NewVision® Warehouse Management includes a comprehensive suite of functions that work together to improve the overall efficiency of your warehouse operations.

The Warehouse Management System provides a structure with which to organize your warehouse in logical zones and bins within those zones. Each zone can support an unlimited number of bins. The setup and characteristics of one warehouse may vary from another warehouse within the same company. This allows for variation in customs and business processes from one warehouse to another.

All the activity that occurs within the warehouse including receiving, put-away, picking, shipping, moving and transferring are included within the Warehouse Activity Sector and completely automates these activities.

More than 400 distribution clients count on IST software solutions to run their businesses and support their expanding distribution needs.

Although paper may still be used, the Warehouse Management System can eliminate the flow of paper from the back-office to the warehouse. As the required activities (picking, receiving, etc.) are released they are available to the Warehouse Activity Sector and can be controlled by the warehouse staff. The activities themselves can be accomplished through reports printed in the warehouse or by using RF or wireless hand-held data terminals. As the activities proceed through the various stages, the status is available to the sales and purchasing personnel who need to be able to see what stage in the warehouse handling process a particular order has reached.

Selection criteria by activity are very flexible. For example, picks can be selected by customer, item, zone and bin, shipping method, or due date. The system automates the cross-docking process by identifying received items which can be moved to the shipping area.

Cycle counting can be accomplished on a defined periodic basis or by perpetual cycle counting. Perpetual cycle counting allows for ongoing cycle counting without having to freeze the bins and allows the count to occur during other warehouse activities such as picking and put-away.
