Warehouse Software Package

The Warehouse Software Package is needed to completely automate work flow, reduce discrepancies and improve efficiencies. Product storage, safety and staff productivity are key components of running a warehouse efficiently. In order to achieve this, warehouse managers need tools to manage warehouse activities such as receiving, shelving and selecting or determining items from storage.  MHS offers software that is easy to use, easy to integrate, and puts important information right at your fingertips. Our package provides mobile handheld devices and execution technologies that enable managers and employees to completely automate warehouse activities. With seamless integration, our software improves warehouse functions such as: Put Away, Receive, Pick, Stock Issues, and Cycle Count.

Today's Challenges

• Labor intensive put away and pick processes conflict with other supply chain requirements
• Manual effort creates errors and inefficiencies in locations and product identification
• Managing multiple warehouse locations manually creates extended and dated inventory issues
• Department supply and demand requirements are not aligned

Our Solution

Warehouse Software Package

PutAway Application leverages technology and automates warehouse staff efforts to put away received inventory in its respective stock locations using a handheld device. By entering the actual quantity, the PutAway process captures and transmits information directly to the MMIS.

Receive Application automates the receiving process of PO and Non-PO items using a handheld device at the receiving dock. Receivers can generate barcode labels for cross docking Non-Stock and Non-PO items to streamline their deliveries. Robust search capabilities provide timesaving efforts with challenging items. This captures and sets the base for all products entering the facility.

Pick Application automates warehouse staff efforts to pick orders using a handheld. By entering the actual quantity picked, the picking process captures and transmits information directly to the MMIS.

CycleCount Application automates the entire counting process through the use of handhelds. It manages the requirements for conducting routine cycle counts and physical inventory. The count review screen on the browser helps identify discrepancies before the data is transmitted to the MMIS reducing the inventory time.

StockIssue Application automates the process of issuing and returning items using a handheld, automatically making the appropriate inventory adjustments in real time.
