Key benefits of Warehouse Management for your company
-
Distribution processes
Automate wave and batch picking, packaging, PO receiving, putting away, transferring, and physical counting (by scanning barcodes with phones and tablets) tasks with customized workflows and form modes. This eliminates the risk of people skipping important steps, increases productivity, and reduces training costs.
-
EDI
Warehouse management works with third-party EDI software for full EDI compliance, including the 856 Advance Ship Notice (ASN), to electronically communicate the contents of a shipment.
-
Lot and serial number tracking
Serial and lot numbers are scanned and printed on the pick list and packing slip, so there can be no mistake about what was picked and shipped.
-
Hands-free operation
Preprinted smart scan sheets allow warehouse workers to perform all necessary system interactions with just a phone or tablet. For example, scan sheets include commands such as complete shipment, next/previous box, and remove item. Audible and visual indicators and warnings provide immediate feedback when wrong items or more units than purchased are scanned.
