Currently, when a user starts a job and then declares an indirect activity (e.g., attending a meeting), the job is interrupted, and feedback is prompted. Once the indirect activity ends, the original job is no longer immediately accessible or resumable. This forces users to manually search for and restart the job, which introduces delays and inefficiencies.

Implementing the feature would:

  • Eliminate manual job tracking, reducing reliance on pen-and-paper workarounds.
  • Enable automatic job resumption, allowing users to return to their previous task seamlessly.
  • Reduce downtime between activities, improving overall throughput in warehouse operations.
  • Businesses could see faster order fulfillment.
  • Labor utilization would improve.
  • Support costs might decrease due to fewer user errors and escalations.


This consistency would:

  • Simplify training for new users.
  • Encourage adoption of the new blue screen interface.
  • Avoid system waiting states, which currently occur between stopping and restarting jobs.
