Integrated Warehouse Management and Warehouse Execution System
Softeon introduced a new integrated warehouse management system (WMS) and warehouse execution system (WES).
The combined solution provides visibility, orchestration, and optimization of order picking and related processes, including maximizing materials handling system utilization.
Uniquely, the solution also greatly benefits more manual DCs.
Softeon’s WMS and WES solutions are available as stand-alone platforms but are now also being deployed together as a powerful Warehouse Management and Execution System.
“This truly is a game changer in distribution software with Softeon now delivering on the promise of the autonomous, self-running WMS.”
In stand-alone deployments, Softeon’s WES can turbocharge aging WMS without the need for a full software replacement.
According to Gilmore, the new joint solution is helping companies achieve double-digit improvements in productivity, reduced supervisory labor, increased throughput, improved materials handling system utilization, and enhanced labor planning.
In a recent article, Gilmore’s view is that WES is evolving in a way that makes it essential to concepts like the “smart” or “autonomous” warehouse, especially if the WES has WMS-level functions in areas like labor management and cartonization.
“To get to the fully smart warehouse, you need WES and WMS working together,” says Gilmore.
