Beelocity groups everything you work with into business modules — Sales, Procurement, Business Partners, Inventory, Manufacturing, Maintenance and Treasury. The sidebar, the module overview pages and the command palette are the three ways to move between them.
The sidebar
The sidebar shows one level at a time, so it never becomes a wall of links.
Your organization. The foot of the sidebar names the organization you are working in, with its logo once its profile has one. Click it to see every organization you belong to — your personal workspace is marked as such — and pick another; New organization starts one, and All organizations opens the full list. Switching keeps you on the list you were reading, now the other organization’s: Sales orders stay Sales orders. A record you had open takes you to its list instead, because the record belongs to the organization you left.
The module list. When you are on the main dashboard (or any general page), the sidebar shows your general pages — Dashboard and Inbox (with your unread count on it) — with the list of business modules below them. The full list of your organizations is one click away in the switcher at the foot of the sidebar. Only modules you have access to appear: if your role grants no Treasury permissions, there is no Treasury entry. Each module ends in an arrow, because it opens a list of its own.
Inside a module. Clicking a module does two things at once: it opens that module’s overview page and swaps the sidebar to the module’s own page list, and the top of the sidebar reads Beelocity / Sales: the product’s name, then the module you are in. The first item, Dashboard, brings you back to that landing page at any time. Below it, the module lists the work you come back to every week, in the order the work happens — Sales lists Quotations, Orders, Delivery Notes, Sales Returns, Invoices and Credit Notes. Pages you read together are one entry with a tab for each: Inventory’s Stock holds the stock levels, the lots, the serial numbers and the warehouse map. At the end of the list, a little apart from the work, Setup holds everything the module is set up with — the lists and rules you set once and revisit about once a year — each as a tab. A module with nothing to set up, such as Procurement, has no Setup. The pages are listed by name alone, starting on the same line as the organization at the foot of the sidebar. No module draws a heading: what you see is the pages themselves, each one click away.
Going back. Beelocity, at the top of the sidebar, returns you to the module list without leaving the page you are on. The module you are currently in stays in bold, so you always know where you are.
The sidebar follows you. However you arrive on a page — a bookmark, a link a colleague sent, a search result, a page refresh — the sidebar always opens the panel of the module that owns that page, with that page in bold. You never land somewhere with the navigation pointing elsewhere.
On phones and small screens the sidebar slides over the page; it closes by itself after you pick a destination.
Module overview pages
Every module has an overview page — the page a module click lands on. It shows:
- Headline numbers for the module, where they exist — open sales orders, overdue purchase orders, cash position, maintenance reliability, and so on. These are the same cards as on the dashboard, and the pin button copies any of them to your dashboard Overview tab.
- The module’s pages as cards, in the sidebar’s order and with Setup as a card of its own, so it doubles as a map of the module. Human Resources, Payroll, Foreign Trade and the Online Store open on what needs doing instead: lists of what is waiting, and buttons for the jobs done every week.
Like everywhere else in Beelocity, the ⓘ button in the corner opens a panel beside the page — the page narrows to make room — that explains what the module covers and defines the terms it uses. Press ⓘ again, or Esc, to close it; on a phone it slides up from the bottom instead, with its own ×.
Jumping anywhere with the command palette
The fastest way to move around is the command palette — press Ctrl+K (or ⌘K on Mac), or click Search… in the bar across the top, type a few letters and press Enter. Every result shows its full location (for example Sales › Setup › Price Lists), so the palette also tells you where a page lives in the sidebar. It can create documents directly too — type “new” to see the actions your permissions allow.
Where you are
The bar across the top always names the page you are on, and shows the one above it: the module for a list (Sales › Sales Orders), the list for a record (Sales Orders › SO-2026-000014). Click that name, or the ↑ arrow beside it, to go up one level. It is deliberately short — one step, not the whole path — because the sidebar already shows which module you are in, and the palette shows a page’s full location when you search for it. On a phone the bar keeps the arrow and the page name and drops the rest.
While a page is on its way
Beelocity fetches each page the first time you open it, so the very first visit to a screen may take a moment. A thin line runs across the top of the window while it arrives; the rest of the app stays where it is, and the page opens the moment it is ready. Going back to it later is instant.
Once in a while a page will say it could not be loaded, with a Refresh button. That normally means Beelocity was updated while your tab was open, so the version your tab is holding no longer matches what the server has. Refreshing loads the new one, and nothing you have saved is affected.
Once you are on a page
Most destinations are a list — of products, orders, partners or assets. Working with Lists covers searching, sorting, setting the column widths and opening a row, all of which work the same on every one of them.
Where the rest lives
- Settings and access control are not in the sidebar — open them from the square with your initials in the top corner, or search for them in the palette.
- Switching organizations happens at the foot of the sidebar — see Your organization.
- Light or dark follows your device: Beelocity is light when your computer or phone is set to light, and dark when it is set to dark.
