Apport Pocket
Take warehouse management to handheld terminals
Apport Pocket brings the functionality of Apport WMS to approved Android-based handheld and
vehicle-mounted terminals. Employees can complete tasks and record data directly in the warehouse
- reducing manual handoffs, speeding up data capture and improving data quality.
MOBILE WAREHOUSE PROCESSES
What is Apport Pocket?
Apport Pocket is the terminal solution for mobile warehouse processes in Apport WMS. Apport Pocket is already included with Apport WMS, so there is no need to purchase it as a separate module. The application runs on approved Android-based handheld and vehicle-mounted terminals, giving employees access to relevant tasks, information and data entry wherever the work takes place.
Instead of taking notes on paper or returning to a PC, employees can complete and record the task in the same workflow. This creates a closer link between work in the warehouse and the data in Apport WMS.
Warehouse management at hand
Give employees access to relevant warehouse tasks and information directly on the handheld terminal.
Access from the truck
Manage warehouse operations from an approved truck-mounted terminal – without leaving the truck to find a PC.
Record work on the spot
Record the work where it is carried out, reducing the need for paper, notes and later data entry.
MOBILE PROCESSES IN PRACTICE
The tools move with the employee
Employees have access to the information they need while carrying out the task. This creates a more direct workflow and reduces the gap between the physical task and the data recorded in the system.
Picking with a scanner
A handheld terminal guides the employee through the picking process. Scanning verifies the item and records the pick as part of the workflow.
Recording in the warehouse
Record information directly while carrying out the physical task – without first noting the data and entering it at a PC.
Tasks from the truck-mounted terminal
Give the truck operator access to relevant warehouse tasks and information close to the goods and locations involved.
YOUR BENEFITS WITH APPORT Pocket
When data follows the work
Fewer manual steps
Reduce paper, handwritten notes and later data entry by recording directly on the terminal.
Faster data capture
Complete and record tasks in the same workflow, so employees do not have to switch between the warehouse and a desktop PC.
Better data quality
When information is recorded as part of the task, the risk of missed or incorrect entries is reduced.
A more reliable picking process
Scanning helps employees verify the item and supports a more consistent picking process.
Less unnecessary walking
Employees access information in the warehouse and do not have to walk back and forth to a PC to record data.
More consistent workflows
Mobile tasks guide employees through processes and make it easier to follow the same procedures.
MOBILE WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT
Why bring the functions into the warehouse?
Efficient warehouse management requires access to data and functions where the work is carried out – not just at a PC. If employees first have to write information down and enter it later, more handovers arise between the physical task and the warehouse system. This takes time and increases the risk of information being forgotten or entered incorrectly.
With Apport Pocket, the mobile terminal becomes part of the workflow. Employees can view relevant information, carry out the task and record it directly in the warehouse.
