Instock

name: Instock
description: 'Instock is a robotics company delivering a goods-to-person automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) as
  a fulfillment robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) offering. The system pairs a static "Grid" racking framework, stackable "Bins",
  and autonomous three-dimensional "Robots" with "Incloud", a cloud software platform that orchestrates warehouse fulfillment
  operations. Instock publishes a REST-based HTTP API (Incloud) that lets a customer''s host systems (PIM/IMS/OMS) integrate
  with the ASRS: managing sites, uploading articles (SKUs), creating and advancing customer orders, tracking order tasks,
  and reading inventory and article moves. The API accepts and returns JSON, uses Bearer-token (JWT) authentication issued
  during onboarding, cursor-based pagination, snake_case properties, and RFC 3339 timestamps. Instock was surfaced as a portfolio
  company of Lux Capital. Sector: robotics / warehouse automation.'

  description: "Fulfillment of orders by associates and ASRS is split into chunks called `ordertasks`.\nAn `ordertask` can\
    \ represent a picking of several lines of customer order, for example.\nEach ordertask corresponds to exactly one order\
    \ and one order can have multiple ordertasks.\nOn the other side, each action of robots of ASRS can be attributed back\
    \ to exactly one ordertask.\n\nIncloud promises, once order gets into one of the terminal statuses (`done` or `canceled`)\
    \ the set\nof corresponding ordertasks is immutable, i.e. no new ordertasks to be added, and each ordertask record\nis\
    \ immutable.\n\nOrdertasks corresponding to customer order are created after order fulfillment is planned, i.e. after\n\
    order status changes from `registered` to `reserved`.\nOnce customer order is `done` or `canceled`, a client of API can\
    \ reconstruct full picture of fulfillment of \norder by retrieving ordertasks data.\nOrdertasks may be presented by Incloud\
    \ for all type of orders\n(`customer`, `reception`, `adjustment`, `extraction`).\n\n| Ordertask status | Description |\n\
