==============

Time is going forward, and so is also the warehouse management solution.  We are currently 6 team members that are constantly extending the solution.
In many different industries the role of warehousing parts and items and the logistics around this process are a core business process. This means that the requirements can be very specific in order to keep the business lean and low cost. In order to support companies that depend heavily on warehouse management and distribution processes, To-Increase has developed and delivered an Industry Solution for Microsoft Dynamics AX2009.  The vision for this relatively new Industry Solution is to provide modern functionality to serve as a best of breed solution.

To-Increase Warehouse Management and Distribution builds on robust Microsoft Dynamics® AX functionality to automate the materials handling process for retailers, manufacturers, Distributors, and third-party logistics providers. By integrating advanced radio-frequency (RF) and bar-coding technologies with core warehouse automation, Warehouse Management and Distribution streamlines order management, receiving, stocking, replenishment, picking, and shipping. Your organization can move forward to enhance customer satisfaction with faster turnaround times and precise order fulfillment.

 
Warehouse Management and Distribution  solution will further verticalize into five distinct verticals in order to provide even better coverage of business requirements.

* Apparel & Footware

* Industrial & Wholesale

* Consumer Goods

* Retail

* Food & Beverage

 

At the present moment the WMS and Distribution solution already offers rich functionality in order to automate warehouse processes using integration to wireless devices and forklift mounted terminals.  The main focus of the solution is warehouse automation by means of an integration framework for barcode and PDA devices and conveyor belts and rich functionality for the typical processes in this industry.

 

The direction we are now going is is to further extend the solution with the following features :

* External logistics/external Cross docking, Transport planning and Freight rate shopping

* Batch and Zone picking enhancements

* 3pl and bounded warehouse

* .Net based handheld devices (Not ot dynamics mobile framework, but Ajax)

* Volumetric case/carton picking

* Voice pick and Pick carrousels

* Bom-picking, VAS, Kitting and Pack-to-order
