The Warehouse Management System (WMS) and its inventory management capabilities are essential for any manufacturer who wants a streamlined WMS system that enables your production and distribution operations to achieve new levels of accuracy and management visibility.
Deacom's asset management tools provide comprehensive automation for tracking physical assets throughout their entire life cycle. From production to shipment and inventory management, these tools streamline the process of managing tracked assets. With Deacom, you can easily produce goods that include tracked assets, issue materials to production jobs involving tracked assets, and finish materials containing tracked assets. You can also efficiently ship sales orders that include tracked assets, reserve them to specific sales orders, and seamlessly return tracked assets back to inventory. In addition, Deacom's asset management tools offer robust reporting capabilities, allowing you to generate comprehensive reports on all aspects of asset tracking.
GS1-128 barcodes are high density barcodes that use application identifiers such best before dates, batch numbers, quantities, and weights. Tracking many data points for a single lot is essential for good inventory management. Deacom's inventory management system, which is frequently used in receiving, work issuing, job finishing, and sales reserving, employs GS1-128 barcodes to increase warehouse efficiency and promote correct lot tracking.
Deacom gives you the ability to be more proactive in inventory counts with an efficient series of audits on smaller subsets rather than a full year-end count. By implementing cycle counting practices that are done throughout the year, you can mitigate unnecessary stress, overtime costs, and rushed mistakes while generating more accurate data for stakeholders and decision makers.
The WMS system allows you to see the stock levels of your locations in real time and make decisions on how to replenish them when below the minimum stock level. You can determine the minimum and maximum stock levels for each warehouse location, determine when locations are below the minimum stock level, and react to the needs of your batch picking process so pickers have enough raw material inventory to meet requirements.
For those manufacturers who operate within regulated industries, lot tracking and traceability down to the specific lot used, where it was used, when it was used, and what was it used for, becomes a very important element not only as part of your warehouse management process, but your overall business. Using the traceability software capabilities of Deacom, we demonstrate how you can drill down into inventory reporting starting from the raw materials all the way to the finished goods, and view the specifics of everywhere that a lot was used.
Deacom ERP helps you manage product shelf life rules for customers with varying shelf life requirements. It can assign expiration dates based on shelf life parameters, and only allow products that meet the customer’s specified shelf life requirements to be shipped to the end-customer.
