Operating Smoothly in the Warehouse

Warehouse organization is the key to operating efficiently. A disorganized warehouse can reduce usable space and decrease productivity. If these inefficiencies are not carefully monitored as your business grows, they will compound, causing your operating costs to grow faster than they otherwise should.

Forward Thinking Systems makes organization easy. With built in binning, you can set up your warehouse in an order that will speed picking. Storing items in multiple bins allows primary picking and secondary storage locations. Since the entire system is integrated, picking tickets always print in reverse bin order allowing your pickers to work faster. You can even further optimize your warehouse performance by using our suite of handheld applications.

Organization depends on planning. Keeping track of deliveries from vendors can be challenging. With Forward Thinking Systems you can easily organize your receiving appointments. Use our flexible receiving scheduler to set up and monitor your deliveries. The receiving worksheets display expected items and quantities as well as previous receipt information to help improve accuracy. Vendor backorders are also easily accounted for during receiving, by letting you know about other open purchase orders containing a particular item. This helps avoid receiving incorrect POs.

Bills of Lading are stored digitally for future reference by warehouse managers, accounts payable, and purchasing. Additionally, you can look back at past receiving with comprehensive historical reporting.

Together with our Route Management offering, Forward Thinking Systems provides you with a complete operations package that will address your every need.
