Using ERP Software To Implement A Good Warehouse Management Strategy

Supply Chain Visibility

Finding the right strategy to streamline your warehouse operations can be a challenge unless you have total visibility over your entire infrastructure, and the transportation aspect especially. With warehousing software solutions found in ERP for distribution, your firm can adopt advanced strategies that deliver the perfect order fulfilment, reduce labour costs, and maximise the use of space and equipment.

Our WMS systems allow you to schedule and manage appointments for the pickup and delivery of goods. Rating and routing information is also shared between the front and back ends of the order management process - preventing department siloing by having everyone on the same page. Problems in distribution are also alleviated with enhanced freight reconciliation capabilities to validate billing documentation for every shipment, allowing your team to put their focus on transportation and allocate resources where appropriately needed.

Outsourcing your warehousing tasks to warehouse management ERP software is a great way to give you a bird’s eye view of your business, cut down benchmarking costs, and meet growing customer demands.

Paperless Warehouse Operations

Having legacy systems and outdated methods of information sharing can be extremely detrimental to your operations. There is now more pressure on distributors with low-margin, high-volume consumer goods that require investment in achieving greater efficiency through automation. Such automation is available within warehousing software solutions.

Strategies for streamlining warehouse operations include

• adjustable optimal slotting to customer requests and inventory mix to manage order picking properly,
• cross-docking and packing inventory in minimum storage space
• multiple order picks per trip to reduce downtime in the order fulfilment process.

Syscom’s warehouse management ERP software is able to digitise complex business processes throughout the supply chain and in the process improve planning, optimise inventory levels, reduce costs and respond quickly to changes in customer and supplier demand.

Streamline Logistics

Keeping pace with marketplace demands can be tough for companies that still so heavily rely on paper. You want to have complete control from POS information to final store delivery. WMS systems let you comfortably manage your warehouse by pushing product flow along the supply chain for just-in-time (JIT) delivery. ERP for distribution can consolidate your warehouse operations but utilise an active machine learning model that collects and benchmarks data on current warehouse operations to draft targets for areas needing improvements.

Syscom understands that the warehouse is a vital agent for supply chain efficiency, which is why the WMS systems we offer focus on managing resources, space, labour, equipment, tasks and material flow, to move and market inventory efficiently. Auto-identification and data-collection i.e. bar coding and radio frequency data communication integrated with order management systems (OMS) and transportation management systems (TMS) allow warehouse software solutions to formulate new strategies for optimising your distribution process.
