VertiNodeĀ® Connects WhiteCroft Lighting's Warehouse with SAP System
WhiteCroft Lighting, a UK-based specialist in lighting solutions, has modernized its warehouse operations with the installation of four Compact vertical lifts, supplied by Randex, the official UK distributor of Weland Solutions.
At the core of the system is the VertiNodeĀ® Warehouse Control System by VertiFlex, which ensures seamless integration of the lifts into WhiteCroftās internal SAP system. The connection is established via iDoc interface, enabling smooth and secure data exchange between the storage technology and the companyās ERP platform.
VertiNodeĀ® provides advanced automation and control over warehouse operations, including:
- intelligent management of Compact vertical lifts,
- real-time, bidirectional communication with SAP,
- faster and more accurate order picking,
- live inventory visibility and tracking.
With VertiNodeĀ® in place, the warehouse has achieved greater efficiency, data transparency, and fully automated operations without the need for manual input.

Authentica Fulfillment
VertiNodeĀ® controls the largest robotic fulfillment warehouse in the Czech Republic
In 2024, Authentica Fulfillment responded to the growing demand for its e-commerce logistics services by investing in a fully automated robotic warehouse. At the heart of the entire solution is the VertiNodeĀ® warehouse control system developed by VertiFlex.
VertiNodeĀ® serves as the integration platform that connects and controls all delivered technologiesāfrom P40 transport robots and RS11 vertical storage robots, to conveyor systems, Pick-to-Light zones, automated labeling and sorting, and SKU measurement via Verti.Metric.
Through a REST API interface, VertiNodeĀ® communicates bidirectionally with Authenticaās in-house WMS. In real-time, it enables:
- Optimization of tote transport routes using ABC turnover analysis,
- Order picking planning and execution (APS/MIS/MES),
- Maintenance management (via the CMMS module),
- Minimization of manual labor and increased operational efficiency.
Thanks to the implementation of VertiNodeĀ® and full automation, the warehouse can now process up to 20,000 orders per day, aiming to reach 500,000 orders per month. The solution has become the most extensive robotic fulfillment warehouse in the Czech Republic.
