Improved Inventory Turnover

Having a real time, centralized view of sales and inventory across all channels improves inventory management and turnover. Reduce out-of-stocks, order cancellations and late shipments and make timely in-season price adjustments.

Item Master

Item Master records contain descriptions, categorization, costs, inventory and cost controls, lot-sizing, vendors, prices and more. Sales Orders contain a list of items and quantities for the inventory items that are to be sold. The items are "shipped" as they go out the door and packing slips and other shipping documents can be printed during the process. What doesn't get shipped remains allocated and is back-ordered. Shipments provide an automated data feed to Accounts Receivable.

CONTROL WAREHOUSE COSTS

Product Movement

Warehouse management is no longer about storage. It's about the movement of inventory between locations, filling just-in-time orders and eliminating out-of-stock issues. Assist gives you the visibility and control that you need at every stage of the process across channels, geographies, suppliers and locations to make your inventory and people more productive.

Automatically create move tickets for received items and for bin replenishment based on picking lane requirements. Keep track of items being moved by scanning the current bin location, the item or pallet being moved, and the "move-to" bin location. The Assist system immediately transfers the quantity to the newly assigned bin and the Item history keeps track of all movements for each product.

Picking Support

Assist supports both paper-based and RF picking. Order Management generates a pick ticket that will display items based on area, zone, aisle and bin number. RF picking can then be utilized to scan the bin and the item being picked. Upon scanning, the system will verify that the correct bin, item and quantity were picked and move the item to the staging bin. A bar coded picking label can be automatically generated to track nearly any aspect of the picking process.

Warehouse Transfers

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

Control Warehouse Costs

Automate routine tasks, provide real-time visibility into operations, and ensure an effective decision-making process.

Enable employees to pick and fulfill orders faster and more efficiently, with complete bin management support that enables the use of bins to track the exact location of items in stock.
