Warehouse Management

"If you can use every square meter of your warehouses the right way, you can get the highest return on the same resource. Columbus IT Warehouse Management has the powerful tools you need to organize people, products, and workflow.”

Disorganized warehouses leads to problems everywhere in your organization. Chaotic, poorly-managed warehousing leads to delays in shipping, errors in inventory tracking, poor resource utilization, overstock or unmet, demand, and eventually, dissatisfied workers, customers, and a lower bottom line.

Your warehouse operations are a complex set of processes which can be thrown off by one misstep. The best way to maximize the return on storage, inventory, and shipping is with a sophisticated but easy-to-use warehouse management solution - based on Microsoft Dynamics AX or NAV, implemented by Columbus IT.

Columbus IT - Your Warehouse Management Partner

Columbus IT has employees and implementation specialists who come from the manufacturing and logistics fields. They know the special requirements you have to make your warehouses run smoothly, and have the technology expertise to make your warehouse management solution happen.

No matter how small or large an organization you are, Columbus IT has warehouse management solutions that fit. We use Microsoft Dynamics AX or Dynamics NAV, depending on your requirements. And we have a vast library of custom modules we've written - so your special needs are taken care of, instead of a 'cookie-cutter' solution. Whether you're using RFID, barcode scanners, or mobile computers, we can integrate them into a reporting and management solution that works.

Improved handling of received items means workers can easily identify, label, position and reposition goods that are received. All activities are recorded in journals for later lookup or audit trails. Stamp items with serial or batch numbers for improved control.

Ensure optimal storage through prioritizing storage areas by temperature, rate of turnover, and more. The Warehouse Management System automatically finds the optimal storage location for new items.

Locate items faster and pick and pack goods quicker with detailed inventory records. Packing is optimized through automatic calculation of inventory dimensions, bills of materials, and the best picking routes based on your warehouse configuration.

Barcode Scanners

Columbus IT provides you with a complete barcode scanner solution, including advice on warehouse processes, integration and ERP programming for Microsoft Business Solutions products, application or client to handheld terminals, and the hardware (hand terminals and access points). Columbus IT is a one-stop shop for your barcode warehouse management needs. Other suppliers may be able to deliver such a solution but it typically involves 3 parties: the supplier themselves, the terminal supplier, and a supplier of terminal software. Columbus IT has the knowledge and expertise to carry out your barcode scanner project from analysis to delivery and support. Many Columbus tools and products for barcode data collection are designed to reduce the need for expensive third-party specialists.

Whether you've got one warehouse or one hundred across the world, Columbus IT will make them run faster, more efficiently, and more profitably. Warehousing isn't just storing and moving goods - it's the lifeblood of your manufacturing organization.
