Using Radio Frequency (RF) terminals, the Locator Expert receiving process compares the physical delivery with the expected, reporting upon any discrepancies.
Receipt details are validated against each order, with Locator Expert recording all product and pallet data such as Batch Codes, Expiry Date, Stock Status, etc.
Locator Expert also allows for stock to be received against inbound Advance Shipping Notices (ASN’s), whereby the supplier has pre-advised the warehouse of what stock was despatched to the warehouse on which pallet.
Locator Expert determines the destination location for the stock, based upon the ‘Rules’ that were defined within the Info Store module. Similarly, the system can direct that samples be taken for quality assurance checks, in accordance with your business practices.
Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) are a fundamental management tool within any business and Locator Expert greatly assists you with these by recording and reporting upon Supplier Performance information such as the timeliness of receipts, the completeness of deliveries and the quality of received stock. |
