You may be facing several challenges in your warehouse obstructing your webshop’s success. By choosing a Warehouse Management System (WMS) you can be well on your way to avoid mistakes like the ones mentioned above.

The right WMS solution can help to ensure that your customers will stay satisfied and return, again and again, rewarding you after experiencing a smooth process from the time they placed their order to the time they received their items. They don’t see what goes in between and they couldn’t care less. But you know that it’s important because you need to be able to handle all the steps in the process between the order placement to the shipment.

First and foremost, it is essential that you choose the ERP system that suits your business needs best. If we take a closer look at Microsoft ERP systems – more specifically Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central / NAV or Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operation / AX, these systems provide a wealth of opportunities in various functional areas bringing together your entire business.

The Mobile WMS solution from Tasklet Factory supports all versions of the ERP systems and covers and connects both your warehouse and your webshop. The solution enables you to share data and make better, data-driven decisions across your entire operation, from receiving an order, to pick an order and to ship an order.

Selecting and implementing a Mobile WMS solution from Tasklet Factory helps you work smarter, improving efficiency and visibility across your business processes.

When your Microsoft ERP system is in place, the next step is the implementation of the WMS solution. The benefits of choosing Mobile WMS are visible right away:

• Fast and effective receiving and picking of sold items
• Elimination of errors when handling and picking several orders at the same time
• Optimization of picking and put-away routes
• Lot/Batch/Serial number tracking
• Effective tracking of inventory
• Minimize errors in shipment
• Information regarding storing temperatures
• Improvement of customer satisfaction
• Reduction of warehouse costs (FIFO)

As the word indicates a Mobile WMS solution should be user friendly and accessible from anywhere at any time and have offline functionality. When the handheld device or the scanner does not have any connection to WIFI, your employees will still be able to easily access key workflows and data to avoid downtime.

Perhaps even more important is the ability to enter and store data all in one process. When employees can enter data directly from the field, it reduces the risk of errors that occur when they must collect data in one place and re-enter it into the system later. Recommended hardware for webshops can be found here.

We understand that user-friendliness is an important feature for your webshop to onboard new staff smoothly. With Mobile WMS new employees can be compliable with the solution and work on their own within hours. Each functional area of the warehouse operates with certain kinds of data while having no use for other kinds. The user interface should be configurable for each user so that only the most relevant information is presented.
