From ERP back office to business enabler – why Portwest went to multi-tenant ERP with Infor CloudSuite Fashion – Diginomica

One of the biggest missing pieces in modern ERP? Industry (cloud) customer stories. Modernizing ERP systems is one way to push ahead with business transformation – but how do you pull it off?
What we need are the field lessons. What are the benefits? And what are the roadblocks?
When I had the chance to talk to Infor customer Portwest about their recent upgrade to Infor CloudSuite Fashion, “Cloud” means too many things these days. The term is watered down to the point of uselessness. But I agree with the use of “cloud” in this case: CloudSuite Fashion is a multi-tenant industry ERP solution. And how has it worked out for Portwest?
Soon, I was on video chat, across the pond with Paul Forry, who is Head of Information Technology at Portwest. Despite pandemic adversities, Portwest has good numbers to back up their moves: Portwest has grown at 24% per annum over the past two years. They currently manufacture and distribute more than 1,800 products and 35,000 SKUs, with facilities across the UK, US, Ireland, Poland, Dubai, Australia, Myanmar, China, Bangladesh, Italy, and Albania.
I knew Portwest had recently done an EDI integration with CloudSuite. But there was plenty more to learn. My top question? How does Forry explain the success of Portwest in such a challenging economy? He responded:
We’ve moved pretty much everything lock, stock and barrel to the cloud. All our systems, file servers, our basic web servers – we put everything on either AWS or some other localized web hosting system.
Portwest’s international expansion has been crucial for growth. Forry continued:
When I joined ten years ago, we were very much a small, family-owned business. We were doing well, but we were mostly in the UK. Then we started to branch into Europe… Now, we’re in every country in Europe. After that, we moved into the US and Australia. Now we’re concentrating on the Middle East and North African markets – and South America as well.
Building their own factories was another key:
A decade ago, we were reliant on Chinese suppliers for nearly everything. But in the last ten years, we’ve also built our own two factories. They now account for 60% of our output.
I’m no clothing expert, but one thing jumped out at me from the Portwest web site: lots of handsome, heavy-duty workwear, along with a lot of flame-resistant gear, and PPE-compatible outfits.
Our CEO has two simple models. The first one is: keep it simple… He likes everything simple, and easy to manufacture, easy to get on the market. His other [mantra] is that he wants us to be the best PPE gear and company in the world, not necessarily the biggest, but the best – with the best attention to detail and quality of the product we actually sell. It’s very important.
But none of this could happen without a parallel investment in IT. Forry:
I’ve been head of IT for about three years now (I’ve been with the company ten years). I suppose the main contribution that I’ve made in the last four years has been those moves to the cloud. Four years ago, there were only three of us in the entirety of the IT department in Portwest. Now, we split into two, the digital side and the IT side. There’s about 16 of us in total between the two departments. That’s the kind of growth that’s needed to drive the company forward.
Portwest’s 20-percent-a-year growth strategy means one thing: Forry and team must be on their game.
We’ve achieved that goal for each of the last ten years, and exceeded it in most cases. We needed better infrastructure, we needed better systems in the cloud; we needed a better ERP system…  I’ve concentrated on making sure it was delivered.
Now that Portwest is moving from older Infor releases to the multi-tenant CloudSuite, I get to grind an axe of my own: why multi-tenant ERP matters (some vendors are still in denial about this). So, I asked Forry: why the move? He told me:
We moved to single-tenant [ERP] in about 2013. From 2016 onwards, Infor has always dangled that carrot of multi-tenant in front of us. We resisted initially, but as the company grew, we [reconsidered].
One motivating factor? Forry explained: all the way back to their first ERP environment in 1999, they made an cost-of-goods configuration mistake, Over the years, they found some workarounds, “but it was messy,” recalls Forry. Then it got worse:
As we grew and expanded, it did become a much bigger problem. When we were talking to Infor in 2018, we were wondering how we could correct this problem. It soon became clear that we were never going to be able to correct it with single tenant. But that we could correct it if we moved to multi-tenant, because we’d be taking our data out. We could use SQL to correct it, and then put it back in the multi-tenant environment.
But that wasn’t the only factor behind the CloudSuite Fashion move:
The other driving force was that because we’re on single-tenant, the version we were on was always going to be the version we were on. We would never be able to upgrade because we’re on single-tenant, to the latest version.
In a fast-moving industry, access to new features is non-negotiable:
There were just so many more features available in multi-tenant that we needed to take advantage of, because of the way we were growing. So that was the second key thing. 
When you make the ERP business case pitch, you need more than bug fixes. Access to new features sealed the deal:
That’s what really sold it to the board of directors when we took the project to them, after several months of discussions with Infor. When I was able to demonstrate that we were going to be able to do all of this, that we weren’t able to do up to now, that just made it so much easier.
What types of functionality sealed the deal?
Intercompany invoicing, moving away from a very unstable kind of stream server environment to use an IDM, and much more control over our documents, etc.
Forry’s team also wanted access to CloudSuite’s workflow automation (I’ve delved into Infor workflow automation before, see: Not your typical ERP upgrade story – how Midwest Wheel uses Infor CloudSuite to build workflows on the fly.). So, with those benefits in mind, and the business case approved, the project kicked off in November 2020. The project went live in September 2021. The timing was tight – if the project had spilled into the peak of Portwest’s fall season, they would have had to postpone it for a year, but Forry’s team got it done. And how did the go-live go?
In general, it was very successful. We had some issues initially in the beginning, you don’t make a move or transition to a system like that without some issues. But thankfully, we have good people to help us, and support from Infor was excellent at the time. So we got through them relatively painlessly.
When I asked Forry for the key to a successful cloud ERP go-live, his answer didn’t surprise:
The key to it for us was having the right people, the right partners, and testing, testing, testing, – and then more testing.
And how did they nail that testing down? By involving the business users and domain experts:
It was having people in each department who knew what they were doing, and knew what had to be tested. And: identifying those people and sitting down in a room with them, and coming up with a project plan, and what we were going to test, how we were going to test it, and how we were going to deal with any issues we came across.
Of Portwest’s 4,500 employees, about 300 of them will actively use the new global CloudSuite system. So far, so good, says Forry.
When I evaluate a new ERP system, one of my gut checks is: how is it helping the business compete? We can’t settle for back office efficiencies anymore. As Forry told Infor:
This move to multi-tenant Infor CloudSuite also helps us address issues in the movement of our stock, and forms a foundation for plans in the coming months to ensure standardized processes in our acquisition targets. We have aggressive plans to become a £1 billion company by 2025, and acquisitions and increasing our salesforce are going to be the main engines of that growth. We are also undertaking a deep examination of our customer profiles and looking at how we can diversify to sustain our double-digit growth. Infor CloudSuite will be at the heart of all of these initiatives.
If your ERP system is “at the heart” of your business initiatives, you’ve passed my move-beyond-the-back-office ERP test. And how is absorbing new product features going? After all, that was a key driver to all of this. Forry says he’s glad to get the monthly rundown of what’s coming down the line for CloudSuite fashion. He says that they haven’t gotten into the new functionality yet, but they definitely will:
We’re still in the infancy of multi-tenant, but yes, it is nice to know that we’re always getting those updates, and those additional features.
Forry’s team isn’t stopping there. Plans for this year include integrating factories in Bangladesh and Myanmar. Portwest will also onboard an Albanian facility – part of a recent acquisition in Italy. A central goal: get a standard template in place across these facilities. After that, as Infor reports, Portwest will deploy integrated business intelligence and analytics, and begin the full automation of a UK warehouse.
Yes, that should keep Forry’s team busy. We’ll definitely look to get an update on this one.

Managerial Accounting Definition – Investopedia

Managerial accounting is the practice of identifying, measuring, analyzing, interpreting, and communicating financial information to managers for the pursuit of an organization's goals. It varies from financial accounting because the intended purpose of managerial accounting is to assist users internal to the company in making well-informed business decisions.
Managerial accounting encompasses many facets of accounting aimed at improving the quality of information delivered to management about business operation metrics. Managerial accountants use information relating to the cost and sales revenue of goods and services generated by the company. Cost accounting is a large subset of managerial accounting that specifically focuses on capturing a company's total costs of production by assessing the variable costs of each step of production, as well as fixed costs. It allows businesses to identify and reduce unnecessary spending and maximize profits.
Read more about the common concepts and techniques of managerial accounting.
The key difference between managerial accounting and financial accounting relates to the intended users of the information. Managerial accounting information is aimed at helping managers within the organization make well-informed business decisions, while financial accounting is aimed at providing financial information to parties outside the organization.
Financial accounting must conform to certain standards, such as generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All publicly held companies are required to complete their financial statements in accordance with GAAP as a requisite for maintaining their publicly traded status. Most other companies in the U.S. conform to GAAP in order to meet debt covenants often required by financial institutions offering lines of credit.
Because managerial accounting is not for external users, it can be modified to meet the needs of its intended users. This may vary considerably by company or even by department within a company. For example, managers in the production department may want to see their financial information displayed as a percentage of units produced in the period. The HR department manager may be interested in seeing a graph of salaries by employee over a period of time. Managerial accounting is able to meet the needs of both departments by offering information in whatever format is most beneficial to that specific need.
Product costing deals with determining the total costs involved in the production of a good or service. Costs may be broken down into subcategories, such as variable, fixed, direct, or indirect costs. Cost accounting is used to measure and identify those costs, in addition to assigning overhead to each type of product created by the company.
Managerial accountants calculate and allocate overhead charges to assess the full expense related to the production of a good. The overhead expenses may be allocated based on the number of goods produced or other activity drivers related to production, such as the square footage of the facility. In conjunction with overhead costs, managerial accountants use direct costs to properly value the cost of goods sold and inventory that may be in different stages of production.
Marginal costing (sometimes called cost-volume-profit analysis) is the impact on the cost of a product by adding one additional unit into production. It is useful for short-term economic decisions. The contribution margin of a specific product is its impact on the overall profit of the company. Margin analysis flows into break-even analysis, which involves calculating the contribution margin on the sales mix to determine the unit volume at which the business’s gross sales equal total expenses. Break-even point analysis is useful for determining price points for products and services.
Managerial accountants perform cash flow analysis in order to determine the cash impact of business decisions. Most companies record their financial information on the accrual basis of accounting. Although accrual accounting provides a more accurate picture of a company's true financial position, it also makes it harder to see the true cash impact of a single financial transaction. A managerial accountant may implement working capital management strategies in order to optimize cash flow and ensure the company has enough liquid assets to cover short-term obligations.
When a managerial accountant performs cash flow analysis, he will consider the cash inflow or outflow generated as a result of a specific business decision. For example, if a department manager is considering purchasing a company vehicle, he may have the option to either buy the vehicle outright or get a loan. A managerial accountant may run different scenarios by the department manager depicting the cash outlay required to purchase outright upfront versus the cash outlay over time with a loan at various interest rates.
Inventory turnover is a calculation of how many times a company has sold and replaced inventory in a given time period. Calculating inventory turnover can help businesses make better decisions on pricing, manufacturing, marketing, and purchasing new inventory. A managerial accountant may identify the carrying cost of inventory, which is the amount of expense a company incurs to store unsold items. If the company is carrying an excessive amount of inventory, there could be efficiency improvements made to reduce storage costs and free up cash flow for other business purposes.
Managerial accounting also involves reviewing the constraints within a production line or sales process. Managerial accountants help determine where bottlenecks occur and calculate the impact of these constraints on revenue, profit, and cash flow. Managers can then use this information to implement changes and improve efficiencies in the production or sales process.
Financial leverage refers to a company’s use of borrowed capital in order to acquire assets and increase its return on investments. Through balance sheet analysis, managerial accountants can provide management with the tools they need to study the company’s debt and equity mix in order to put leverage to its most optimal use. Performance measures such as return on equity, debt to equity, and return on invested capital help management identify key information about borrowed capital, prior to relaying these statistics to outside sources. It is important for management to review ratios and statistics regularly to be able to appropriately answer questions from its board of directors, investors, and creditors.
Appropriately managing accounts receivable (AR) can have positive effects on a company's bottom line. An accounts receivable aging report categorizes AR invoices by the length of time they have been outstanding. For example, an AR aging report may list all outstanding receivables less than 30 days, 30 to 60 days, 60 to 90 days, and 90+ days. Through a review of outstanding receivables, managerial accountants can indicate to appropriate department managers if certain customers are becoming credit risks. If a customer routinely pays late, management may reconsider doing any future business on credit with that customer.
Budgets are extensively used as a quantitative expression of the company’s plan of operation. Managerial accountants utilize performance reports to note deviations of actual results from budgets. The positive or negative deviations from a budget also referred to as budget-to-actual variances, are analyzed in order to make appropriate changes going forward.
Managerial accountants analyze and relay information related to capital expenditure decisions. This includes the use of standard capital budgeting metrics, such as net present value and internal rate of return, to assist decision-makers on whether to embark on capital-intensive projects or purchases. Managerial accounting involves examining proposals, deciding if the products or services are needed, and finding the appropriate way to finance the purchase. It also outlines payback periods so management is able to anticipate future economic benefits.
Managerial accounting also involves reviewing the trendline for certain expenses and investigating unusual variances or deviations. It is important to review this information regularly because expenses that vary considerably from what is typically expected are commonly questioned during external financial audits. This field of accounting also utilizes previous period information to calculate and project future financial information. This may include the use of historical pricing, sales volumes, geographical locations, customer tendencies, or financial information.

Go big and be seen – point of sale displays – Inside Retail Australia

When it comes to marketing and sales, digital may be the trend but we still work, live and shop in a three-dimensional, physical world.
And, according to Pegasus Print Group Sales Manager Ross Muirhead, Point of Sale displays will always have a place in creating exciting, memorable and profitable shopping experiences for your customers as long as we live and breathe in a physical world.
Whether you realise it or not, you’ve probably been influenced by point of sale displays.
Maybe you’ve been tempted by the massive cardboard cutout of your favourite chocolate bar as you race to the check-out lane.
Perhaps that big energy drink in the middle of the aisle helped you realise that you really do need that afternoon kick.
Whatever the case, Point of Sale, or POS, displays have been around for as long as people have shopped in physical stores, and their longevity is a testament to their effectiveness.
The big brands keep pushing them because they actually work.
A prominent POS display gives you more real estate in the store, makes your products hard to miss and – when done creatively – can leave a lasting impression on customers long after they’ve left the store.
Of course, like most things in life, simply having a POS display is not going to guarantee success.
However, with careful planning and the right partner, you can maximise the opportunities that POS displays provide to deliver maximum performance from their use.
So, what are the things to think about?
First, you need to understand the intent of the POS display. What is the desired action you want from people who view the display? Is this display linked to a wider marketing campaign? What products will be stocked on the display?
Being clear on your objective helps make the rest of the planning easier.
Next, you need to think about the location of the display. And by location, we don’t just mean where in the store the display is going, but also what type of store it is going to be located in.
And finally, who is the audience for the display? To answer this, you need to think about the type of store that is going to host the display. What is their customer base like? Is that different to your intended audience? Does it mean a POS has to be tweaked differently from one store to the next?
So, what do successful displays have in common?
Firstly, they are exceptionally designed. Let’s be honest. A POS display simply has to catch the eye and turn heads. If it blends in with the store, then you may as well put your stock on the shelf with everything else. We live in the Instagram and TikTok era. If it’s photo or video-worthy, it might even make an impact digitally!
Secondly, they are immaculately manufactured and constructed. A flimsy production might not stand the test of time (or of kids running through the store!).
And, lastly, location, location, location! They need to be well-placed and installed. Can you get your POS display next to the checkout? Can it be the first thing people see when they walk in? Depending on your intent, you may need to think about where in the shop it is installed.
Whether you’re a POS novice or an experienced campaigner, keeping these things in mind can help ensure your next POS play is a successful one.

Inventory management in an automated world – Modern Materials Handling

Web-services based integration between AS/RS-level software and WMS allows for near real-time visibility into inventory consumption, which in turn supports timely replenishment of the automation. Here, a vertical buffer module solution is used to pick small parts.
Forget the global supply chain snarls for a moment and consider another changing reality with inventory: the increasingly intricate flow of goods and inventory transactions involved inside today’s fulfillment centers.
While warehouse management system (WMS) software solutions have long been responsible for inventory control in DCs, the complexity of inventory flows and inventory visibility in a modern fulfillment center is a far cry from mainly manual DCs of the not too distant past, where one forward picking zone often served the whole operation.
Today, by contrast, fulfillment centers might have multiple zones of automation with subsystems like automated storage and retrieval (AS/RS) solutions or robotic goods-to-person (GTP) systems that may have software that manages some aspects of inventory, along with storage and bin location functions.
Getting these subsystems to interoperate smoothly with WMS when it comes to real-time inventory allocation as part of order release, as well as timely replenishment of SKUs needing by multiple picking systems, is changing the functional needs in the WMS market. Metering the flow of goods around order release is also part of the value proposition for warehouse execution system (WES) software, a category of software that sits between the automation and WMS, and is offered by a mix of vendors, including some WMS providers.
“In today’s distribution, it’s all about product flow,” says Dan Gilmore, chief marketing officer with Softeon, a WMS and WES software provider. “And certainly, there is a segment of the market where DCs are growing larger and more complex. In these environments, that means there’s more and more processes and systems that need to be synchronized. And, if you can’t do that well, you wind up with bottlenecks.”
The core inventory management features in WMS remain relevant, however. WMS solutions still use bar code data capture to verify inventory consumption or moves, and functions like cycle counting and tracking minimum SKU levels as part of managing replenishment of forward pick locations, remain WMS table stakes. But when it comes to metering the flow of inventory to automation as part of a nimbler approach to order release, things are changing.
A primary use for WES is managing order release to processes and systems on the floor in a way that creates a level flow of work that makes the most of the robotics and machinery. The WES market has multiple players, including integrators with WES and WMS vendors that have built up WES capabilities. Major warehouse automation vendors also offer software at the WES and WMS levels.
In most cases, the WMS remains the system of record for most inventory data, but WES functionality is increasingly being deployed for smart order release, with real-time monitoring of inventory levels as part of that. The beauty of WES, says Gilmore, is that it level loads and pulls work through a warehouse, which triggers inventory allocation and replenishment activity.
“Clearly, there is some opportunity now with WES capabilities to achieve a much more level-loaded flow of work, and that’s true where it’s manual processes, or automated facilities, or some combination,” says Gilmore.

Optimal use of goods-to-person automation involves an interplay of labor, machine and inventory resource insights that likely calls for a mix of warehouse execution/warehouse management capabilities.
While some automation subsystems track minimum inventory levels and request inventory from a WMS or a WES, some operations may want the WES to actively monitor inventory in different zones and make the call on when replenishment or other inventory moves are needed, says Gilmore.
“The advantage of letting the WES do it is that it can look at the whole flow of work and inventory more holistically—not just what one goods-to-person system is doing—but all the other automated and manual systems, and manage the whole flow of goods,” says Gilmore.
WMS software is still the transactional foundation for the warehouse, adds Gilmore, and is essential for controlling inventory as part of processes like receiving, putaway, crossdocking, or pack out and shipping workflows.
However, WES shines at the orchestration role as it examines the order pool, looking at resource and inventory availability in the way it releases work and triggers needed inventory allocations, so that with the fewest number of SKUs and inventory replenishments, the DC operation sees maximum throughput in a given amount of time, says Gilmore.
WES capability also helps by dynamically changing work routing decisions. For example, a WES can sense congestion at a put wall system, and temporarily route work that is normally processed by that put wall though some alternative method, like a cart-pick process. Then when congestion at the put-wall system clears, the WES can start releasing work back to the put-wall system.
“This is very different than what most WMS solutions have done in the past,” says Gilmore. “More smarts and machine learning come into play. You want to be able to take advantage of all the optimization opportunities.”
With more automation in warehouses, major WMS vendors have been building out their WES capabilities to communicate on a near constant basis with automation systems when it comes to order release and inventory disposition decisions, notes Sean Elliott, CTO for Körber Supply Chain Software, which offers WMS and WES software.
Generally, WMS tracks and manages inventory at an aggregate level in the DC, while the WES capability is aware of the automation status, knows current inventory levels in the automation, and has logic and rules to prioritize what system to assign the work to.
“You do see more inventory disposition decisions being required for optimal execution,” says Elliott. “WMS vendors have taken on more execution capabilities because it’s the only way you can orchestrate that kind of inventory view into the execution plan. That aggregate inventory view is helping determine what to dispatch, when to dispatch, and when to replenish, which becomes a critical component of how a WMS fosters that execution optimization.”
Near constant communication with automation systems through application programming interfaces (APIs) allow a WMS/WES solution to know the current inventory in different systems, but it’s up to the WES logic to make the smartest order release and inventory allocation decisions, Elliot explains.
On paper, one automation system might be more efficient at fulfilling orders in the order pool, but if that system is in the middle of replenishment and is short on inventory needed to complete the work, a different system may end up being faster, says Elliott. “To make the most optimal decisions, you can’t effectively do that without one system that actually understands the whole truth,” he says.
Some automation solutions are configured to let a WMS, WES or other host system control its inventory, while others have their own inventory software which in some instances triggers inventory replenishment requests.
Even when a host system manages the replenishment for a GTP or AS/RS, it’s typically the software at the automation level that controls aspects bin positions and performs fleet management over the robots or carriers.
It’s typically a division of duties, with WES or WMS capability to do the broader orchestration, but leaving the automation software platform to manage the actual movement of carriers and particulars of bin storage, explains Chris Bratten, manager of logistics consulting at Bastian Solutions, a warehouse integrator and solutions provider whose Exacta software offers WMS and WES capabilities.
Bratten says it’s usually best to have one higher-level system that can manage inventory and order release, but ideally involves granular, two-way communication, with the GTP solution having purview over movements and bin manipulation, and reporting inventory consumption as it happens.
“The host level system is coordinating all the work that needs to happen, and giving the machine parameters about when that work should happen, so the system can be prepared to move efficiently. The host system typically gives it some flexibility in how it completes its tasks,” Bratten says.
Not all GTP systems or system deployments are implemented in the same way, says Bratten, but generally, a WMS, WES, or some other host system oversees inventory levels and replenishment for a GTP solution. “It really can run the gambit from the [GTP] system being completely dependent on the host system [for inventory management], to some version of them working together and sort of holding hands through the process,” says Bratten.

Typically, a higher-level system such as a WES or a WMS is used to manage inventory flow and replenishment of SKUs held in goods-to-person automation, with the GTP solution’s software typically controlling bin manipulation and slotting within the automation.
With some older WMS or host systems, the architecture is such that continuous, API-based inventory reconciliations may be hard to achieve, but for the most part, newer, Web services APIs from major WMS providers make integration between AS/RS and host systems highly effective, says Douglas Card, director of systems and integrator sales for AS/RS solution provider Kardex Remstar.
“It’s gotten much better over the years because of the more open platforms that accept what are known as “REST APIs” which are like a common dialogue for disparate systems to talk to each other easily,” Card says.
With most of Kardex Remstar’s solutions, a WMS or WES functions as the overall inventory management system while detailed inventory data for the AS/RS or a bank of AS/RS machines is managed by Kardex Remstar’s software, says Card. In many deployments, the host system views an AS/RS like “virtual location or bin,” says Card. The host wants to know how much inventory is in the bin, but may not care exactly where it’s stored in the moment.
Monitoring minimum inventory levels can be handled by Kardex Remstar’s software to trigger replenishment, but more typically, the WMS tracks minimum SKU levels and handles the replenishment process.
Card adds that while effective two-way integration with WMS is not difficult to achieve today, one area that does need improvement is that organizations wanting to leverage AS/RS should have processes in place to capture accurate data on item weights and dimensions.
Having accurate weight and dimensional data at the WMS level ensures the AS/RS solution can use that to manage storage. “If you have good dimensional and weight data, it allows you to maximize the cube utilization potential of the system,” says Card.
Ultimately, WMS remains the key system for inventory management in most DCs, but as more DCs become fulfillment centers with automated zones that hold inventory, WES-level visibility into that inventory, and associated rules around dynamic order release, routing and related inventory allocation, becomes more important.
Not all WMS solutions are created equal, of course, with some having more WES capabilities, along with more traditional inventory control functionality. At the end of the day, it’s a more complicated world at the warehouse level, and that complexity involves inventory.
“Automated warehouses require more orchestration and inventory transactions, and this is where WES comes in,” says Laura Bickle, senior offering manager of WES at Honeywell. “WES is smarter in coordinating with each subsystem and decision point. It makes decisions in real-time, allowing for intervention and optimization throughout the fulfillment process. WES enables last-minute decisions that would increase order fulfillment efficiency in the warehouse. Honeywell’s WMS and WES have been tightly integrated to play to the strengths of both systems, with WMS used to plan the order fulfillment and WES executing it, while adjusting to various inventory exceptions that happen in a warehouse every day.”
WES doesn’t necessarily manage all inventory details at the automation level, but it does function like a near real-time intermediary when it comes to inventory, says Bickle, because it constantly exchanges data with various automation systems, and communicates with supply chain level systems that management replenishment from suppliers.
“Industry focus recently has been on integrating the various systems together,” says Bickle. “This opens up real-time communication of data to reduce the unknowns. It provides enough information so customers can efficiently fill orders without having WES control the inventory in every zone of the facility.
“WES ‘talks’ to various automation systems to interchange information needed to intelligently orchestrate order fulfillment, and provide a high-level inventory snapshot to WMS so it can communicate with the upstream systems,” Bickle continues. “This level of integration ensures the systems are in sync irrespective of who manages the inventory. Having a fully integrated WMS and WES enables as much or as little automation and allows for scalability as the warehouse grows.”
For managing material handling needs specifically, many manufacturers are deploying Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) to move…
