Introduction
The adoption of a WMS (Warehouse Management System) is essential for companies looking to optimize their logistics operations. A WMS, like Fluentis, offers a range of tools and features designed to improve efficiency, accuracy, and traceability within the warehouse. With Fluentis WMS, companies can automate key processes such as receiving goods, storage, picking, packing, and shipping, reducing human errors and increasing productivity.
Implementing a WMS allows for more effective inventory management, minimizing the risk of excess or shortages. Furthermore, thanks to real-time visibility of operations, the WMS enables companies to make informed decisions and respond quickly to changes in demand. The ability to track goods throughout their lifecycle in the warehouse also helps ensure regulatory compliance and improve customer satisfaction.
Overall, using a WMS helps companies streamline logistics operations, reduce costs, and enhance service quality, creating a competitive advantage in an increasingly dynamic and complex market.
Modules of the area
Purchasing
The goods receiving function is crucial for logistics management, allowing for the accurate identification and loading of incoming goods. Through the system, operators can filter and select unfulfilled supplier orders, generate the Transport Document (DDT), and manage load units if necessary. This process ensures that each item is recorded with lot information and quantity, improving warehouse efficiency and ensuring accurate movement control.
Logistics
The goods loading function allows for the precise registration of the arrival of items in the warehouses.
The goods unloading function is designed to facilitate the picking of items from a warehouse.
The move item function allows for the creation of a movement to shift an item from one specific location to another.
This procedure is used to create positive or negative adjustments of an item.
The item stock function allows operators to quickly view the warehouse stock for each registered item.
This procedure allows for the registration and management of the physical stocks of items, facilitating and speeding up the counting process.
This tool allows for the effective management of transferring checked items between different warehouses or locations, automatically creating the necessary warehouse movements for the transfer.
Loading Unit
This function allows for the loading or moving of load units via barcode scanning, simplifying and speeding up logistical operations.
Load/Move multiple Loading Unit
Allows for the simultaneous management of multiple load units, improving warehouse operations efficiency by loading or moving multiple Loading Units at once.
Allows for the creation of a picking list for load units, facilitating the preparation of shipments directly linked to customer orders.
Allows for managing the movements of load units within warehouses, facilitating the organization and traceability of Loading Units during transfers between different locations.
Confirm Loading Unit picking list
This function is used to confirm picking lists and create outgoing warehouse movements.
This procedure is intended to confirm existing transfer lists and manage related warehouse movements.
Move items between two load units
This function allows for the easy transfer of items from a source load unit to a destination load unit.
Allows for making adjustments to items contained in a load unit, enabling both positive and negative corrections.
This procedure allows for an accurate inventory of load units present in the warehouse.
Sales (Vendite)
The tick management of the Fluentis WMS allows operators to confirm picking lines and group items into load units, thus optimizing handling operations in the warehouse. With this functionality, it is possible to effectively create and manage Loading Units during picking, ensuring accurate control and greater operational efficiency.
