Functionality

Scanning of incoming goods assures accuracy and greatly reduces the time to make stock available for sale.
Product can be received directly against the PO vs the packing slip.
Any variances are automatically communicated back to the host system for faster resolution
Damaged and unrecognized product are quickly quarantined and managed separately.
“Blind Receiving” allows for unexpected deliveries and returns to be processed immediately.

Multiple stocking methodologies are supported including Directed, Random and Sorted put-away logic.
Incoming stock can be directed to a primary picking area, a bulk storage area or a random storage location.
Items can be stored in multiple bins in various forms (each, case, pallet) to be internally replenished as required.
As each product is stored the product and location are automatically verified by the scan of a barcode.
"Reserves" can be used to keep product that must be reserved for a select customer in a separate area

Order priorities are imported from the host and/or managed locally on a simple drag and drop screen.
Picking tasks are assigned to operators according to equipment requirements following efficient floor planning
models.
Single or multiple order picking process are fully supported
Wave picking, Pick and Pass logic is also available
Lot or serial number capture can be executed during the picking process with all quantities and product accuracies
ensured through barcode scanning.
Out of stock or insufficient quantities can generate a count task so that discrepancies are dealt with immediately.
Orders are staged for packing/shipping through a barcode scan, allowing the operator to move forward with the
next order quickly.
Marshalling picks can be used to pick case/pallet quantities of a large pick that must be broken down for multiple smaller picks for store direct quantities (SDQ's) or bill of materials (BoM's)

Bins are automatically cycle counted upon being emptied. This is a count of "zero" qty and saves counting that bin again.
High velocity items are counted more often to eliminate high variance probability.
Cycle count is fully logged to ensure acceptance by auditors.
Operators can be assigned to count/not count according to individual.
Regular physical counting is fully supported.

Forward picking areas can be established using logic to define high velocity product.
Forward pick bins are Unit of Measure (UofM) specific and automatically replenished according to
minimum and maximum quantity/bin rules.
Replenishment tasks can be scheduled to slow periods to ensure uninterrupted picking operations.
Replenishment tasks can be interleaved with other tasks to minimize warehouse traffic.

Optional QA process at receiving ensures visibility of inbound stock and proper disposition and RMA process
Final QA at shipping ensures contents and piece count.
Discrepant shipments are hospitalized and dealt with individually.
Order information is communicated to host after QA.
Compliance labelling printed following QA verification.

Product or Licence Plate label printing supported at multiple points in the process including receiving, QA, picking, packaging, or shipping
All barcode types are supported including UCC128, MH10, UPC, EPC, GTIN etc
Any data from the host system can be used to populate labels

Lane based or consolidated shipping
Integrated QA process flexible and optional to include piece counts or weight confirmation
Courier integration available
Carrier rate shopping integration available
