with high volume and a professional warehouse (JTL-WMS, mobile devices, AutoStore)
- Sellers with a physical shop (POS) or their own JTL shop
Less suited for
- Mac users without Windows: this requires the cloud version from €49.99 per month
