Real-Time Inventory Management

Automated Stock Updates

Integrate your WMS (e.g., NetSuite WMS, SAP EWM, Manhattan) with ERP and eCommerce platforms to sync stock levels in real-time. Flowgear ensures that stock changes due to incoming orders, returns, or new inventory are instantly updated across all systems, preventing stockouts and overselling.

Inventory Tracking Across Multiple Warehouses

Flowgear enables you to integrate WMS across multiple warehouse locations, providing centralized visibility and control of inventory levels. This ensures that inventory can be managed efficiently across regions and warehouses, optimizing stock allocation and fulfillment.

Automated Stock Replenishment

Flowgear can connect your WMS with procurement and supplier systems, automatically triggering stock replenishment when inventory falls below predefined levels. This ensures that stock levels remain optimal without the need for manual intervention.

Order Fulfillment and Shipping Automation

Automated Order Processing

Integrate your WMS with ERP, eCommerce platforms, and shipping carriers to automate the entire pick-pack-ship process. Flowgear ensures that once an order is placed, it is automatically routed to the appropriate warehouse for picking and packing, with shipping labels generated and tracking details updated in real time.

Shipping and Delivery Integration

Flowgear can integrate WMS with logistics platforms (e.g., FedEx, UPS, DHL) to automate shipping label creation and delivery tracking. This streamlines the fulfillment process and keeps customers informed with real-time updates on their orders.

Order Prioritization and Routing

Automatically prioritize orders based on criteria like shipping speed, delivery location, or customer tier. Flowgear can integrate WMS with order management systems to ensure that high-priority or time-sensitive orders are processed and shipped first.

Warehouse Automation and Robotics

Automated Storage and Retrieval

Flowgear can integrate your WMS with Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS) or robotics systems, streamlining the movement of goods in and out of storage. This reduces the need for manual intervention, improving accuracy and speeding up fulfillment times.

Real-Time Inventory Counting

Integrate WMS with barcode scanners, RFID systems, or drones to automate inventory counting and cycle counts. Flowgear ensures that inventory counts are automatically updated in real-time, minimizing discrepancies and ensuring accurate stock levels.

Workflow Automation for Picking and Packing

Flowgear can integrate WMS with warehouse automation tools, such as conveyors or automated guided vehicles (AGVs), to automate the picking and packing process. This improves order accuracy and reduces labor costs.

Cross-Docking and Multi-Warehouse Management

Cross-Docking Optimization

Integrate your WMS with logistics and inventory management systems to automate cross-docking processes. Flowgear ensures that incoming shipments are immediately routed for outbound delivery without the need for storage, reducing handling costs and improving speed.

Multi-Warehouse Synchronization

Flowgear can integrate WMS systems across multiple warehouses, synchronizing inventory data and optimizing order routing based on stock availability and warehouse location. This ensures that orders are fulfilled from the most efficient warehouse, reducing shipping costs and delivery times.

Automated Inter-Warehouse Transfers

Automatically trigger stock transfers between warehouses when inventory runs low in one location but is available in another. Flowgear can streamline inter-warehouse transfers, reducing stock shortages and ensuring smooth operations across your distribution network.

Supplier and Procurement Integration

Automated Supplier Communication

Flowgear can integrate WMS with supplier and procurement systems to automate purchase orders and delivery tracking. This ensures that suppliers receive real-time updates on inventory levels, reducing lead times and improving supplier collaboration.

Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI)

For businesses using a VMI model, Flowgear can integrate WMS with supplier systems to give vendors real-time visibility into stock levels. This allows suppliers to manage their inventory replenishment, ensuring that stock is automatically maintained at optimal levels.

Automated Returns and Reverse Logistics

Flowgear can automate the return process by integrating WMS with logistics and supplier systems. This ensures that returned goods are processed quickly and inventory is updated in real-time, streamlining reverse logistics operations.

Data-Driven Warehouse Performance

Warehouse Performance Dashboards

Integrate your WMS with business intelligence tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) to create real-time dashboards that track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as order accuracy, pick times, packing efficiency, and labor utilization. Flowgear instantly provides the data needed to make informed decisions and optimize warehouse performance.

Labor Management and Efficiency

Flowgear can integrate WMS with workforce management tools to track labor productivity, shift patterns, and task allocation. This helps optimize labor scheduling based on workload and demand, improving overall warehouse efficiency.

Cost and Inventory Turnover Analysis

Automatically track costs associated with warehousing, such as inventory carrying costs, labor expenses, and space utilization. Flowgear can integrate WMS with financial systems to analyze inventory turnover and identify areas for cost savings and operational improvements.

Compliance and Safety Management

Regulatory Compliance and Reporting

Automatically generate reports for compliance with industry regulations by integrating WMS with compliance management systems. Flowgear ensures that safety protocols, hazardous material handling, and other regulatory requirements are tracked and reported accurately.

Inventory Traceability and Lot Tracking

Integrate WMS with ERP and supply chain systems to ensure full traceability of products and materials. Flowgear enables businesses to track batches and lot numbers, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements for industries like pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and manufacturing.

Safety and Equipment Monitoring

Flowgear can integrate WMS with IoT and safety monitoring systems to ensure compliance with safety regulations. This includes tracking equipment maintenance schedules, monitoring warehouse conditions, and generating alerts for unsafe conditions.
