Warehouse Management System

Background

Our client is running a warehouse for auto parts. They wanted to build system which can be able to manage all warehouse operations from receiving the material to dispatching them. A system that streamline the entire process and give accurate forecast and reports. After understanding all the warehouse process we built the system that has ability manage entire warehouse process with scanning QR code. The system is also printing the thermal pdfs for the box labels with serial numbers. System is designed in such a way that warehouse and vendors both can use it to get the EDIs and planning.

The Problem Area

The problem area was the lack of a comprehensive system that could provide complete visibility and control over the parts management process. Specifically, the receivers were unable to access details of arriving containers, leading to difficulties in planning future orders from customers. Additionally, there was a need for streamlining the quality assurance process without disrupting the existing and upcoming stock.

Why this Application was Developed?

The application was developed to provide a 360-degree view of each part, including stock information, shipping details, future requirements, upcoming arrivals, and transportation modes.

We have developed a windows application for pickers and receivers. The app runs on the windows surface device. This application is specially developed for Picker and receiver to make picking and receiving easy as the surface is the handy device to be carry while working on any container.
