DCWarehouse — Warehouse Automation for Sage MAS 500

With the maturing of the information age, the demand for real-time goods is higher than ever before. Is your company ready?

Other vendors claim to offer true warehouse automation and real-time inventory control. DCWarehouse is the only solution that truly delivers.

DCWarehouse was developed as a result of eighteen years of real-world consulting experience. Through countless software implementations we realized the need for many of the features found in DCWarehouse. As a result, DCWarehouse has evolved into a mature, robust, proven solution.

Why do I need Warehouse Automation?
If your company operates one or more warehousing facilities, you understand the need to be able to react quickly to customer or distributor orders by your ability to fulfill requests. Further, by controlling inventory and predicting inventory needs, you can optimize operations and increase profits.

This is the promise of Warehouse Automation. The problem with most solutions however, is that they don’t integrate well with new or existing business systems. Inventory management is not real-time, and they use proprietary databases. These systems don’t integrate directly with shipping solutions such as UPS, USPS, DHL and FedEx and are expensive to implement.

DCWarehouse overcomes these barriers. Not only does DCWarehouse integrate seamlessly with Sage MAS 500 and other ERP solutions, but is essentially turnkey. Install and use—its’ that simple.

The dreaded phrase no operations manager ever wants to hear: “Human Error”
Human error is a major factor in inaccurate picking, packing counting, shipping and moving inventory and can cause substantial losses over time.

Human error can occur every time data is entered manually into software systems. DCWarehouse has direct integration with RF (Radio Frequency) and bar-coding technology. These technologies reduce human error by eliminating data entry. Additionally, RF technology maximizes warehouse control because data collection devices are mobile.

Latest releases include the following important features:

Over-Picking Within the Fast Picking Process will allow you to over pick poduct by a tolerance code.

Sales Order Miscellaneous Item Negative Quantities - allows you to apply a rebate at the time of order entry seamlessly to flow through our pick/pack/ship/invoice process.

Unit of Measure Display In Our Package Manager - now you can see the unit of measure in one view when you are picking and packaging. This provides more control to your shippers especially if they are packaging products into multiple boxes and need to know the units in each box.

Manufacturing Work Center Zone Functionality - this brand new feature allows you to automatically move materials from specific zones. This helps you to meet exact customer material requirements.

New Bill of Lading Pallet Feature - allows users to specify the number of full and partial pallets. This is ideal for you to work with the Big Box Retailers.
