Odyssey Consulting Group has released a cloud solution for warehouse management.
Odyssey Consulting Group has released a cloud solution for warehouse management. The product is offered in SaaS format and is ideal for small and medium-sized warehouses. The evolution of the IT industry has led to a gradual transition from the classic model of on-premises-installations to the use of cloud technology. This means a shift of focus from the technical area to the business area and the formation of competitive advantages. The new cloud product of Odyssey Consulting Group will help to get all the benefits of automated warehouse without incurring any capital costs.
Odyssey Cloud WMS is a full-featured warehouse management system, which allows to automate all basic business processes: receiving and placing the goods, the movement of goods in the warehouse, processing and picking orders by priority, document management, as well as controlling the employees. The use of clouds is based on the model of regularly recurring expenses, such as telephone or Internet charges. These costs relate to operating costs and are more attractive because they can be reduced at will, without being tied to purchased servers and software, without incurring operating and other costs. Owning your own WMS in small and medium-sized warehouses compared to a SaaS solution is three times higher in a two-year perspective, and almost twice as much if you set a planning horizon of five years.
Odyssey's cloud-based WMS solution is designed to help small growth companies meet the challenges of the times and simplify the way they do business by turning IT into a mechanism to support growth and gain a competitive edge. Our solution will allow to get benefits without worrying about buying servers, storage, creating backups, upgrades and more
The SaaS model provides the following advantages of Odyssey Cloud WMS:
-
quick startup of the WMS system;
-
no capital costs associated with the initial purchase of the system;
-
predictable payments and ability to terminate the system without loss of investment;
-
seasonal accounting - easy to expand or reduce the number of system users;
-
reduced personnel and infrastructure requirements.
Odyssey Consulting Group's cloud-based warehouse management system is based on Microsoft Dynamics 365, which integrates ERP, business intelligence, infrastructure, computing and database services. The modular implementation allows us to choose functionality relevant to the current state of the business, and using the Microsoft Azure platform provides unlimited scalability and growth opportunities.
In developing the solution, we thought about how to help business managers from the "black box" called a warehouse to create a transparent and manageable unit, while not forcing them to delve into the intricacies of IT technology. The answer turned out to be simple - the cloud
In addition to the unit warehouse management, a new cloud product Odyssey Consulting Group includes Connectivity Studio, which provides Cloud WMS integration with external systems, RapidValue –an application for business process management, templates of standard processes, an assistant for their setup and execution, as well as AX Anywhere, allowing to work with cloud WMS system via a browser on any device, including tablets, smart phones and mobile data collection terminals. Based on the current needs, the company can choose from six service packages, depending on the support required, customization of specialized parameters, scope of integration with external systems, etc. Odyssey Cloud WMS service activation and start-up time does not exceed one calendar month.
