RF Warehouse System
The RF Warehouse System provides a wireless, real-time connection with remote devices to handle receiving, inventory, backstock management, and freshness date control. It facilitates receiving by noting exceptions (overages, shortages, unexpected product) to the original PO, and expedites up-to-date product availability. Current product availability is essential in providing high service levels and avoiding failure to ship product on the receiving dock, but not yet reflected in inventory.
RF receiving also handles UPC collection and maintenance. Due to the fluid nature of UPCs (new products, packaging changes, etc.), capturing and maintaining UPCs is an ongoing business challenge for distributors. RF scanning of product during the receiving process drives the accuracy of UPCs, which are essential throughout the supply chain.
Physical inventory and cycle counting via RF scanning devices offers an efficient method for maintaining perpetual inventory. Count variance reports are available to help your staff validate inventory counts prior to posting.
Backstock management is an important facet of warehousing when a finite amount of space exists. With RF, scanning devices are used to put product in back stock locations and replenish pick lines from back stock as picking slot quantities are reduced.
Combined with RF receiving, freshness date control facilitates the receiving and stock rotation of code dated products.
DAC Delivery Manager
DAC Delivery Manager is a comprehensive route delivery system that ensures accurate customer deliveries with electronic signature capture, A/R collections, driver returns, and tote accountability.
Delivery Manager is tightly integrated with other DAC applications, runs on any device with a browser, including smartphones and tablets, and supports Bluetooth scanners.
Returns Management
Product returns are scanned, and an authorization document is produced for the next scheduled delivery. Products returned to the warehouse are scanned again, and only items purchased from your company are accepted for credit.
A put-away document is generated for products that are saleable, and inventory is adjusted automatically. Non-saleable products are moved to return locations for valuation and disposal or vendor pickup.
A credit memo is automatically generated for the amount based on the last price paid for the returned items. DAC Express and DAC Connect are designed to work seamlessly with Returns Management to initiate credit requests.
