Nancy, forklift operator
Nancy works as a forklift operator in the warehouse. She uses a handheld scanner and the Storage Mobile App to check out handling units from the Incoming Goods area, transport them to the high-bay warehouse and then check them in at their storage location.

Nancy can start the process in two ways. She can either scan the handling unit directly and then relocate it or scan/select the location, which will then display a list of all the handling units stored at that location. Then she can choose the specific handling unit she wants to move. Nancy chooses the second option.
