Hello. I am interested in being considered for your inventory system project. I have been developing solutions for the Third Party Logistics warehousing and transportation industry since 1992.
I have created MS Access applications for warehousing, inventory, dispatching, customer service, etc.
In regard to your specific project, there are many details that I would like to discuss that you may or may not of already thought of. A few examples are:
• What do you use to track inventory now and how will that data be populated in your new system?
• Are you envisioning maintenance screens for adding new SKU's and locations?
• At time of receipt, besides recording of SKU and quantity, are there other items that need to be associated with the receipt: Lot numbers, bill of lading numbers, employee who received it, inbound carrier, etc?
• Are you envisioning the system to suggest storage locations to ensure high volume items are stored closest to main aisleways?
• Are you envisioning a way to cycle count and/or adjust inventory either up or down?
• How do you receive orders from your customers and can that be integrated with the system to auto generate pick tickets with SKU, rack location, quantity needed, etc?
I apologize and do not want to be long winded, but there are alot of details in setting up a true WMS that ensures the integrity of your inventory.
Thank you for your consideration, I hope to hear from you.
