NOT ANOTHER SCANNER.
A COPILOT.
Adaptive guidance on smart glasses,
like a trainer at every worker's side.
It adapts to every worker
The copilot watches picks per hour, errors, and hesitation, and moves each worker through three tiers automatically.
Day one. Full step by step narration with voice guidance, in English or Spanish. Nothing to memorize.
Getting the hang of it. Guidance thins out on its own: key steps only, every pick still verified. The copilot steps back as confidence grows.
A veteran's screen. Two lines: bin and quantity. Silence unless something is wrong.
No supervisor setting. No worker choice to make. The transition is automatic. Designed to make a first day worker productive in under one hour [APXR DESIGN TARGET].

It speaks SAP natively
Native bidirectional integration with SAP classic WM and SAP EWM. Warehouse orders flow in, pick confirmations flow back, with queue, stockout, and priority handling. No middleware. Built by a founder with 20 years of SAP warehouse implementation experience, configured in days rather than months. Pilots can start in read only shadow mode while IT review runs in parallel.
Integration path
It blocks wrong picks before they happen
Camera based barcode verification confirms the bin and the item before a pick can proceed. Wrong bin, wrong item, and short picks are caught at the shelf, not at the pack station. Verification runs on the device and keeps working through WiFi dead zones.

The Problem
Warehouses do not have a labor problem. They have a ramp problem.
Operators cannot hire their way out of turnover. Every departure restarts the same cycle: recruit, train for days, absorb errors, repeat. The technology guiding frontline workers has not changed the math in thirty years.

That is the gap you just watched the copilot close. Here is the math.
The Math
Built on published research. Priced to be an easy yes.
Independent peer reviewed research measured AR guided picking against RF scanning, in a controlled test and on a live floor. We show both numbers, and we model on the live one.
Peer-reviewed · Epe et al., Logistics, 2024

Picking errors: pick by vision averages 0.08% across published studies, against 0.39% for scan based picking.
Epe et al., Logistics 2024, 8, 106. Measured at a European 3PL with generic pick by vision, not APXR Pick. The error figures are averages the study compiled from prior published research, not a floor measurement.
APXR projection
For a 200 worker reference site, applying the live operations gain with conservative error and onboarding inputs, we project $1.2M to $2.1M in annual savings against a $180K subscription. A 7 to 12x return, payback in one to two months. We model on the live floor number, not the lab number.
APXR projection built on peer reviewed inputs. We publish our own measured baseline versus APXR results when the pilot completes, regardless of outcome.
$75 per user per month. $65 per user per month for 201+ seats. Founding Pilot: $9,999 flat for 90 days, fully creditable to the first rollout.
How It Works
Live in days, not quarters.
Step 1
Connect
We configure the SAP connector against your landscape, classic WM or EWM, typically in days. Pilots start in read only shadow mode, so workers experience the copilot while your IT security review runs in parallel.
SAP EWM · CONNECTED · SHADOW MODE
Step 2
Guide
Workers put on the glasses and pick. The copilot narrates each task at the depth each worker needs, in English or Spanish, hands free. Barcode verification confirms every bin and item.

Step 3
Measure
The supervisor dashboard shows picks, error rates, and each worker's ramp in real time. Baseline versus APXR measurement starts on day one, so the rollout decision is made on your numbers, not ours.
PICK CONFIRMED · RECORDED IN SAP
Supervisor Dashboard
The whole floor, without walking the floor.
Representative displays, not screenshots.
Live Floor
Every active worker in real time: zone, tier, pace, and errors. The state of the shift in one screen, pulled straight from the picks as they happen.
Shift Summary
The end of shift story, plus a live exception feed. Stockouts, shorts, and blocked picks with what happened, where, and when.
Worker Detail
One worker's ramp curve: pace and errors over time, and the exact moment the copilot changed their tier. The onboarding conversation, with data in it.
Onboarding
Every new hire from their first pick. See who is ramping on their own and who needs a human, without hovering over anyone's shoulder.
Device Fleet
Every pair of glasses: who has it, battery, and sync state. Swap a device mid shift without losing a pick, and know every confirmation reached SAP.
FAQ
Which warehouse systems do you support?
SAP classic WM and SAP EWM, both with native bidirectional integration. SAP Stock Room Management is on the roadmap. If you are mid migration from classic WM to EWM, APXR Pick runs on what you have today and survives the migration.
What does IT need to approve?
Connecting to a live SAP landscape triggers a security review, typically 4 to 10 weeks. We ship an IT prerequisites pack at signature so that review starts on day one, and pilots begin in read only shadow mode, which needs minimal access while workers experience the product.
How long does deployment take?
Connector configuration typically runs in days. The pacing item is your IT review, which is why shadow mode exists.
What languages does the copilot speak?
English and Spanish at launch. Warehouse data such as bin labels stays in its source language to match the shelf.
Does it monitor individual workers?
The copilot adapts to each worker's pace, and supervisors see operational metrics. There is no facial recognition and no individual shaming by design. Analytics are aggregate first.
What happens in WiFi dead zones?
Picking continues from the cached queue, verification runs on the device, and confirmations sync back to SAP when coverage returns. No lost picks, no double confirmations.
What about comfort, batteries, and sharing devices across shifts?
The research is blunt about first generation AR picking: ergonomics was the top adoption barrier, driven by tethered battery packs, one sided weight, and eye strain, with 77.6% overall acceptance. Our hardware choices answer that record directly. The Vuzix LX1 is a lightweight monocular device purpose built for full shift picking with no tethered pack. Devices get per worker fit adjustment and are cleaned between shifts, and the Android tablet fallback exists for any worker who should not wear glasses. Worker acceptance is measured in every pilot and reported with the results.
What is a seat? Do I pay per worker or per device?
A seat is one active licensed user. Devices are separate and are typically shared across shifts, so a 200 worker site running three shifts does not need 200 pairs of glasses. When a worker leaves, the seat is reassigned to the replacement at no charge.
What does it cost?
$75 per user per month, and $65 per user per month for 201+ seats, plus a one time activation fee per site. The Founding Pilot is $9,999 flat for 90 days and fully creditable to the first rollout contract.
Founding Pilot
$9,999. Ninety days. Your data decides.
Three founding pilot slots. We bring the glasses, configure the SAP connector, and run baseline versus APXR measurement with success criteria agreed before signature. The fee is fully creditable to your first rollout contract. If the numbers do not convince your team, you keep the report and walk away.
