WarehousePacking

Web-based packing control system consisting of a Blazor Server UI and a dedicated ASP.NET Core Web API.

The solution retrieves the contents of logistic units from a WMS, supports warehouse operators during packing, generates shipping labels, and creates parcels/shipments in Comarch ERP XL.

Solution structure

• WarehousePacking.Server (net8.0) – Blazor web application (UI)
• WarehousePacking.API (net8.0) – Web API used by the UI and integrations
• WarehousePacking.Shared (net8.0) – shared contracts/models used by both UI and API
• WarehousePacking.API.Tests (net9.0) – automated tests for the API
• WarehousePacking.PrintService (.NET Framework 4.8) – Windows printing/label related helper service

Key features (high level)

• Import/read logistic unit content from WMS
• Warehouse packing workflow (scanning, packing control, creating/closing parcels)
• Shipping label generation/printing support
• Courier integrations (as implemented in the API): DPD, DPD Romania, GLS, FedEx (REST + SOAP)
• Creating parcels/shipments in Comarch ERP XL
• Email notifications via SMTP

Tech stack

• Blazor (WarehousePacking.Server)
• ASP.NET Core Web API (WarehousePacking.API)
• .NET 8 shared library (WarehousePacking.Shared)
• .NET Framework 4.8 desktop component (WarehousePacking.PrintService)
• Data access: Dapper + Microsoft.Data.SqlClient
• Logging: Serilog
• API docs: Swagger (Swashbuckle)
• Resilience: Polly

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK 8.x (to run WarehousePacking.Server and WarehousePacking.API)
• .NET SDK 9.x (only required to build/run WarehousePacking.API.Tests)
• Visual Studio 2022 (recommended)
• Windows + .NET Framework 4.8 Developer Pack (to build WarehousePacking.PrintService)
• Access/configuration for:
  • WMS endpoints
  • Comarch ERP XL integration endpoints
  • SQL Server (if used by your environment)

Configuration

Configuration is stored in appsettings.json / appsettings.*.json in the API and Server projects.

UI (WarehousePacking.Server)

Configured in WarehousePacking.Server/appsettings.json:

• Apis:Database:BaseUrl — base URL of the API/backend called by the UI.
• Apis:Database:ApiKey — API key sent as X-Api-Key.
• CrystalReports — report templates and DB access used for printing (labels/invoices).

API (WarehousePacking.API)

Configured in WarehousePacking.API/appsettings.json:

• ConnectionStrings — connections to ERP XL.
• WMSApi — WMS base URL and token.
• CourierApis — sender information and credentials for courier providers.
• Smtp — SMTP configuration.

Typical configuration is done via appsettings.json / appsettings.*.json in the API and Server projects (connection strings, WMS/ERP endpoints, authentication settings, etc.).
