Distribution business is one of the most complexed and challenging in the logistics environment, having to deal often with high turnover volumes, picking & packing in loose quantities and prioritizing deliveries.

This is more so for FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) where tracking of expiry date, shelf life lot number and also delivery destination in event of product recall is of utmost importance.

Due to the fast moving business nature, Symphony WMS-Online has been specially designed and streamlined for a distribution operation process. WMS-ONLINE offers flexibility in the way orders are handled and ad-hoc order changes. In the event of stock out, orders can be handled as back orders and cross docked where applicable. Orders can be picked based on delivery routes.

WMS-ONLINE can be confirmed to track inventory down the supply chain into the retail outlets and integrating with the POS (Point Of Sale) system. Using a min/max system, a PO (Purchase Order) or a replenishment task could be triggered to the distribution warehouse.

Symphony WMS-ONLINE, when used together with the Wireless Module, offers higher throughput, real-time inputs, and increased picking accuracy in a paperless warehousing environment.

Symphony WMS-ONLINE when used together with the B2B Module can fully integrate with front-end portal / e-market place, offering real-time e-fulfillment of front-end orders.
