Platform

Built so the warehouse never waits for the software.

Kulmen runs on a microservices architecture: authentication, master data, configuration, storage and material handling are self-contained services with their own databases, deployed independently behind API gateways. Users work in a browser-based interface or on Android handhelds, and external systems connect through ready-to-use APIs.

Questions

Frequently asked

Not covered here? Ask our engineers.

Is Kulmen the same product as Acme Plus?

Yes. Kulmen is the new name for the platform previously known as Acme Plus. Existing installations continue on the same architecture under the new name.

Can one service be upgraded without stopping the warehouse?

Kulmen is built on self-contained microservices that are deployed independently, so a single service can be upgraded or modified without redeploying the rest of the platform.

Which languages does the interface support?

The interface is multilingual, and each user sees it in their own language with role-based access to the functions they need.
