Warehouse Service improved the operation of the warehouse complex with Odyssey WMS

About the client

Warehouse service company specializes in providing logistics services for the processing and responsible storage of various categories of goods. The total storage area is 12,000 sq. The Warehouse Service complex is equipped with six-tier front racks, the number of storage cells is 16,500 units.

A logistics operator implemented a warehouse complex automation project using the Odyssey WMS solution in less than 1.5 months . Thanks to the new system, Sklad Servis has built a transparent and convenient scheme for working with customer orders.

Situation and choice of solution

to receive prompt and reliable information about the status and location of each unit of goods in the context of each client, as well as to ensure the fastest possible acceptance, picking and shipment of orders. However, the self-written solution, which has been used by the Warehouse Service company so far, did not provide sufficient transparency and accuracy in accounting for warehouse processes. As a result, the logistics operator recognized the need to switch to a full-fledged specialized warehouse complex management system and for this purpose chose the solution of the international consulting company Odyssey.

"We were pleasantly surprised by the range of capabilities of the Odyssey WMS warehouse management system , as well as those how deeply the specialists of the partner company understand the specifics and needs of our business. In addition to the wide functionality and extensive expertise of the integrator's project team in the field of warehouse automation, numerous recommendations from retail and distribution companies testified in favor of the Odyssey solution. We were able to see firsthand the correctness of our choice by visiting several warehouses at once, which have been successfully operating on Odyssey WMS for a long time."

Project specifics and main results

Each of Sklad Servis’ numerous clients has a wide range of acceptance requirements, processing and shipping products. In this regard, the system had to simultaneously take into account the realities of the logistics company's business and be easily configured in accordance with new tasks. The Odyssey WMS solution, developed on the Microsoft Dynamics AX platform, covered all areas of the warehouse complex and provided for minimal customization for the specifics of the Warehouse Service customers. In addition, in the future, the flexible architecture of the solution will allow the customer to independently refine the system in case of making significant changes to business processes. months after the start of the project. Thanks to the system, the management of the Warehouse Service company supported each area of ??warehouse management, providing the necessary speed for the processes of acceptance, processing, movement, storage and shipment of goods.

For example, one of the company's clients is a major supplier of domestic and foreign confectionery products. The possibilities of the solution make it possible to accept and store batches of goods in homogeneous pallets, taking into account the series and expiration dates of the products. At the same time, thanks to Odyssey WMS, at the acceptance stage, warehouse employees can place goods in the warehouse in different sections, operating on the height of the pallet, the amount of goods in the layer and other characteristics of the received lot.

The project team has developed an additional method of goods acceptance in the system – by cargo units. To identify product ranges, barcodes of boxes are used, which are not opened upon receipt at the warehouse, but are accepted and stored in the customer's cells as is. Selection and picking of orders are also carried out according to the barcodes of the boxes. It should be noted that before the warehouse employee received an acceptance task only when scanning a barcode specified in a pre-filled application. Now, in order to receive a task, it is enough to scan the barcode of the box, and the data collection terminal will give the warehouse employee the number of the receipt request.

information about the product barcode, only the last 7 digits of the code were indicated. Setting up the Odyssey WMS solution completely removed this problem.

In addition, during the project, the Odyssey team changed the structure of the barcode of the storage cells. Prior to the introduction of the automated system, warehouse employees had to scan the full barcode of the cell, including the numbers of the aisle, the floor of the rack, and the number of the cell itself. Now for any client, you can print a barcode of a cell containing the number of the rack and storage floor. Through the data collection terminal, the system itself, by the barcode number, determines the number of a specific cell for which it is necessary to issue a task, for example, for picking. This made it possible to simplify the work of the operator's warehouse staff and reduce the number of human errors in the process of placing and selecting products in the context of each customer.

" In the near future, Sklad Servis plans to develop a new system in accordance with the additional wishes of customers. For example, in the course of implementation, one of the operator's customers needed to process goods according to the cross-docking principle with simultaneous sorting of incoming cargo according to shipping directions, bypassing storage operations. Odyssey WMS tools will help the company complete this task in full and in the shortest possible time."
