Apport archiving
Keep your warehouse history accessible
With Apport Archiving, you can retain transaction data from Apport WMS for longer, giving you access
to historical records for analysis and improvements. Data is archived in a separate database, so you keep
access to historical data without affecting WMS performance.
SAVE YOUR TRANSACTION DATA
What is Apport Archiving?
Apport Archiving is the archiving module for Apport WMS. It lets you retain transaction data beyond the standard 180-day retention period included with Apport WMS. With Apport Archiving, you can preserve your warehouse history for longer and retrieve data whenever you need documentation, traceability or analysis.
Apport Archiving moves historical data out of the live system and into a structured archive. This keeps your WMS lean and performing well, while your history remains available whenever you need it. This may include data on orders, goods receipt, picking, movements, batch numbers, item master data and other warehouse transactions.
Maintain performance in your WMS
You do not have to choose between warehouse history and speed. Apport Archiving stores historical transaction data in a separate database, preventing large data volumes from building up in the warehouse management system and affecting WMS performance.
This means you can retain valuable history for longer without slowing the system down. At the same time, the solution supports operations, documentation and analysis.
Find answers in your history
After the standard 180-day period, historical data is no longer available in Apport WMS. With Apport Archiving, you can retain data for longer, allowing you to review warehouse movements and find answers when needed.
Archived data can also be connected to your BI solution or other reporting tools, helping you work more effectively with statistics, analysis and optimisation.
