Behind the technology, our team of Warehouse Management and Logistics Software and Supply Chain Management Software Solutions experts ready to help the system adapt to your requirements and make the suggestions, recommendations and implementation of processes to help you realize your greatest advantage.

Receiving
How do you keep track of new product delivered to your warehouse? Our Warehouse Management and Logistics Software automatically assigns a pallet number and prints a pallet "license plate" to track item or pallet movements. When receiving by purchase order or container, you can note lots and serial numbers of the products received. When our Warehouse Management and Logistics Software is integrated with our Inventory Tracking Systems, you can scan inventory upon receipt, confirm shipment of the merchandise to customers and immediately determine if the correct items and quantities are fulfilled.

Movement
It's vital to keep track of product movement within the warehouse for security and replenishment. Our automated Warehouse Management and Logistics Software solutions enable you to implement moves while automatically keeping tabs of the exact amount transferred and updating the counts in the "from" and "to" locations.

Order Management
With our Warehouse Management and Logistics Software solutions, you can view and select sales orders and warehouse transfer orders for individual or wave picking---based on weight, cubic measure, quantity, line items or virtually any criteria. To ensure optimum performance of your warehouse team, progress and response speed can be analyzed by area, zone and picker.

Picking
You can use paper-based or RF picking with Warehouse Management and Logistics Software solutions. For picking, our solution generates a pick ticket that displays items based on area, zone, path and bin sequence. RF picking with our bar code program can be used to scan the bin and the item being picked---and automatically verify the picking. Equally important, our bar code software automatically generates a picking label to track the tote or pallet used for picking up the order.

Order Verification
A crucial component of our Warehouse Management and Logistics Software solution is the ability to easily verify that the items have been appropriately picked to match a customer order.

Warehouse Transfers
Warehouse transfers can be created automatically or manually through our Warehouse Management and Logistics Software for both inter-location and inter-company transfers. Suggested transfers are based on the usage, transfer lead-time and minimum requirements of each location. Managers can use the transfer maintenance program to review suggested transfers and adjust the stock allocations for each item by location. Transfers are then released to the order manager program for picking.

Cycle and Physical Counting
Cycle and Physical Counting programs provide our Warehouse Management and Logistics Software solutions with efficient tools to control and gauge the accuracy of inventory records that are maintained in the locator system. The cycle count process writes transaction records, prints count sheets, allows RF-based counting and produces variance reports. Full physical inventory counting is supported using wireless terminals or count sheets. Detailed inquiries display all counting activity and variances reported.
