System requirements
This page lists the requirements that your hardware and internet connection need to fulfil if you wish to use PlentyONE.
1. Required hardware, operating systems and browsers
The requirements listed in Table 1 allow you to work efficiently with PlentyONE. The system’s performance may be limited if you do not meet the specified values. You may have permanent performance problems if you are using old hardware or a PC that has been poorly maintained.
Access via browser
PlentyONE functions best with the Google Chrome browser. However, you can also access PlentyONE using Mozilla Firefox or Safari (Mac OS). This limitation only applies to the admin area. Your plentyShop can be accessed with all of the typical internet browsers. |

The last two major updates from Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are supported. Note: These browser requirements do not apply to your customers. Your customers can use a W3C compliant web browser of their choice in order to purchase items in your online store. |
2. Troubleshooting
The following points may cause problems if you are working with PlentyONE.
-
Your browser is not up-to-date. Check your browser version. If a newer version is available, update your browser.
-
Your CPU is busy. If your CPU is already running at full capacity due to normal operating procedures, then you should close programmes that you do not need at the time.
-
Your memory is too small. Check the size of your memory. We recommend a minimum capacity of 8 GB.
-
Your Java version is not up-to-date. Check the Java version installed on your computer and check if a later version exists. Install the current version.
-
Your hard drive is more than 70% full and has not been changed in years. Depending on the operating system and the quality of the hardware, you will notice a significant decrease in performance after two years. Delete any unnecessary files or reinstall the system. Another cost-effective solution would be to purchase a newer and more powerful hard drive/SSD.
3. Using the plentymarkets Apps
The plentymarkets App allows you to access key performance indicators and search for customer, item and order data. You need a mobile Android or iOS device for these functions. In addition, the plentymarkets App allows you to perform mobile stock management tasks and to use the point of sale system PlentyONE POS.
In addition, the PlentyONE Warehouse app is available. It contains up-to-date and improved functions for mobile stock management.
Learn below which hardware you need to use both apps.
The free plentymarkets App is available on Google Play and iTunes. Install the app on every mobile device that you want to use.
3.1. Managing business data with the plentymarkets App
If you only want to use the plentymarkets App to manage key performance indicators but not to operate a PlentyONE POS or manage stocks, all you need is a mobile Android or iOS device. Table 2 lists the basic hardware requirements for using the plentymarkets App.
Device type | Requirements |
---|---|
Android devices |
Version 6.0 or higher |
iOS devices |
Version 11 or higher |
3.2. Managing stock with the plentymarkets App

3.3. Managing stock with the PlentyONE Warehouse app
If you want to use the PlentyONE Warehouse app to manage the processes in your warehouse, all you need is a mobile device with an Android operating system. A regular smartphone might be sufficient for trying out the app. However, we recommend using professional devices with integrated barcode scanners for everyday tasks in bigger warehouses. Table 4 contains a list of so-called MDC devices that we recommend for using the PlentyONE Warehouse app.
Note Android minimum version
No matter if you want to use the PlentyONE Warehouse app on a smartphone or on the hardware listed below: version 7.0 or higher of the Android operating system needs to be installed on your app. We reserve the right to increase this minimum requirement on a yearly basis in order to guarantee compatibility with Android. |
