Flexibility
Dexterity WMS is a standard system that is configured to your specific requirements. The software is based on standard products; SQL Server database and Microsoft Access forms running on a standard Microsoft Windows operating system. The transaction server allows user definable transactions to be built. As businesses operate in different ways, the transaction interfaces and rules are flexible to make sure the system fits your operation.
Traceability
Goods receiving/putaway is one of the leading applications for real-time systems. These processes are recorded by the system, which means that goods are always put away in the correct location and traceable. Further traceability benefits include the identification of goods not ordered or incorrect deliveries, stock out occurrences are reduced and inventory status is immediately updated.
Transparency
Along with traceability comes transparency. The stcokc ontrol system allows the actions of operators to be monitored closely, ensuring that if a fault occurs the source can be found and corrected.
Visibility
Dexterity allows managers to see the real-time state of the warehouse using Dexterity Dashboard, a powerful tool that gives a visual representation of all warehouse activities and allows managers to set up and monitor Key Performance Indicators [more]
"The Dexterity WMS solution was ideal to integrate with Sage MMS/200 and Barcode-IT made our barcoding ideas into a reality. The WMS has allowed our operation to be much more efficient and picking accuracy is almost 100%. Staff literally can't pick the wrong items now!" - Andy Johnson, Financial Controller at Kays Medical - Read the full case study [here]
Paperless Workplace
A real-time Warehouse Management System makes the concept of a paperless warehouse a reality. A paperless warehouse means a reduced amount on paperwork and clerical costs, improved efficiency of staff and more accurate documentation. Therefore fewer mistakes and fewer errors!
Improved Customer Satisfaction
Sales and marketing operations can also benefit from accurate real-time information. For fast moving environments, sales people with access to accurate current inventory levels can make better-informed decisions when committing to customer delivery schedules. This leads to improved confidence in delivery promises and therefore high customer satisfaction levels.
