American Hotel’s Old WMS & Limitations
Used an integrated inventory management system in ERP
Key pain points (dilemmas) with old system:
User-intensive dispatching for order picking
Excess travel from inefficient task management
Ineffective order processing
Very labor intensive processing (high labor cost to pick)
The Old Way - Dispatching
What Did The Next WMS Need To Do?
In order to support future growth, the new WMS needed to:
Automate the dispatching process (wave management)
Integrate to voice picking solution
Provide real-time reporting and alerting on order fulfillment
Improve replenishment
Task-interleaving support and reduce travel of lifts & vehicles
Streamline receiving to line-level
Make product available to allocate at line receipt (not at PO close)
THE NEW WMS SOLUTION
