Overcoming Warehouse Inefficiency
Warehouse inefficiency can significantly impact profitability, slowing fulfilment, increasing operational costs and reducing overall productivity. Common challenges such as manual processes, limited visibility and disconnected systems often create bottlenecks across warehouse operations.
By adopting more integrated, technology-enabled approaches aligned to both ERP and warehouse management, organisations can improve inventory accuracy, streamline picking and fulfilment processes, and gain real-time insight into performance. The result is a more efficient, scalable warehouse operation capable of supporting growth and improving customer service outcomes.
Picking
Designed to move paper-based picking processes into the wireless world. This core module supports multiple styles of RF picking, picking stations, split pack-sizes, batch-pick and repack, shipment labels, and warehouse packing slips. Pick bins are replenished using Hot Replenishment, which is the process of requesting that inventory be replenished to pick bins to meet current sales order requirements.
Receiving
Designed to move paper-based receiving processes into the wireless world. This core module supports paperless check-in, product and carton labelling. It also supports non-PO receiving, for warehouses that allow receipt of products into the warehouse that do not appear on a purchase order.
Replenishment
This module supports Advanced Replenishment, which is the process of requesting that inventory be replenished from overstock bins to pick bins before products are actually required to fill sales orders.
Warehouses are configured to use one of two types of advance replenishment: min/max, or days on hand. Min/max replenishment is based on a predefined minimum quantity of product that must be in pick bins.
Days on hand replenishment is based on a defined minimum number of days that the product must be available in pick bins. When a dispatcher runs the Advanced Replenishment function in Web Dispatch, the system issues replenishment requests for bins that are found to be below this minimum.
Multi-Zone
A zone is an area within a physical location where inventory is stored or different activities are performed. A zone serves to organize stock and warehouse staff workloads. The Multi-Zone module allows you to define up to 26 zones. This module enables zone picking, pick and pass picking, multi-zone simultaneous and sequential picking, and replenishment by zone.
Cloud Dispatch
This is the cloud-based user interface for HighJump. This core module provides reporting capabilities to monitor daily warehouse operations in real-time, and to generate historical reports. Views also display sales, work and purchase orders in the warehouse.
