About Warehouse Management System Today, there is unprecedented pressure on companies in all industry sectors to keep their supply chains running smoothly. This often means that these businesses, with their ever-changing distribution channels and production centers feeding those supply chains, need to efficiently manage their warehouses. On top of that, there is an increasing need for a rapid turnover of goods in warehouses and distribution centers. The benefits of an optimized warehouse management system (WMS) are becoming clearer all the time: guiding goods quickly through the warehouse means the storage period of goods becomes shorter, and the number of goods movements in the warehouse (putaway, picking, stock transfer) can be reduced. The result: a distinct reduction in stock across the supply chain.

So, for a company interested in tapping the benefits of better warehouse management, what’s the optimal solution? In a nutshell: A software suite that delivers the capability to map any warehouse structure according to the customer’s specific requirements, increases the speed and efficiency of distribution processes, and optimizes internal goods movements.

With optimized warehouse planning and management, companies can avoid carrying excess stock—and the cost associated with this bloated inventory—and will reap the benefits of smarter execution and coordination functions that improve warehouse processes. Considering the myriad benefits, it’s no surprise that more and more business are looking to today’s advanced warehouse management system solutions to help them control the growing dimensions of a complex production and distribution environment.

The Need for Smarter Warehouse ManagementOne overarching business fact drives the WMS demand: the number of customers placing orders directly with the manufacturer is increasing. This growing customer demand yields an increase in pick orders, a decrease in the number of items per order, and an increase in the number of articles that need to be managed. Service providers and product vendors assisting in managing the logistics of this supply-chain transaction phase are challenged to provide several things. First, their solutions must offer applications that either manage an entire warehouse or execute sub-processes within the inventory and distribution process. While all this is happening, warehouse

What’s more, you’re probably learning that your warehouse systems are increasingly expected to perform more and more functions—assembly, manufacturing, repair.

About Warehouse Management System varying facilities. A warehouse management system leveraging the operational benefits of today’s service-oriented architecture (SOA) benefits from strong integration capabilities, and should easily integrate with your existing infrastructure and material handling equipment, as well as support new technologies like radio frequency identification (RFID).

Ideally, the goal is to bring operational discipline to complex warehouse operations by providing a planning layer, a real-time execution layer, and an operational monitoring tool to ensure optimal utilization of resources. When selecting the right WMS, you should consider both leading WMS solutions with superior abilities to support a dynamic market environment with a multitude of warehouse flows, as well as a range of integrated extensions that makes the warehouse operation a multi-functioning and transparent bridge in the supply chain.

The payoff that comes from making the right WMS choice is huge. Customers using the most advanced WMS software solutions experience increased utilization of warehouse space, reduction of obsolete products, improved delivery reliability and increased warehouse turns. While choosing a WMS that’s right for your operations depends on your unique requirements, there are some desired features that should be high on your must-have list. Here are just a few of the desired features you should consider:

Bin and Pick Management. You should look for a WMS solution that lets you ship orders to your customers more efficiently by organizing your warehouse using bins to track the exact location of items in stock. Employees will be able to pick and fulfill orders faster when they know exactly where to go for the items they need. For example, each item may be stored in multiple bins, and different items can be stored in the same bin. Using bins will also streamlines the re-stocking process by generating a put-away list for goods received but still in the loading area. You can also use bins to organize a single warehouse or multiple warehouses, when using a multi-location inventory feature.Demand Based Inventory Replenishment. A WMS that provides intelligent control over inventory replenishment will ensure that you have enough on hand to fill anticipated orders, and keep excess stock to a minimum. Average lead time,

About Warehouse Management System historical or seasonal-based sales demand, and number of days’ supply to stock are data points that should be used by the application to the dynamically set reorder point and preferred stock level for each item, on an ongoing basis. You should also be able to handle atypical circumstances by overriding or disabling these calculations for individual items. Dynamic Ordering Queue. Consider a WMS that gives you an operational environment where you can order all your inventory items with one click and get what you need, when you need it.Customer and Volume Pricing. With an optimized WMS that delivers an integrated inventory management software solution, you can assign different prices for different types of customers. You can also assign different prices for wholesale, retail or online sales.Integrated Inventory Management. When you need to create new inventory items, a good WMS should feature an inventory management application that allows you to define Web characteristics, such as pricing, captions, images and more. Sales representatives and partners should have full views into inventory levels. Plus, orders from the Web, retail or sales organization, should automatically be reflected in inventory levels.Multi-location Inventory Management. A good WMS allows you to manage inventory in multiple locations. As you enter purchase and sales transactions, the product’s inventory management software application should provide the capabilities to choose the warehouse location that will receive or fulfill the order. And look for the software’s ability to deliver inventory reports that will allow you to view information about your total inventory on hand, or just the inventory level at a specific location.Matrix Items. With good WMS inventory management functionality, you can handle various combinations of the same item, enabling different values for characteristics such as pricing, inventory status, and description. Ideally, you want to give your customers and sales representatives the ability to identify item combinations more quickly. As a result, you’ll be able to meet the varying demands of your customer base more easily.Lot Numbers. Look for a WMS solution that gives you a complete history for each lot number, which should be maintained in the inventory management program through the product’s life cycle. You should also be able to assign an expiration date to each

Happen Business, an Australian-based company, was established in 2001 to address the growing need in the small to medium business market for a comprehensive accounting and business workflow software solution.

Most established business software applications are primarily developed to produce a set of financial records, and do not focus on how businesses created that result. Jim2 differentiates itself from standard accounting software in that in provides full visibility into each aspect of the businesses’ operations while they are occurring, and also assists in streamlining the entire workflow. This sets Jim2 apart from most accounting packages, since they are primarily designed to inform management of a company’s financial condition long after it has conducted its business, and not ‘as it is happening’.

Jim2 Business Engine combines Business Accounting Software and ERP Software into one integrated package. Designed, Developed & Supported in Australia, Jim2 Business Engine is a complete business solution to manage every aspect of a small to medium businesses’ workflow cycle and solves the growing pains of business expansion.

Jim2® Business Engine Premium Edition is Happen’s core product in their line of business software. All Jim2® products include a full accounting back-end and its primary focus is to manage business workflow, business processes, and to provide a quality system framework.

With Jim2 Business Engine Software, the company has been able to establish an extensive customer base across various diverse industries such as importing, warehouse distribution, computer sales and service, managed print services, communications, engineering, specialized retailing and manufacturing.

Jim2 Business Engine now represents a substantial move away from running small to medium sized businesses via standard accounting software.

Happen Business product HighlightsJim2 Business Engine adopts a business perspective on workflow processes, managing, tracking and controlling the inputs that drive the financial result. Jim2 Business Engine then also goes on to producing a set of financial records.

Traditionally, the use of ERP was restricted to large enterprises, as the massive investment required to purchase the software was too large for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Missing out on the benefits of the latest technologies, such as ERP, placed SMB’s at a large disadvantage in the competitive global market.

Since the early 1990s, ERP has helped businesses drive down costs and operate more efficiently. It has helped companies manage their data more effectively, and has also streamlined many business processes, including quoting, planning, manufacturing, services, sales and marketing. It also includes activities like stock control, order tracking, customer service, finance and staff.

With proper implementation of these functions through ERP small businesses can do away with laborious and time-consuming processes enabling them to broaden their horizons and enter the market more aggressively.

Jim2 Business Engine puts the power of high-end ERP software into the hands of small to medium business owners, giving them a level playing field on which to compete with much larger enterprises.

Jim2 is affordable for all small and medium sized businesses in addition to offering a fast return on investment, thereby giving it a unique place in the ERP/Accounting arena.

Happen Business TechnologyJim2 Business Engine is a flexible and robust business management system that is built to meet business needs from day one, while allowing your business to grow to the next level.

Jim2 is fully-maintained, regularly updated business management software that includes professional implementation, rigorous training, and comprehensive support.
