3. November 2020myfactory International GmbH digitizes warehouse management and supports small and medium-sized enterprises in digitizing their business processes. From now on, important data can be accessed quickly and reliably from anywhere.
(Munich) – Especially in trade and production, time is money. For this reason, efficient processes for material and goods flow are essential – from suppliers to customers. Mobile data collection, or MDE, can help here and, for example, ensure optimized workflows and a higher degree of digitization in the company. This article shows how it works and what advantages mobile warehouse logistics have.
An example of this is the ERP module for mobile warehouse booking. It allows all warehouse and logistics processes to be mapped. Whether incoming goods, picking, or inventory – numerous processes can be controlled via mobile devices. Additionally, a portable barcode scanner can be connected via Bluetooth. This helps companies avoid errors from manual data entry and ensures maximum flexibility. The data is stored in the cloud ERP and is accessible to all employees at any time and in real-time.
The solution from Myfactory is completely web-based and requires no installation. To make it easier for users, the cloud ERP pioneer offers optimized access options for different devices – at no additional cost. It does not matter whether access is made via notebooks, tablets, or smartphones. For example, sales receipts can also be generated via the tablet. In developing the tablet interface, Myfactory placed particular emphasis on large buttons and short operating paths.
Timo Bärenklau, Head of Sales at Myfactory International
“Especially in logistics, mobile data collection is a central building block for the digitization of small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition to improved business processes, companies also provide significant added value for their customers: The field service, for example, can access all information from the warehouse directly on their tablet during customer consultations and reliably provide information about stock levels or delivery times. This strengthens customer loyalty and contributes to loyalty.”
Offline Becomes Online: Mobile Data Collection in the Warehouse
Classic processes that occur in the warehouse and are supported by Myfactory Cloud ERP include warehouse bookings such as withdrawals and receipts. But preparation processes also frequently occur in warehouse management. In practice, the creation of delivery notes is initiated from the warehouse so that processes can run quickly and easily.
Advantages of Mobile Warehouse Bookings in the Cloud
- Highest Flexibility: By using mobile devices, companies make their warehouse work significantly more effective and with a lower error rate. Additionally, employees are already familiar with tablets and similar devices from personal use, which increases acceptance and facilitates onboarding.
- Efficient Warehouse Management: Cloud solutions help increase delivery capability, reduce capital commitment through lower inventory levels and lead times, and make warehouse logistics more time- and cost-efficient.
- Evaluate Multiple Warehouses: With one click, it can be determined what value the inventory has. Additionally, the solution offers reliable forecasting methods that facilitate planning and minimize safety stocks. If an inventory falls below a set threshold, the user receives a notification.
- Document Changed Inventory Levels: All inventory levels are continuously updated. The quantities and location changes can be easily monitored and precisely controlled – saving employees a lot of time.
- Cross-Site Inventory Management: Distributed stocks can be reliably managed. This creates transparency, which in turn ensures timely deliveries and achieves sustainable cost advantages.
- Real-Time Inventory Levels: Myfactory’s warehouse logistics constantly checks inventory levels and allows operational stocks to be assessed at any time through inventories. This enables informed business decisions.
