Warehouse software

The warehouse software connects e-commerce, logistics-partner and warehouse data and brings receiving, movements, picking and dispatch onto a tablet or phone. The warehouse gets a real-time view of order preparation, shipments and delivery deadlines.

Warehouse software

E-commerce, partner and warehouse connection

E-shop orders, logistics-partner data and stock records come together in one solution.

Data flows for logistics

Data follows the goods from receipt through storage and picking to dispatch and the shipment check.

APIs for partners and hardware

Logistics partners and warehouse hardware connect through APIs, so their data feeds straight into warehouse processes.

Solution

Running the warehouse to required volumes and deadlines

Warehouse operations include receiving, moving, storing, picking and dispatching goods and require coordination across the logistics chain.

These operations had to be managed in the volumes and time required by individual departments or directly by the customer, while e-commerce, logistics-partner and warehouse data needed to be connected.

Warehouse processes on a tablet or phone

The solution supports warehouse processes from receiving through movements and picking to dispatch and makes them available on a tablet or phone.

It provides information for monitoring order preparation and operator efficiency, and helps control shipments and delivery deadlines.

The scope of the connections to the e-shop, logistics partners and warehouse hardware is set according to the specific operation.

Result

Before

Receiving, movements, storage, picking and dispatch had to follow on from one another without e-commerce and logistics-partner data to hand in the warehouse. Dispatch alone involves several steps – packing, loading onto a vehicle, checking completeness against the order, issuing shipment documents and updating stock records – and each of them affects whether goods leave on time.

After

Warehouse staff handle individual tasks on a tablet or phone, while e-commerce, logistics-partner and warehouse-hardware data is connected through APIs. Order preparation can be tracked in real time, operator efficiency reviewed on an ongoing basis, and shipments and delivery deadlines checked in one place.

Project outcomes

  • Real-time view of order preparation
  • Control of shipments and delivery deadlines
  • Warehouse tasks available on a tablet or phone

Key takeaway

The warehouse software covers receipt, movement, storage, picking and dispatch in one solution available on a tablet or phone. API connections bring e-commerce, logistics-partner and warehouse-hardware data into the warehouse.

Frequently asked questions

Which warehouse operations does the software cover from receipt to dispatch?

The software covers the main operations goods pass through in a warehouse: receipt, movement, storage, picking and dispatch. Dispatch includes, for example, packing, loading onto a vehicle, checking completeness against the order, issuing shipment documents and updating stock records. The solution handles raw materials, semi-finished goods and finished products in the volumes and time required by individual departments or the customer.

How does the solution monitor order preparation and operator efficiency?

The solution provides real-time information on order preparation, showing how far picking and dispatch of individual orders have progressed. It also collects data on operators’ work, which can be used to evaluate their efficiency. The same data helps control outgoing shipments and keep track of delivery deadlines towards departments and customers.

Which external connections are envisaged for warehouse operations?

The solution envisages connections to e-commerce data, to logistics partners’ systems and to warehouse hardware. Partners and hardware connect through APIs, so their data feeds directly into warehouse processes. The connected data flows then support the whole logistics chain, from receiving goods to dispatching the shipment.

How can warehouse work be made available on tablets or phones?

Warehouse processes are made available on tablets and phones, so staff can record receiving, movements, picking and dispatch directly in the warehouse. Data from the mobile devices is connected with e-commerce, logistics-partner and warehouse-hardware data. As a result, information on order preparation and shipments is available in real time.
