The Cyrane Order Management System has many modules and setup options, and alongside excellent service, has helped us support clients since 2003 when the system was first launched. The new module attracting the maximum amount of interest is the new WMS module, which has a wide variety of options, making it a “must-have” for our customers operating in businesses as diverse as the food sector, multi-channel e-commerce companies and retailers with multiple warehouse and retail outlets.
The additional demands of batch tracking or serial number tracking and best-before dates add considerable complexity to the warehouse management challenge, and a full WMS system can provide a solution that not only enhances efficiency but also gives considerable gains in profitability. For the food sector, reporting systems and warehouse management, ensuring that products are sold before the best-before dates can significantly improve profitability, preventing loss of margin as the product needs to be discounted or disposed of.
The Cyrane WMS system can be set up to customise these functions to individual requirements. Batch entry scanning and best-before-date entry as part of the goods in the process ensure complete visibility of the age of the stock, and warehouse mapping makes picking by date a simple operation. Whilst the batch tracking on packing makes any product recall quick and easy, even if the events causing a recall are understandably undesirable
Picking queues and the resources allocated to them can be managed in real-time, with the control systems giving an instant view of activity, progress, and problems.
Other systems within the Cyrane system also help the customers prevent wasteful duplication of efforts by businesses with its comprehensive PMS (product management system) with not only the “normal” data of product codes, descriptions and names but also the ability to manage the image database and a configurable attributes database allowing management of allergens and nutritional data product by product or for technical product performance data if applicable which can be integrated into product feeds to a variety of sales channels eliminating duplicated data management across multiple channels.
The ability to set up and customise such systems is vital to the successful implementation of WMS systems and just as other industries have their individual requirements. Batch number tracking, best before dates, and serial number tracking can all be set up to provide rapid and effective warehouse, pick, pack and despatch processes that enhance profitability not only with the added warehouse efficiency but also to provide control throughout the entire process.
