The core objectives of our development - personalization and usability
With the new version of our ERP system, we wanted above all to do justice to the individuality of your business. Thanks to many years of exchange with the JTL community, we know that no two retailers are the same and that processes can change quickly within a company. For this reason, we have developed JTL-Wawi 1.6 in such a way that you can fine-tune numerous areas in order to optimally adapt the ERP system to your workflow. At the same time, it was important to us to ensure the best possible usability – a challenge we were happy to take on with such a diverse software.
JTL-Wawi 1.6: ERP developed with and for you
Of course, we could not achieve this height of customizability and practical relevance in the “quiet room”. Without your feedback, we would never have been able to improve JTL-Wawi 1.6 in this way. Whether in the JTL forum, on Facebook, via support tickets or in direct discussions with pilot customers, we have developed this version for you and with you. We are proud that we can live our approach of community-driven development so intensively. JTL Managing Director Ralph Schweiker would also like to thank you for this:
In no other version of our ERP system have we implemented as many feature and improvement requests from our customers as in JTL-Wawi 1.6. The continuous dialog with the JTL community is the basis of our innovative strength. Many thanks to all users who have contributed to JTL-Wawi 1.6. At the same time we know: Before the release is after the release. That’s why I’m excited to see what ideas we will realize together. I look forward to the future!

JTL-Wawi 1.6 awaits you. So that you can update to the new version quickly, safely and smoothly, Product Owner Manuel Pietzsch answers the most pressing questions at the start of the webinar theme week: What preparations do you need to make? What are the first and most important to-dos? How long will the update take and how do I react if a problem does occur? After this warm-up, you will be well prepared for your switch to JTL-Wawi 1.6.
JTL-Wawi 1.6 comes with over 40 new functions. It’s easy to lose your bearings. To prevent this from happening to you, Manuel Pietzsch presents all the new features one after the other in this webinar and explains how they will affect your future day-to-day business. 40 functions in 60 minutes? Anyone who knows Manuel knows that’s possible! And of course there will be time for your questions.
Sales is one of the core areas of your ERP system. That’s why we have added numerous practical functions and customization options to it in JTL-Wawi 1.6 and optimized the overall handling. Developer Markus Hütz will guide you step by step through the new subscriptions and order details 2.0. There will also be a strong focus on the topic of invoices: You’ll learn how to create partial invoices, how to fix invoices or how to change them in accordance with the law.
Item management in JTL-Wawi is the heart of your retail business. The maintenance of your products should be correspondingly efficient and user-friendly. JTL veteran Michael Spaltmann from our support team knows your needs very well and explains in this webinar what new possibilities JTL-Wawi 1.6 has in store for you – for example when creating variation combinations, your own list views and when using labels for product maintenance.
With the conditional formatting in JTL-Wawi 1.6, you can highlight numbers and transactions according to your requirements. You not only have the entire color spectrum at your disposal, but also numerous symbols and fonts.

He will show you how to determine your minimum and maximum stock levels per warehouse and what has changed with JTL-Wawi 1.6 in the purchase lists.
In order to reach the largest possible customer groups in eCommerce, listings on large online marketplaces are essential. As of JTL-Wawi 1.6, you can use the integrated interface to serve other high-reach marketplaces such as Kaufland.de in addition to Amazon and eBay. The corresponding interface is now available as an open beta version. Otto.de will follow in the coming weeks. In this webinar, Dominic Nelle, the Product Owner of our marketplace connection, will tell you first-hand how this works and what else you should know about the new JTL-Wawi “Platforms” area.
Your feedback is worth its weight in gold for us. That’s why our webinar theme weeks will conclude with a YouTube live event on June 3 at 1 pm. Manuel is looking forward to answering your questions and demonstrating new click paths in the software live:
“Last but not least”, we have of course also fed the JTL-Guide with extensive information and instructions for JTL-Wawi 1.6, including a practical checklist for the update:
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. That’s why all that remains for us to say is: See JTL-Wawi 1.6 for yourself and download the new version free of charge! As a little incentive, we’ll end with a quote from our pilot customer, David Meusel from J+A Handel:
Why didn’t we switch to JTL-Wawi earlier? It’s simple: until now, ERP never bidder us the right range of functions. Thanks to the many new features in JTL-Wawi 1.6, such as the customer-specific category discounts, we are now really taking off!
