Inbound Receiving

Whether products are received into warehouses, distribution centers (DC’s) or direct to store (DSD), streamlining and automating inbound receiving processes delivers greater control of the supply chain. Implementing the right solution enables a more efficient flow of information. That information speeds transactions, increases operational efficiency and reduces overall receiving costs. Further, automated inbound receiving promotes increased visibility and security as goods are transferred from truck to shelf. Apptricity Inbound Receiving delivers speed, accuracy and visibility through process automation.

Increase receiving speed

By assimilating any of the current Automated Identification Data Collection (AIDC) technologies, such as RFID, barcode, EDI, etc., Apptricity Inbound Receiving speeds transactions through the system and promotes increased employee efficiency. Rather than suffer through the tedious, manual process of line-item reconciliation, AIDC enables employees to rapidly scan and stock incoming goods. Apptricity  Inbound Receiving further accelerates the supply chain by reconciling real-time data with your current accounts payable system.

Improve inbound accuracy

Through process automation, receiving departments can reduce manual data entry errors, generate real-time reporting on shipment details and provide instant, automated matching at the shipping platform or storefront. As products are moved through the receiving process, they are automatically reconciled against purchase orders, invoices and advanced shipping notices (ASN’s) when available. This facilitates digital audit trails and simplifies corporate and regulatory compliance. Additionally, Apptricity Inbound Receiving facilitates automated item validation when integrated with Apptricity Catalog.

Realize greater visibility

Regardless of size or current level of automation, Apptricity Inbound Receiving delivers greater visibility into inventories and supply chains. By automating the data collection at the point of receipt and providing that information electronically across the entire enterprise, employees are able to see into inventories with unprecedented speed and transparency. Further, they are able to access that information anytime, anywhere through Apptricity’s web-based portal. Ensuring everyone in the enterprise can see common data, enables businesses to makes better decisions, dynamically.
