1. Know Your Demand
Understanding customer demand is a critical first step. Acumatica provides historical data as well as integrated customer relationship management to help you see into the future. Acumatica provides a single central system with online, counter, and telephone sales. Accurately plan by merging Acumatica's data with your understanding of macroeconomic trends and local business drivers to improve inventory turns and reduce dead stock.
2. Understand Your Processes
Computer automation requires a thorough understanding of your shipping and distribution processes. Acumatica's inventory management module can help you organize your goods based on ABC codes and movement classes and assist in deciding between pallet racks and flow racks. Flexible bin locations and labeling allows you to store specific products in specific locations.
3. Minimize Touches
Acumatica creates pick lists to guide your pickers and packers to the correct warehouse location. This includes cordinating activities in multi-user environments. Acumatica can be configured so when an item arrives at your warehouse, it's not automatically stored if needed for an outgoing order. Pick lists and production activities can be scheduled to minimize shipping dock clutter.
4. De-clutter using web software
Acumatica is web-based so you can minimize equipment costs and deliver information to the device that is right for the situation at hand. Acumatica works with PCs, laptops, tablets, iPads, and other devices with a browser. Different employees can login to a packing station without the need for a specific device. This simplifies shift changes, vacation schedules, and utilizing temporary workers.
5. Automate
Acumatica integrates with bar code scanners to minimize keying errors. Since Acumatica is cloud-based, scanned data can instantly be added or removed from inventory if you utilize an internet-enabled scanner. The cloud delivers updates to everybody in real-time.
