Mobile ERP

Businesses are turning to mobile devices to improve business processes within the warehouse. Mobile devices such as Surface RT, Handheld Barcode Scanners, ToughPads, and Android devices offer seemingly limitless potential for organizations to improve efficiency and performance. Just as new ERP applications are released daily to make our lives easier, so too are applications emerging which can benefit both small and large corporations.
Mobile Device Benefits for Warehouse Management

Sales Order Picking

Mobile devices offer several other possible benefits to warehouses considering them to improve business processes. Packaging operations benefit from mobile computer technology by enabling automatic and precise order validation. It is no longer necessary for packers to guess the correct carton to use because the system can identify the proper carton size and send that information to a mobile device. The carton can then be scanned, verifying that the right one was chosen. Additionally, the mobile ERP devices can keep a real-time inventory of packaging materials, so that the organization can know whether more packaging materials will be needed at any time.


Sales Order Shipping

In terms of the shipping process, businesses can equip their workers with a mobile device and printer so that they can quickly scan a shipment to ensure that the right items are sent. The system will also verify the shipping address and provide information to load the shipment on the proper truck. Printing all shipping documents automatically also enhances the process and guarantees that the order will be correct.


Purchase Order Receiving

Furthermore, mobile ERP devices can help guide workers throughout the warehouse. For example, after scanning an incoming good which needs to be stored in inventory, the mobile device has the capability of showing the worker the fastest route to the location where the good needs to be stored. This process increases efficiency, as workers would be able to store more goods in a shorter amount of time.

In summary, mobile ERP devices offer businesses many potential benefits within the warehouse, including improvements of the shipping, stocking, and packaging processes, as well as the easy sharing/accessing of information. As time goes on, it is likely that warehouses will continue to turn to mobile devices to improve business processes.

Purchase Order Innovation

The importance of purchase orders  is somewhat obvious in today's business. A purchase order is simply an order that is submitted to an outside supplier for an amount of goods specified, for an amount that is agreed upon. But are there any way to improve this system? As stated, the purchase order is a vital part of the business' productivity. It governs how much material the company is taking in for the manufacturing of their product. For example, if we ran an electrical company, we would have to issue purchase orders to other companies for materials that we might need. These materials could range from wiring and electrical cables to switches and lightbulbs. But the acquisition of these items all depends on the purchase order.
