The project
In order to meet its own requirements and the increasing demands of the market in the future, Logistics & mohr GmbH decided to introduce a warehouse management system. In addition to the technical possibilities such as multi-warehouse and multi-client capability, a good price/performance ratio with the possibility of customer-specific adaptation was particularly important. Due to the tight deadline, a mature system had to be found. The standardized entry package SuPCIS-L Entrysystem is directly tailored to medium-sized businesses and already contains all the necessary functions in its basic version to support and optimize logistics processes.
In order to increase the level of service for Logistics & mohr's customers, access to the WMS via the Internet was created in addition to the mapping of internal logistics. The clients can query both the stocks and the status of the orders via the web. New orders can also be entered directly by the clients' field staff. Duplicate or even incorrect data entry due to transmission errors is now a thing of the past. Telephone information only needs to be provided in exceptional cases. This enables efficient and cost-effective processing. Customers are also very happy about the transparency they have gained. Logistics & mohr now also offers this service to its customers in English-speaking countries.
Via a file transfer standard interface as well as an EDIFACT interface, orders, article masters and purchase orders can also be transferred directly from the customer systems.
The use of barcodes speeds up processing and reduces the error rate. Furthermore, the new WMS ensures the desired transparency of the daily processes and the upcoming work volume. Invoicing of the work performed is based on the inventory movement data automatically recorded and exported in the system. Logistics managers are supported in routine tasks. For example, replenishments from the reserve bins to the picking bins can be triggered automatically when stock levels fall below minimum limits. The complete solution was implemented, trained and operations converted to the new processes within just six weeks after the order was placed.
