Units of Measure (UOMs)
Units of Measure (UOMs) enable you to stock, purchase, and sell inventory in different units. You can use our own list of UOMs such as "Eaches", "Hours", "5 Pack", etc.. or create your own.
Inventory Visibility - Automatically or Manually select the right warehouse:
Full Warehouse and Cycle Counting - Divide and conquer inventory counting seamlessly by enabling warehouse managers to assign batch counts to staff or warehouse teams based on the entire warehouse, or any portion thereof - section by section, including aisles, racks, shelves and bins (or any combination thereof depending on how you define warehouse locations).
Continuous Counting & Flagging - Enable pickers - the tip of the spear - who constantly visit locations daily, the ability to flag inaccurate on-hand quantities from their hand-held devices, as they come across them. Later, authorized warehouse staff can confirm and update counts, maximizing inventory integrity.
Support for barcode scanners and mobile wireless devices - Count inventory wirelessly using mobile devices and barcode scanners. Barcode scan items and bin locations, so your warehouse staff can quickly update inventory counts in real-time.
Inventory Audit Trails - Track every inventory insert, update, and delete event, including when, where, and how, which include both automated and manual sources such as changes committed by employees.
Transaction Audit Trails - As items are added to sales and purchase orders, returned via vendor or customer RMAs, or modified via transfer orders, transactions will recorded so you can easily track them.
Customer and Vendor Item Trackability - Track Items bought and sold from within Customer and Vendor records.
Receive Inventory with Receive Receipts - Track when purchase orders are fully or partially received. Un-receive from the purchase order, with audit trails for both. While receiving inventory, warehouse staff can include the Bill of Lading or Packing Slip ID for future reference.
Put-Away - Put-Away can be conducted completely paperless with the use of a wireless device such as a tablet and scanner, which are used to scan item barcodes assigned to bin locations.
Freight-Forwarding Logistics: Consolidate | Ship | Transfer - Enables the ability to leverage inbound shipments from mass procurement consolidation, letting your warehouse act like a well oiled 3PL. Freight-forwarding logistics enable orders to flow into and out of the warehouse using BizAutomation to distribute orders based on put-away, ship-out, or transfer-to workflow.
Inventory transfers that enable the movement of inventory within a warehouse, from one location to another (Aisle, Rack, Shelf, and/or Bin).
Create multiple physical warehouses - Generate multiple warehouses, which can be anything you use to store stock, such as a traditional “Warehouse”, or alternate definitions such as “Store”, “Truck” “Vending Machine”, “Kiosk”, etc.
Internal Locations
Virtual Warehouses / 3rd Party (e.g., 3PL) WMS Connector - Create a Virtual Warehouse Location in BizAutomation, then API connect to any 3rd party warehouse management system (WMS) that supports outside API connectivity. This can be particularly useful when most of your inbound inventory comes from few large suppliers (These warehouses usually are labeled by suppliers).
Warehouse Archiving - Archive warehouses after they’re no longer needed.
Map default warehouses
Warehouses can be selected while building an order internally, or auto-set from the self-service Ecommerce platform, based on several criteria.
