WMS365 Scanner

Shared, login-free inventory scanner for desktop and mobile.

What Changed

• The frontend is still a single responsive HTML app.
• Shared inventory and activity now live on the server.
• The open scan batch and last location stay local in the browser until you save the batch.
• The backend is an Express API that stores data in PostgreSQL, which makes it a good fit for Railway.

Railway Setup

1. Create a Railway project for this app.
2. Add a PostgreSQL database to the project.
3. Expose the database connection string to the app service as DATABASE_PRIVATE_URL or DATABASE_URL.
4. Deploy this folder as a Node service.
5. Start command: npm start

The server listens on Railway's PORT value automatically.

Local Run

1. Install dependencies with npm install
2. Set DATABASE_URL to a PostgreSQL database
3. Run npm start
