Bastian Solutions Offers Innovative Warehouse Software Solutions

Oct. 1, 2015 - PRLog -- Damir Kantardzic, president of Bastian Software Solutions Division, discussed the advantages of all-in-one warehouse software solution in the company blog. Kantardzic noted after consulting with the customer, we suggested an all-in-one warehouse software solution that would include the hardware, a warehouse control system and a warehouse management system. This strategy offered several advantages:

·        Support was provided from a single source.

·        Interfaces between different software packages were not necessary, thus eliminating communication breakdowns, slowdowns and difficulties of passing business logic and decisions from one package to another.

·        Integration of hardware and software was much simpler since the controls and software were completed by one team.

·        An integrated WCS and WMS solution meant no complex synchronization of multiple systems, reducing the potential for hardware failures.

·        Access to hardware status within the WMS allowed for near real-time decision-making during planning and waving of the work.

·        The integrated system offered improved and accurate productivity analysis and reporting.

·        Increased expansion opportunities as the software system provided the ability to switch out or add new hardware components to the system.

In the past, warehouse and distribution products and services fell into two camps—material handling equipment and warehouse software. By understanding market trends and customer needs, companies soon found it advantageous to offer both hardware and software. This holistic approach gave those vendors an innovative and unique selling proposition: the ability to implement end-to-end warehouse systems.
