Warehouse Management is part of Acumatica Distribution Edition and integrates with the Acumatica Commerce Edition to help you accurately and efficiently manage your advanced warehouse needs in wholesale, manufacturing, retail, and other industries.
ADVANCED WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT
- Reduce errors and improve customer satisfaction. Mistakes in order fulfillment lead to costly returns and lower customer satisfaction. Efficient barcode scanning and verification of picked items eliminate over-shipments, under-shipments, and shipping incorrect items.
- Automate routine picking, packaging, PO receiving, putting away, transferring, and physical counting (by using barcode scanners) tasks with customized workflows and form modes. This eliminates the risk of people skipping important steps, increases productivity, and reduces training costs.
- Leverage hands-free operations. Preprinted smart scan sheets allow warehouse workers to perform all necessary system interactions with just a scanner—a handy feature for those who must wear gloves. For example, scan sheets include commands such as complete shipment, next/previous box, and remove item. Audible and visual indicators and warnings provide immediate feedback when incorrect items or more units than purchased are scanned.
- Support lot and serial number tracking. Serial and lot numbers are scanned and printed on the pick list and packing slip, so there can be no mistake about what was picked and shipped.
EFFICIENTLY HANDLE ORDER FULFILLMENT
- Improve item picking. Pick for multiple orders at once. Complete picking from inventory in a single pass.
- Choose preferred packing mode. Pack items and generate mailing labels automatically based on package weights, or let the system tell you the required packaging for specific items.
- Provide superior customer service. Ensure timely pickup and delivery through carriers. Track all packages automatically. Notify customers of shipment progress through each stage of order fulfillment.
- EDI. Advanced Fulfillment works with third-party EDI software for full EDI compliance, including 856 Advance Ship Notice (ASN), to electronically communicate the contents of a shipment.
