Integrated warehouse management forjust-in-time manufacturing

To manufacture high quality products on-time for customers, it is essential that raw materials are managed in a cost effective manner to ensure that the right materials are available, in the right quantities, at the right time. 

Manage key business processes related to requesting materials, fulfilling those requests and moving the materials between locations.

Increase efficiency and avoid material shortages by automatically replenishing materials based on user defined reorder points and target inventory levels.

Material Logistics capabilities

Enable smarter manufacturing by reducing inefficiencies and managing all material-related business processes.

Material flow

Define material flows between storage areas and production lines.

Lifecycle management

Manage the material request lifecycle.

Picking list

Automatically generate pick lists to fulfill material requests.

Route optimization
