Bar Coding, Data Capture and Warehouse Management for Microsoft Dynamics GP: Introduction to Alba3

March 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Selecting the right Warehouse Management System (WMS) to extend Dynamics GP Distribution functionality requires a clear understanding of operational objectives.  Warehouse Management Systems offer a variety of solutions ranging from active management of the physical distribution process to a focus on integration of operations with the ERP system and data capture.
   
There are several standalone WMS applications available in the market today that have rich functionality.  However, research has shown that on average only twenty percent of the features included in most warehouse management systems are implemented in smaller companies. Additionally, very few systems are designed to be fully integrated into Dynamics GP.  Many companies with small to midsize distribution operations are better served with less complex WMS systems which are directly integrated to the company ERP system.

Alba360 WMS is a Warehouse Management system designed for organizations using Dynamics GP looking for a straightforward solution.  It allows users to control the movement and storage of inventory items in the warehouse, and to process receiving, put-away, stock count, transfer, picking and shipping operations.  Direct integration with Dynamics GP allows all warehouse transactions to be visible in real time within the Dynamics GP environment.
