Benefits include:

Improved Warehouse Management System - Inventory Records

Accurate, real-time inventory data and a complete audit trail of all inventory transactions, including  the order fulfillment process. This helps to reduce overall lead times and increases inventory accuracy.

Maximum Warehouse Efficiency

Dexterity WMS supports various order processing methods: wave and single order picking. Optimising the order picking process through system guidance minimises order ship times, customer returns and inventory, and maximises picking accuracy, customer satisfaction and throughput.

"The Dexterity WMS system was cost effective yet comprehensive and flexible enough to provide us with the features we needed." - Chris Creswell, Senior Systems Managers at Jacobs Bakery - Read the full story [here]

Flexibility

Dexterity WMS is a standard system that is configured to your specific requirements. The software is based on standard products; SQL Server database and Microsoft Access forms running on a standard Microsoft Windows operating system. The transaction server allows user definable transactions to be built. As businesses operate in different ways, the transaction interfaces and rules are flexible to make sure the system fits your operation.

Traceability

Goods receiving/putaway is one of the leading applications for real-time systems. These processes are recorded by the system, which means that goods are always put away in the correct location and traceable. Further traceability benefits include the identification of goods not ordered or incorrect deliveries, stock out occurrences are reduced and inventory status is immediately updated.

Transparency

Along with traceability comes transparency. The inventory system allows the actions of operators to be monitored closely, ensuring that if a fault occurs the source can be found and corrected.

"The Dexterity WMS has enabled us to become more competitive in the marketplace and without it we may not be here today." Tony Leach, Operations Director at Supreme Imports - Read the full case study [here]

Paperless Workplace

A real-time Warehouse Management System makes the concept of a paperless warehouse a reality. A paperless warehouse means a reduced amount on paperwork and clerical costs, improved efficiency of staff and more accurate documentation. Therefore fewer mistakes and fewer errors!

Improved Customer Satisfaction

Sales and marketing operations can also benefit from accurate real-time information. For fast moving environments, sales people with access to accurate current inventory levels can make better-informed decisions when committing to customer delivery schedules. This leads to improved confidence in delivery promises and therefore high customer satisfaction levels.
