We are pleased to be working with a new customer deploying our mobile scanning solution for the SAP supply chain, PreBilt™, into a manufacturing and distribution location in Wales.
The company, an international IT solutions specialist, which operates SAP Warehouse Management (WM), initially approached us to support a radio frequency identification (RFID) project for the site. However, the customer quickly discovered that PreBilt could provide full coverage of the required warehouse processes, providing a direct connection to SAP, replacing manual processes and removing the need for a costly RFID implementation.
PreBilt’s hardware-agnostic nature made it ideal for this customer, as the team had not yet sourced the necessary ruggedised mobile devices, tablets or personalised digital assistants (PDAs) for the project. As PreBilt could deliver the necessary pick and pack, goods receipt and stock management functions on any device, this prevented any sourcing restrictions and potential added costs.
With the customer previously reliant on paper-based manual processes, PreBilt has been configured to include a number of key features to digitise onsite activity. The SAP barcode scanning solution will manage core warehouse processes including goods receipt, referencing purchase orders (POs) and via stock transport orders (STOs). Likewise, stock control actions including putaway, outbound picking, bin to bin transfers and storage movements can all be carried out using PreBilt.
Perhaps the most impactful functionality for this project is its barcode scanning and image capture features. Users can add pictures, signatures and comments to damage reports and delivery notes for improved traceability and visibility. Likewise, PreBilt’s barcode scanning capabilities will let operators instantly identify labelled stock, promoting greater efficiency.
Commenting on this new project, our product sales manager, Mike Partington, said: “We are delighted to be helping this new customer to fully digitise processes with PreBilt for WM. The ability to effectively manage stock movements, review locations and scan barcodes will greatly improve visibility and efficiency at this site.”
PreBilt is our rapid-deployment mobile solution that enables supply chain processes to be executed on a mobile device. Deployed in days, the intuitive user interface makes tasks quicker and easier to execute, while the direct connection to SAP ensures all data is updated in real time for end-to-end supply chain visibility.
