The strength of Priority‘s Warehouse Management System (WMS) is derived from its complete integration with Priority‘s ERP system, which prevents inventory balance discrepancies and operational requirements mismatches between the ERP and WMS systems.
Priority WMS is designed to serve as the operational core of businesses with high inventory turnover rates. The system automates all work-flow processes and brings control to the warehouse environment.
Give warehouse technicians anytime, anywhere access to relevant information from mobile devices, letting them make better-informed and more timely decisions while executing work assignments more efficiently. Provide real-time notification of assigned tasks and track execution as work is performed – reducing processing times and increasing warehouse efficiency.
With an integrated WMS, the move from the traditional warehouse system to the WMS can be gradual. For instance, the WMS can be initiated in a single isolated area in the warehouse at first. Alternatively, implementation can be started with a single warehouse activity (e.g. “pick”) and, once the first activity has been implemented successfully, you can proceed to manage other activities via the WMS.
Warehouse management systems (integrated or separate) can suffer from erroneous data definitions that result in system malfunctions. Incremental shut-down capabilities are readily available in a fully integrated ERP/WMS solution.
No mismatch between the ERP and WMS software. Full synchronization of inventory balances between an ERP system and an external WMS is rarely feasible, largely because of differences in how inventory attributes are maintained and used across the two systems.
No mismatch of operational requirements that must be synchronised in real time, when data that are registered and maintained in the ERP have to be used by the WMS. Last-minute changes to work orders, assembly documents and service/maintenance requests can affect what parts are needed and where, inventory allocations may be revised or canceled on short notice, deliveries can be requested to a different shipping address, orders may be withheld for various reasons – in any of these and other scenarios, the real-time availability of enterprise data can have a tremendous impact on the efficiency of your WMS.
The smart, comprehensive, integrated, and increasingly cost-effective solution that improves both efficiency and profitability will better customer service levels.
