Palletised stock in a distribution warehouse

What a distributor runs on .wms.

  1. Retailer EDI mapped per trading partner, from order to despatch advice.
  2. A B2B catalogue and cart over live stock for trade customers.
  3. Mixed-SKU pallets with SSCC labels and pallet consignments for store deliveries.
  4. Inspect on receipt, with stock held until it passes.
  5. Connected to NetSuite, SYSPRO, MYOB Advanced, Cin7, Jiwa and Jim2.

EDI with the retailers you supply.

Orders, despatch advices and receipts are mapped per trading partner and flow without re-keying, so a national retailer’s rules are met on every carton and every label.

ERP, ecommerce, marketplaces and EDI partners connect through the integration hub to .wms, which connects to carriers, exports, Power BI and .tms.ERPEcommerceMarketplacesEDI partnersIntegration hub.wmsCarriersExportsPower BI.tms
How data moves.

Trade ordering over live stock.

A catalogue and cart storefront runs over live warehouse stock, with approvals and single sign-on, so trade customers order what is actually on the shelf.

Pallets built right, receipts checked first.

Mixed-SKU pallets are built and labelled with SSCC for store deliveries. Inbound stock can be inspected and held until it passes. Kits are assembled with available-to-make in view.

Paint, gas and a second branch.

DG data and paperwork for paint, gas and chemicals are built in. When a second branch opens, it runs on the same system with its own stock and the same rules.
