Unlocking the Full Potential of TouchPath

Blog

In the complex world of supply chain management, efficient and accurate warehouse operations are essential. To achieve this, businesses are increasingly turning to advanced TouchPath for solutions that go beyond traditional capabilities. One such solution extends the functionality of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, providing innovative tools that revolutionize how warehouses operate.

Enhanced Stock Allocation

One of the standout features of this advanced WMS is its ability to improve on the ERP’s stock allocation capabilities. By implementing First In, First Out (FIFO), First Expired, First Out (FEFO), and customizable allocation rules, inventory management becomes more precise. This ensures that products move efficiently through the supply chain, reducing waste and optimizing stock levels. The system leverages real-time data to manage inventory rotation, thereby enhancing overall warehouse efficiency.

Comprehensive Control and Tracking

Beyond the limitations of traditional ERP systems, TouchPath introduces robust control over pallets, cartons, and lots, alongside detailed serial number tracking. This level of granularity allows businesses to maintain comprehensive oversight of every item within the warehouse. By effectively managing these elements, the system mitigates risks associated with misplaced or mismanaged products, thereby supporting accurate tracking from receipt to dispatch.

Guided Putaway and Picking

TouchPath features guided putaway and picking processes, transforming traditional paper-based operations into a seamless digital experience. Using customized rules, the system guides employees on optimal storage locations, ensuring efficient utilization of warehouse space. Paperless picking further streamlines operations, reducing errors and accelerating order fulfillment. This technology-driven approach enhances worker productivity and ensures consistent accuracy across warehouse tasks.

Streamlined Shop Floor and Task Management

A paperless shop floor drastically reduces manual errors and enhances operational transparency. TouchPath facilitates efficient task and resource management by automating assignments and monitoring progress in real-time. This ensures that the right resources are deployed at the right time, optimizing labor and improving throughput. Businesses can anticipate and mitigate bottlenecks, leading to smoother, more predictable operations.

Efficient Auto-Replenishment and Cycle Counting

To maintain optimal stock levels, the WMS includes an auto-replenishment feature for pickface locations. This intelligent system anticipates inventory needs and prompts swift replenishment, preventing stockouts and maintaining the flow of goods. Additionally, automatic cycle count worksheet generation, guided by ABC codes and last counted dates, ensures consistent inventory accuracy. This proactive approach to inventory management reduces discrepancies and streamlines auditing processes.

A Comprehensive Solution for Modern Warehouses

TouchPath isn’t just a transactional tool; it’s a transformative solution that empowers businesses to maximize the capabilities of their ERPs. By incorporating advanced features like improved stock allocation, comprehensive control, guided processes, and automated management tasks, TouchPath provides a powerful platform that drives operational excellence.
