WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR ENTERPRISE BUSINESSES

Let's first get clear on the term "inventory control," which is not a synonym for "inventory management" as many in the warehousing industry mistakenly believe. Inventory control refers to specific aspects of the overall organization, tracking, and management of inventory. To improve inventory control across multiple facilities, you need enterprise-scale warehouse management software that will regulate and maximize your company's warehouse inventory. Warehouse management software includes inventory management tools, but it might not be obvious to a business owner like yourself how to use those inventory management tools for the specific purpose of controlling inventory within the warehouse. Our software solutions provide comprehensive inventory control features that will track a lot of "moving parts" as parts are assembled into units, as orders are fulfilled, and finally as packaged goods are shipped out to customers, if not transferred to storage.

The best inventory management tools to look for should be based on corporate needs and operations workflows that already exist at the facility. There are three key tools, or features, you will need no matter what exactly you're warehousing. Those features are a traditional warehouse inventory management tool, which your distribution center employees need in order to fulfill customer orders on time; handheld inventory management devices for your warehouse workers so that they are able to view in-stock inventory quantities and quickly locate items; and a centralized dashboard control center within the software itself for your upper-management staff to use in order to manage, oversee, adjust, and fulfill every aspect of your customer orders, including but not limited to collecting and tracking vendor relations data, customer relations data, sales data, and employee data. FTx Warehouse comes with these three tools, as key software features, and so much more.

The best price book modules will enable you to easily create and manage your price book items individually with pertinent information including the item's description, cost, price, department assignment, purchase and sub unit breakdown relationship, vendor part, and tree information for quick mass updates and report filtering. Our module will allow you to create UPC aliases so that when manufacturers change the UPCs of items, you will be able to reflect the change and turn the prior UPC into an alias so no data is lost. Our customers have told us that this alone has eliminated many headaches for them. FTx Warehouse also allows you to create pricing zones and pricing exceptions, as well as enable you to input promotions, buy downs, system discounts, vendor parts and kits, and even record commissions as inventory is sold.

It helps with maintaining inventory, offering useful tools to cashiers to maximize their efficiency and inventory tracking, manage warehouse operations, and fulfill customer orders.
