New WMS for Forest Freight
After months of discussions and negotiations Forest Freight has selected Clandestine Software’s ‘LocateIT’ for its new warehouse management system (WMS). The system should be operational at the end of quarter one 2008 and will initially be used for the ERT’s, container loading and storage operations.
The system will operate from both the Rainham and South Kirkby warehouses, with Rainham operating the system via RF hand held processes (radio data terminals) linked to bar coded labels giving real time data.
The system delivers huge functionality and is expected to enable improvements in both the speed we can operate as well as warehouse accuracy. Part of the new system includes a pick/pack module to enhance the operational systems in our logistics and warehouse activities to both existing and new customers.
Leading edge 21st century technology means that Forest Freight can better function as an integrated part of our customers' businesses. Web based capabilities means that customers will also be able to access information, including stock availability.
LocateIT will interface with MANDATA (the current transport scheduling system) and the in-house accounts package.
