The possibilities for order picking are many and are always based on the needs of the business. Counts, among other things: Picking single orders and Batch picking orders that require a post processing.

Other functions
Stocktaking
Apport WMS supports both manual, peridocic and continual stockttaking, and generally all countings can be done, while the warehouse is in full function. In doing so, you avoid the resource demanding, yearly stocktaking. Ongoing stocktaking can be configured as such:
- 0-point-counts.
- Counts that get activated as a result of a certain amount in a location
- Counts that follow a predetermined cycle, depending on how often you want the item counted. The stocktakings can be varied in accordance to A-, B- and C-items, and also offer the possibility to do manual or periodic stocktakings, where select parts of the warehouse are accounted for.
- Manual countings can be done either as traditional “item on location”-counts or location counts.
Business Intelligence, surveillance and reporting
Apport WMS makes it possible to collect data and use these data to improve and make your decision making more proactive.
Apport WMS gives you both the ability to have an advanced Business Intelligence solution – showing you data in real-time and an overview of relevant KPIs – and a more traditional reporting.

Modern Technology

The voice recognition software is supplied by the American firm, Honeywell.
The system can also be serviced using wireless hand terminals from, for instance Honeywell, that are easy to se and comfortable to work with.
