For years, distributors have sought new ways to bring unprecedented levels of accuracy and integrity to their warehouses. They needed a solution that would improve customer service and operating efficiencies, while automating the manual, paper-intensive warehouse activities.

Developed for Activant Prophet 21®, the Wireless Warehouse Management Solution (WWMS) is that solution. A fully integrated Warehouse Management Solution, WWMS uses wireless hand-held devices to facilitate and perform warehousing functions like receiving, picking, put-away, cycle counting, inventory operations and adjustments in real-time with greater security.

In addition, since the solution includes a graphic user interface, it is more user friendly than most character-based RF offerings.

WWMS increases the accuracy, control, precision and monitoring capability for each order processed and reduces the time and costs associated with traditional warehouse management by eliminating the need to add a separate database, run multiple updates, synchronize with another system, or handle stacks of paper. Additionally, WWMS improves inventory accuracy by automatically monitoring, updating and reporting all inventory actions in Prophet 21.

Because the WWMS is fully integrated with Prophet 21, you can implement one technology solution for all of your business needs.
