Why DLOC+?
DLOC+ is a modular and scalable, client/server system, utilizing Windows compatible, point and click, drag and drop operations. The use of radio frequency (RF) terminals and bar codes eliminate operator input errors, and provide instantaneous database updates. DLOC+ provides near perfect inventory accuracy, helps eliminate most picking and storage errors and makes best use of your warehouse space. You have immediate visibility into all orders, receipts, inventory and storage locations. Most importantly, DLOC+ provides a rapid and measurable Return on Investment (ROI).
Why Buy?
The purchase of the DLOC+ Warehouse Control System is justified by your return on investment. Case studies show system payback in as little as six months! Some major savings areas: Inventory Accuracy over 99% (allowing for reduction of excess inventory), Stock Rotation (eliminating product aging and inventory loss), Elimination of Picking/Shipping Errors (slashing costs related to correction of shipping mistakes), Labor Savings (through system suggested putaway and picking locations and elimination of costly physical inventories). Realize these savings and many more…….
DLOC+ System Features:
- Receiving
DLOC+ receiving includes expected receipts (purchase orders, internal transfers, return authorizations). Blind receipts are also accepted. Received product can be directed to quality control areas, staging areas (for later putaway) or handed off immediately to the DLOC+ putaway module. Cross docking to outbound orders is also supported.
- Putaway
DLOC+ provides directed putaway on RF terminals (or paper based putaway lists), which suggests the most appropriate storage locations, such as: 1) locations where the product is currently stored, optimizing cube utilization 2) empty locations reserved for that product 3) locations that would be filled to a user provided percentage by the amount of product to be stored or 4) locations within a user provided travel distance of designated locations. The operator will ultimately supply DLOC+ with the exact location where the product is stored.
- Rewarehousing/Replenishment
DLOC+ establishes replenishment tasks based on forward pick area restocking quantities. These tasks can be initiated either a) before orders/waves are picked (to allow forward pick areas to be stocked before picking begins) or b) after orders/waves are picked (to fill the forward pick areas after the days picking is complete). User directed rewarehousings are also initiated from this module.
- Counting
DLOC+ provides cycle counting by item and by location. Counts can be established one of three ways: 1) through a nightly scheduled job that does not require user intervention 2) through the user manually initiating the DLOC+ counting process or 3) if the result of a normal pick or replenishment drives the location balance to a user specified threshold, count tasks will be created.
- Order Processing
DLOC+ provides a module which allows the user to perform logical groupings of orders, and to make adjustments to orders where necessary. Comments are allowed at the order line and order level. The user can establish waves, or groupings of orders, into a logical subset before beginning the picking process. Priority levels can be put on orders and waves also. Waves can be forecasted, allowing the user to see projected order fill rates. The user is given the option of initiating replenishments before the wave is released for picking, to ensure the forward pick areas are fully stocked.
- Picking
Users can pick by orders or waves, on both RF and fixed terminals. DLOC+ provides directed picking on RF terminals (or paper based lists), which suggests the most appropriate picking locations, such as: 1) locations that will be depleted or nearly depleted if the product is picked from that location 2) locations that allow the entire order line amount to be picked in a single stop or 3) locations that satisfy lotting, serialized or LIFO/FIFO requirements. The operator will ultimately supply DLOC+ with the exact location where the product is picked from. Checks will be in place to ensure that locations under audit are not eligible for picking. The user is also given the option to pre-assign bar coded license plates to orders and/or waves, to facilitate piece picking or ‘pick and pass’ operations.
- Shipping/Consolidation
DLOC+ provides a shipping/consolidation module that allows: 1) Consolidation – Allows the user to repack or rework product that has been picked. This includes reboxing picked material to meet small parcel requirements and palletizing product for subsequent truck loading. DLOC+ makes extensive use of ‘drag and drop’ operations, to allow the user to quickly build better cases and pallets. 2) Shipping Labels – DLOC+ prints common labels, interfaces seamlessly with third party label producing software and accepts rating information. 3) Loading – Palletized shipments are loaded onto trucks, with tracking capability per pallet load. 4) Shipping Documentation – Standard packing lists and manifests are printed, with options by order, wave, pallet load and entire truck shipments. Bills of Lading and Master Bills of Lading can also be produced. 5) Truck Closing – Trucks are closed out, triggering the appropriate transactions to the respective host system.
- Warehouse and Product Maintenance
DLOC+ provides the capability to load warehouse setup and product information through setup wizards. The system also provides fixed terminal screens to perform necessary maintenance on these tables, such as product information, warehouse location and configuration information, system rules adjustments, etc….
- Productivity Reporting
DLOC+ provides standard system reporting and an interface to popular reporting tools, if the user decides to generate ad-hoc reports. A built-in function extracts data dumps of user specified tables in spreadsheet format, that can be imported into Excel or Access.
- Interface/Internet
DLOC+ supports flat file transfer or direct database access of the DLOC+ database from the client system. A module is also provided for the clients customers to access order information through the internet.
