Acumatica WMS – Key Features

Paperless, Directed Picking

Go green and streamline warehouse operations with prioritized picking queues using paperless, directed picking from mobile devices or ruggedized mobile scanners.

Wave or Batch Picking

Generate wave or batch pick lists based on the best path for each available picker.

Barcoded Pick Lists

Use barcodes to speed up the picking process. Barcodes on pick lists prevent picking items not included in the order.

Packing Definition

Provide adequate package  size and packing material to ensure safe transport.

Packing Automation

Packing processes leverage barcodes for accurate item, lot, and serial number data capture. Integrate with digital scales and printers to automatically weigh and print labels and packing slips.

Shipment Creation

Create and prepare shipments inside Acumatica with connections to marketplace apps for small parcel, less-than-truckload (LTL), and other shipping carrier systems for shipment costs, scheduling, and tracking. Acumatica natively supports small parcel shippers including UPS, USPS, FedEx, and international carriers.

Shipping Labels and Documentation

Automate shipping label generation and required shipping documents such as packing slips required for each shipment.

Customer Notifications

Notify customers when shipments are processed with links to track shipping status via carrier systems. Use business events to alert customers when backordered items are received and ready for shipment.

Stock Turnover

Manage warehouse and retail operations with insights into inventory turnover. Use the inventory turnover ratio inquiry to spot obsolete or slow-moving stock, adjust stock levels for fast-moving items to avoid stock-outs and rush orders, optimize warehouse stock locations, improve replenishment strategies, and benchmark turnover against industry peers.

Physical Inventory

Leverage mobile apps for physical inventory cycle counts and other activities to ensure inventory accuracy.

Carts and Totes

Configure carts for picking and put-away with totes for paperless wave and single shipment picking. Add totes on-the-fly based on quantities required on the pick list.

Bidirectional Picking

Improve warehouse management activities with bidirectional picking and aggregated quantities for pick lines.

Role-Based Dashboards

Stay on top of your business with role-based dashboards for Purchasing Managers, Shipping Clerks, and Receiving Clerks. Dashboards provide real-time, configurable insights with actionable drilldowns for sales orders, activities, employee productivity, shipments and receipts, on-time shipping ratio, order fill rates, late orders, profitability, return rate, suggested purchase orders, and other key performance indicators.

Side Panels

Distribution side panels provide users with direct access to vendors, items, and order details for sales orders, shipments, purchase orders, receipts, stock and non-stock item maintenance, kit assembly, and template item maintenance.

Optional User-Defined Labels

Create custom labels with the connected Asgard Label application. Create traditional linear or two-dimensional data matrix labels in multiple sizes and orientations containing part numbers, lot and serial details, expiration dates, and more.

Acumatica WMS – FAQ

What is warehouse management?

Warehouse management is the managing of the daily procedures and transactions required to run a warehouse. Basic warehouse operations include organizing warehouse space, managing inventory, fulfilling orders, executing returns, scheduling labor, and inspecting equipment. On a more complex level, warehouse management involves improving, streamlining, and integrating each process in order to become an efficient and profitable business.

What is a warehouse management system (WMS)?

A warehouse management system (WMS) is a software solution that supports the essential processes—both simple and complex—of managing a warehouse. These warehousing processes include receiving, storing, and monitoring inventory; retrieving inventory through the pick-and-pack process; shipping orders; reporting on shipment accuracy (e.g., correct shipments, over-shipments, under-shipment, and shipping incorrect items); and communicating with suppliers and transportation vendors who are responsible for providing materials and shipping orders.
With a WMS, these core processes are automated and fully managed using role-based dashboards. When purchased as part of a cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution, a WMS takes warehouse management to the next level by storing and synchronizing data from the WMS and other ERP modules—such as accounting, customer resource management, and human resources—in a centralized database.
Accessing this real-time, accurate, and company-wide data in a single cloud-based system fuels the ability to complete forecasting, analysis, compliance, and planning tasks, to optimize warehouse performance, and to drive improvements.

What are the benefits of a WMS?

The end goal of every warehouse operation is to provide customers with a seamless shopping experience and to deliver their orders as promised and on time. Meeting this crucial goal is possible with a modern WMS, which also supplies the following business-enhancing and customer-satisfying benefits:

  • Automated Inventory: Manage inventory levels—including in-stock/out-of-stock items, turnovers, receipts, and shipments—in single or multiple warehouses without manual processes or paper-based spreadsheets and have updated inventory data available with a click of a button.
  • Streamlined Fulfillment: With automated workflows, barcode scanning with a mobile scanner, and preprinted smart scan sheets (or paperless directed picking) for wave or batch picking, managers and warehouse clerks have the tools they need to perform their warehousing duties effectively and efficiently.
  • Reduced Errors: Audible and visual indicators on the scanner alert workers when incorrect scans occur and serial lot and serial number tracking ensure that mistakes in picking and shipping are eliminated, thus reducing picking errors and increasing productivity.
  • Role-Based Dashboards: Receive real-time, configurable insights into key performance indicators, such as employee productivity, on-time shipping ratio, order fill rates, late orders, return rates, and more.

Best of all, a cloud-based WMS and ERP solution offers users modern mobility, allowing them to connect to their critical data and monitor their complex warehousing operations at any time of the day or night using a web-enabled device of their choice.

“Acumatica handles inventory so much better than our old system. This is a big-time savings for us to see live inventory availability across our different locations and not have to resort to various spreadsheet or wander through our yards of products like we did before.” – Steve Slaughter, President/CEO, Frederick Block, Brick & Stone
