Warehouse Management for Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP

"By replacing our old WMS system with ASC's ASCTrac WMS and GP interface, we increased our receiving capacity by 80%, increased our inventory accuracy to 99.99%, increased our serial number accuracy to 100%, and reduced the 65-70 minute GP posting time to about 6 seconds. Thank you ASC!"

Larry V. - ASCTrac® customer

The ASCTrac® WMS system (warehouse management system) can complement your Microsoft® Dynamics® GP accounting system investment with a very powerful and very extensive warehouse management and manufacturing execution solution.

ASC has developed a certified interface for the Microsoft Dynamics GP accounting system that provides a seamless path to the ASCTrac® WMS system. Therefore, the accounting users can work with their familiar GP screens in the accounting department, and the warehouse users can work with the same data at the point of activity in the ASCTrac® WMS warehouse system using mobile handheld devices.

ASCTrac® WMS is not a just data capture system, nor just an inventory management system, but a world-class warehouse management system designed for the demanding requirements of today's dynamic supply chains. With this advanced WMS solution in place, warehouse transactions never need to be entered manually, transactions are "real time" to the entire enterprise, and transactions have the accuracy that can only be achieved using auto-ID technologies. Now, your accounting department can work in harmony with your warehouse - less effort, better accuracy.

Warehouse Management System:

Since ASCTrac ® WMS is a world-class warehouse management system, all warehouse workflow is directed by the ASCTrac® WMS warehouse system using mobile devices and verified at the point of activity in the warehouse. That means that instant verification occurs for all inventory transactions such as receipts, picks, moves, physical counts, cycle counts, repacks, scraps, quality control holds and releases, parcel shipping, trailer shipping, while the worker has the materials in hand. In case of an error, it is corrected at the point of activity by the worker (for example, a worker accidentally picking or receiving the wrong item, etc.)

Deploying the ASCTrac® WMS warehouse management system to empower your supply chain operations simply makes good management sense. You can better manage your operations for labor resources, location utilization, rapid picks and replenishment, zone control, ABC logic, throughput capacities, planning, detailed lot tracking, ASN/EDI support, etc.

Manufacturing Execution:

In addition to the warehouse functions, the ASCTrac ® WMS system has a very extensive manufacturing execution system. The ASC manufacturing execution system supports both process and discreet manufacturing types. It is designed to provide detailed tracking for the exact components consumed, the quantity, lot information, and the serial number information to a very detailed and granular level. Designed for the food and pharmaceutical industries, these modules are very focused on lot traceability and lean accounting methods for process manufacturers.

The main manufacturing modules are: Work Orders, Labor Tracking, Shop Floor tracking, and various interfaces to PLC's, automatic labeling systems, metering systems interfaces, component planning and picking, replenishing production lines, etc.

ASC Interface Touch Points:

Our interface was constructed to work directly with the following touch points:

• Purchase Orders (receiving - validated expected receipts, containers processing for 'on-the-water')
• Warehouse Inventory management (cycle counts, scraps, reason codes, QC availability, etc.)
• Customer Orders (picking - high velocity planning, outbound routing and logistics)
• Other connections: (returns (RMA's), landed costing, manufacturing costing, enterprise and multi-company, real-time connection to GP for order entry users, postings, lean accounting postings, etc.)

The ASCTrac® interface to Microsoft Dynamics GP® interface eliminates the manual Microsoft Dynamics GP keyboard data entries required for all of the line items to Confirm Ship an order or Purchase Order receipts. When you have a fast-moving warehouse, manual entries can become a real bottleneck - and manual keystroke entries can be mistyped. With ASCTrac® automation, the tasks become seamless, faster, and much more accurate.

Financially speaking, 100% inventory accuracy is especially important so that an accurate inventory accounting value is presented.

The ASCTrac ® interface to Microsoft Dynamics GP Interface is fast, very extensive, and very flexible with many user configurations. One of our customers installed our WMS system with our Dynamics GP interface, and reduced the 65-70 minute Dynamics GP postings to about 6 seconds using ASC's technology. ASC has years of experience in interfaces to ERP systems, and we take pride in partnering with Microsoft Dynamics GP to provide this quality automated WMS interface.

• Utilize wireless real-time devices at the point of activity in the warehouse (to insure immediate inventory movements and validate data on the spot; eliminates batch-mode reconciliations)
• Employ auto-ID technology for accuracy and faster performance with reduced labor costs
• If the GP accounting system goes down for some reason, i.e., backup procedures, the ASCTrac® WMS system is still running the warehouse. ASCTrac® is designed for full 24/7/365 without any shutdowns. It will pick back up where it left off with the data synchronization once the accounting system is back up and running
• Optionally, implement various manufacturing tracking solutions with special interfaces
• Tested, proven, and uses a rapid deployment methodology
