Real time information is the key to the success of any profitable business. A smart software package has been developed, to utilize Distribution Process Control (DPC-Link) to manage all activities of the distribution sequence. In much the same way that a manufacturing process is controlled, each element of the distribution process is evaluated using real time information, which allows pre-defined logic to be applied establishing the sequence and timing of the next activity. The control process is integrated with the work being performed, therefore yielding increased productivity and quality. DPC handles the following major functional areas: Automatic Shipping Notification (ASN), receiving, location management, product putaway, order management, picking, inventory control, and shipping. A movable unit concept is used to track inventory to individual containers or pallets to system defined locations.
