Inventory/Warehouse
Management

Today’s warehouse is no longer just four walls and rows of racks. Apptricity Inventory/Warehouse Management extends the boundaries of warehouses and distribution centers so your organization can track inventories in-transit, in the yard or on the shelf. No matter where it is, or how the warehouse is defined, you have access to details necessary to effectively manage your inventories.

Reduced errors and improved speed

Apptricity Inventory/Warehouse Management improves picking and packing by speeding orders electronically to the warehouse floor. This eliminates inefficient, paper-based communication and provides electronic data trails. The solution increases shipping efficiencies with cross docking, bypassing the intermediate steps of putaway and picking and moving received goods directly from inbound to outbound trucks. This reduces labor and storage costs and speeds fulfillment rates and throughput. Automated picking rules, such as heaviest to lightest, largest to smallest, first-in, first-out (FIFO) or last-in, first-out (LIFO) and other withdrawal methods, enhance inventory utilization.
