Improved accuracy, greater warehouse optimization, and transport efficiencies
Whether you have a warehouse with 5,000 square feet or a distribution center with more than a million, the fundamental challenges are the same. You must accurately ship orders, deliver them fast, and keep precise inventory records.
- You can configure automated or directed processes individually by warehouse location.
- Order picking movement throughout the warehouse can be controlled by straight order picking, wave, batch, pick and pass, and zone.
- Instruction-driven putaway of material can be based on the optimum pick path or in reverse order of the pallet build. Either way, the system ensures that your primary locations are stocked.
