Every AIMS360 release in plain English: what changed, which problem it fixes, and where to learn more. This page is updated with every release.
How often does AIMS360 update? AIMS360 ships a core release every few months, with updates to the Runway web app in between. So far in 2026 that's five core releases, in January, May, June, September and October, plus six Runway updates. Counting Runway, the AI connection and the RemoteLink iPad app, AIMS360 has shipped updates in eight months of 2026: January, March, May, June, August, September, October and November. Every customer gets each release as part of their plan, with no upgrade fee and no upgrade project to schedule. The RemoteLink iPad app updates through the App Store.
Every change is tagged with where you'll find it: AIMS360 Windows Cloud App, the AIMS360 Runway web app, the API, the AI connection (MCP), or the RemoteLink iPad app.
Bealls rebuilt its EDI program for bealls off-price and Bealls Florida, and every carton now needs a new GS1-128 label. We're in the final stretch on both, so you can pass Bealls' retest and keep orders moving. Selling to Bealls? Email support@aims360.com with your go-live date and we'll line your setup up to hit it.
The AI connection for ChatGPT, Claude and Grok is next. The November 2026 update, version 26.11.02, is planned to let you set up styles from a chat, get the full detail on each style color, and ask about RMAs and purchase orders. The December 2026 update, version 26.12.02, is planned to let you create pick tickets, invoices and vendor POs from a chat, post receipts, check open to sell (OTS), see style images, and connect ChatGPT and Claude without typing in client credentials.

As of November 2026, the AI connection (MCP connector for ChatGPT, Claude and Grok) can create and update sales orders and customers in AIMS360, not just read them. It can also look up your cut tickets and pick tickets.
A buyer sends an order and someone retypes every line into AIMS360. Now you describe the order in plain English, the AI builds it, and you approve it before anything saves.
Add a new customer the same way, or update an order or a customer when something changes. Every create or update shows a preview and waits for your approval, and you only see the tools your company has turned on for you.
What you get: no more retyping orders, and every change checked by you before it saves.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI lookups | AI MCP | Ask ChatGPT, Claude or Grok about your cut tickets and pick tickets. Search them, or pull up one with its details, right from the chat. | See what's in production and what's ready to pick without opening AIMS360. | AI assistants |
October brings your custom fields (user defined fields) and batch picking to the AIMS360 Runway web app, along with Runway Codes, Body Codes, packed quantity, invoice lookup, a reorganized Runway menu with Favorites and a Refresh button on Runway grids, a default bin for Runway scan to verify, a duplicate customer PO control coming to the RemoteLink iPad app, plus automatic EDI 860 PO changes, one-pass bulk invoices by PO, DC and factor, a true summary on the credit memo journal, codes you can mark Inactive instead of renaming, and a rebuilt Brandboom integration.
When a dozen orders share the same styles, your pickers walk the same aisles a dozen times. Batch picking in Runway ends that.
Choose how many pick tickets go in the batch and who's picking, and Runway grabs the top tickets in the order your grid is already sorted. Your picker gets one list of every style, color and size with the total to pull, scans each unit to verify, and Runway fills the oldest ticket first so nothing gets over-picked. When the pull is done, Runway walks them through each ticket to box it or rack it.
What you get: fewer trips, faster picks, and the right units on the right tickets.
Picking optimizationYou built custom fields, also called user defined fields or UDFs, in AIMS360 to track the details that make your business run. Now they show up in Runway too.
Add any custom field as a column in Runway grids for orders, pick tickets, customers, styles and vendor POs, then filter by it. Each one shows under your company's own field name, so nobody learns a new label. It's live in Runway 2026.10.06.00 and later.
What you get: your own data in front of the people who need it, with no screen switching.
Custom fields (user defined fields)
AIMS360 already brings your Brandboom orders in. October 2026 rebuilds the connection on Brandboom's latest API as an app you install from the AIMS360 app store, so your line sheets stop drifting from what's in the warehouse.
Connect it with your Brandboom API key, pick the open to sell (OTS) template that sets the inventory Brandboom shows, and map your payment terms and ship vias to Brandboom's. Then match styles: the app lists your active style colors that aren't mapped yet, and Auto Map finds the ones already in Brandboom by SKU for you to approve, or you map them by hand. Brandboom orders come into AIMS360 as sales orders. Who can open the app is set by the App Integration permission in AIMS360.
What you get: line sheets that show what you can actually ship, and Brandboom orders in AIMS360 without rekeying.
The Brandboom integration| Area | Product | What changed | Why it matters | Learn more |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Default bin | AIMS360 Runway | Give each warehouse an optional default bin in Setup > WMS > Warehouse Scan Settings (renamed from Warehouse Settings). When a picker clicks Scan on a pick ticket from that warehouse, the bin is already filled in, so they start scanning UPCs right away. | One less step on every pick ticket when most of your stock sits in one bin. | Bin locations |
| Runway Codes | AIMS360 Runway | Run your code lists from any browser. Add, edit and delete cancel reasons, RMA reasons, order status reasons, special instructions, vendor classes, style groups, PO order types, replenishment codes and UPC catalog groups right in Runway. | Keep your setup clean from the warehouse floor or your laptop, no need to open the Windows Cloud App. | Mobile scanning |
| Body codes | AIMS360 Runway | Body codes are now in Runway. Add them the same way you do in AIMS360 and use them to organize styles for search and reporting. | Keep your style setup tidy from any browser. | Styles and colors |
| Packed quantity | AIMS360 Runway | Packed quantity now shows everywhere you look in Runway: the style grid, WMS inquiry, adjustments, single and batch transfers, and the order grid. | Know what's boxed and ready before anyone has to ask. | Warehouse management Pick tickets |
| Invoices | AIMS360 Runway | Pull up any invoice in Runway with the same fast grid, views and filters as every other Runway lookup. | Answer a buyer's invoice question from the warehouse or the road. | Invoicing |
| Navigation | AIMS360 Runway | The Runway menu now follows your day: design, sell, produce, fulfill, analyze, then administer. Orders, customers, reps, RMAs and invoices sit together, vendors sit with vendor POs, setup moves to the bottom, and a Favorites section at the top holds the screens you use most. The header now fits on one row on desktop. | Find any screen faster and keep your daily ones one click away. | Mobile scanning |
| Grids | AIMS360 Runway | A Refresh icon now sits above Runway grids. Click it to reload the grid, with a spinner while the latest data comes in. | Pull the newest numbers into the grid you are already working in. | Mobile scanning |
| RemoteLink | RemoteLink | Your AIMS360 duplicate customer PO setting now flows to RemoteLink. The Allow Duplicate Customer PO toggle starts On or Off to match it, and a rep can switch it on for a single order. In TestFlight now, App Store update next. | Reps stop getting blocked on reorders that reuse a PO, and you keep control of when duplicates are allowed. | RemoteLink iPad ordering |
| Retailer EDI | AIMS360 Windows Cloud App | Retailer PO changes now update themselves. When a retailer sends an EDI 860 change, AIMS360 applies it to the order automatically and puts anything it can't apply on a validation report. | Fewer PO changes keyed by hand, and nothing slips through unnoticed. | EDI 860 PO changes Built-in EDI |
| Bulk invoices | AIMS360 Windows Cloud App | Bulk Invoice (consolidated invoice) now has a Group By PO# + DC + Factor option, ticked by default. Tag any number of invoices and AIMS360 builds a separate bulk invoice for each PO#, DC and factor combination, then shows which invoices went into each one. In AIMS360 version 26.10.07.00. | Retailers that want one bulk invoice per PO and DC, like Nordstrom, get them all in one pass instead of one at a time. | Invoicing Nordstrom EDI |
| Credit memo report | AIMS360 Windows Cloud App | The Summary option on the Journal - Credit Memos report now gives a true summary for every Sort By choice, not only Credit Memo [Show Applied]. Credit memo rows drop out, and the group totals and grand total match the detailed report. In AIMS360 26.10.20.00. | Post summarized credit memo totals to QuickBooks or your general ledger without adding them up by hand. | Accounting |
| Inactive codes | AIMS360 Windows Cloud App | Retire a code without renaming it XXX or ZZZ. A Status column on six Setup > Codes tabs (Debit Adjustments, Credit Adjustments, Return Authorization, Terms, Order Status Reasons, Order Line Cancel Reason) lets you mark a code Inactive. It drops out of dropdowns for new work, and records that already use it keep their value. From AIMS360 26.09.28.00. | Shorter, cleaner dropdowns with your history intact. | Order management |
The September release is about the warehouse floor and the numbers behind it. Three changes carry most of the weight.
A pick ticket is the list of what to pull for an order. When the packer's count didn't match it, the old routine was to stop, find the missing units, fix inventory in another screen and come back while the shipment waited.
Now, when a packed quantity differs from what was picked at Final Update, AIMS360 opens a Pick vs Pack window. It shows every bin holding that style, color and size, and how many units sit in each one. Pull the difference from another bin and finish the shipment where you are. Rows are color coded for over, under and on target.
What you get: fewer stalled shipments and fewer wrong counts going out the door.
How bin locations workShopify can report profit and margin on every product, but only if each product has a cost entered. Most brands never fill it in, or it goes stale by next season.
AIMS360 already knows your costs. In Add/Edit Shopify Details, choose Make/Buy, Average Cost or Wholesale Price, and that figure goes to Shopify's Cost field with your products from then on. You see it in the Shopify admin. Shoppers never do.
What you get: real margin per product in Shopify without typing costs twice.
The Shopify integrationBrands with more than one location, or a 3PL plus their own space, had every style visible and scannable everywhere, including warehouses that never stock it.
You can now choose which warehouse locations each style and color may be stocked in, under Additional Details, Inventory Locations. Warehouse searches, scanning and inventory functions only show it where it belongs.
What you get: less hunting and fewer cross-location mistakes.

Releases are part of the plan, delivered for you, and documented step by step for customers.
Every release is part of your AIMS360 plan. There's no upgrade fee and no upgrade project to schedule.
AIMS360 runs on the Microsoft Azure cloud, so your tenant updates itself, usually overnight. Releases go out to tenants in stages, so a new one can take a week or two to reach you. Want it sooner? Email support@aims360.com. The RemoteLink iPad app updates through the App Store.
A few capabilities are turned on by request, like aged inventory in Live Excel, NuORDER inventory sync and the AI connection. The release entries above say when.
Signed-in customers get detailed release notes with setup steps and screenshots: AIMS360 release notes and Runway release notes. Customer login required This page is the public summary.
The AIMS360 REST API is documented publicly at api.aims360.io. Newer calls use a date as their version, so you can see exactly when each one changed, and the API rows in each month above carry that date. Older versions keep working until they are deprecated, with at least 90 days' notice, and a deprecated call returns headers with its deprecation and decommission dates. API docs last updated September 21, 2026. See how the AIMS360 open API works.
