The Electronic Warehouse Manager (EWM) is our latest mobile application that will automate your warehouse. The EWM system, running on Android tablets, it allows you to very cost effectively automate your warehouse processes. Data entered into the tablet is immediately saved on your entrée server. This means if the tablet stops working (ex: dead battery), no data will ever be lost.

EWM Features:

1.EWM tablets connect directly to the your local entrée server via WIFI. Tablets are completely portable and at the end of the work day they should be locked in a safe.

2.Invoices and Purchase Orders are created as normal from your desktop entrée software.    

3.Pick Lists are no longer printed because the tablet is the "electronic" document.

4.Loading Sheets will no longer be printed because the tablet acts as an "electronic" version of document, always updated with the latest revisions including customer add-ons.

5.The employee in the warehouse will turn on the tablet, log in, select the route, then be able to view a Pick List for that route, along with all the Loading Sheets.

6.The Loading Sheet on the tablet will have the same layout as the printed Loading Sheet your staff is used to seeing.

7.Quantities and weights can easily be entered in the warehouse, either by barcode scanning or touch entry via a numeric display on the screen, eliminating the need for office staff to key them in and print labels.

8.The warehouse operator will be able to sort and view the line items on the order by temperature zone, class, warehouse location, case items, non-case items, catchweights, etc.

9.They will also be able to view a complete "revision" history of the order, showing each revision and the items that were added / deleted from the order, etc.

10.Picking Labels can immediately print per line item as the quantity and/or weights are entered or printed in total at the end of the picking process.

11.The labels will print on a portable, WIFI based, high speed thermal label printer saving time because the labels can be  immediately affixed to products. You will no longer have 75 labels for an order and have to figure out what box has what label.

12.The warehouse staff will no longer have to wait for the office staff to enter the weights or quantities and print their labels.

13.The office staff will no longer be required to key in catchweights or quantity shipped, freeing up valuable employee office overhead costs.

14.Substitution of items, if enabled for a user or via a supervisor override, is allowed.

15.The completed invoice is printed from the tablet.

16.Employee productivity and a complete history of each item picked/scanned/weighed is tracked by EWM."Warehouse Manager Dashboard" screen is provided so that you can view what orders your employees are currently picking.  

 

17.The blue User column link in the Warehouse Manager Dashboard opens the “User Detail“ screen which contains a complete history of the User’s warehouse activity. You will always know who picked an invoice down to the detail of individual line items, substitutions and catchweights.

18.Even if you don't track your inventory using lot numbers when scanning item labels, the manufacturers item lot number is saved in case there is a product recall.

19.Tablets have a Bluetooth interface so they can easily communicate with other devices, such as Bluetooth enabled barcode scanners and scales. If your business does a lot of product weighing for orders, saving the time it takes to input the weights is another area where you can make your processes more cost efficient.

20.For security reasons no business data is ever stored on the tablet, it is immediately saved on your entrée server. So if a tablet is lost or stolen no company information can fall into the wrong hands.

21.Getting started with EWM barcode scanning is not a problem with over 50 of the commonly used bar code symbologies supported by the application.

22.The Barcode Definition Manager allows you to define, edit and diagnose problems with manufacturer's bar code labels as you scan them into EWM.
