Hi Arun,

+1 to your proposal.

A mobile-first PWA for warehouse picking would definitely benefit OFBiz,
especially for teams working on handheld devices where scanning and speed
are critical.

On the API side, it=E2=80=99ll be important to keep things clean and
well-documented.
Reusable REST endpoints won=E2=80=99t just help this app, they=E2=80=99ll a=
lso make it
easier to build other integrations or modern UIs later on.

Overall, this feels like a good step toward aligning OFBiz with modern
tools.
