Question 1

What is a 3D visual warehouse management system (WMS)?

Accepted Answer

A 3D visual warehouse management system (WMS) is like giving your warehouse a superpower – the ability to see itself. It is a software solution that transforms your warehouse data into an interactive 3D model, allowing you to visualise every aspect of your operations in a way that traditional systems just can't match.

Imagine being able to fly through your warehouse virtually, instantly seeing where every pallet is located, how full each bin is, and even the real-time movement of goods. That's the power of a 3D visual WMS. It takes the complexity of warehouse management and makes it intuitive, providing a clear picture of what's happening at any given moment.

But it's not just about pretty pictures. A 3D visual WMS is a powerful tool for optimising everything from picking routes and put-away strategies to space utilisation and inventory control. It empowers you to make data-driven decisions, improve efficiency, reduce errors, and ultimately boost your bottom line. It's like having a control centre for your entire warehouse, all accessible through a dynamic, visual interface.

It is the future of warehouse management, and it is here .... today.

Question 4

How easy is it to implement and customise your solution?

Accepted Answer

Our implementation process is designed for minimal disruption and maximum familiarization. It's a collaborative journey, not just a handoff. It typically follows these steps:

1. Initial Consultation: We start by understanding your specific needs, workflows, and current systems. This is a two-way street – we learn about you, and you learn about us. This helps us tailor the implementation plan and the system configuration to your unique requirements.

2. Data Migration: We work with you to seamlessly migrate your existing inventory and warehouse data into our 3D visual WMS. We handle various data formats and ensure data integrity throughout the process. We involve your team in this step, providing an early opportunity to interact with the platform and understand how your data is visualized.

3. System Configuration: This is where the collaboration truly shines. We configure the system with you, not just for you. We'll guide you through the process of setting up user roles, permissions, and any custom workflows, using this as a hands-on training opportunity. By actively participating in the configuration, your team gains valuable experience and becomes comfortable with the system from day one.

4. Training & Go-Live: We provide comprehensive training for your team, building on the knowledge they've already gained during the configuration process. We offer a range of training options, from on-site sessions to online tutorials, to ensure everyone is proficient. We'll be there to support you during the go-live process and beyond.

Question 5

What is the average setup time?

Accepted Answer

The average setup time varies depending on the complexity of your warehouse operations and the volume of data to migrate. However, our collaborative approach, with its embedded training, often accelerates the process. We strive for a rapid implementation, often within weeks, not months. We'll provide you with a realistic timeline during the initial consultation.
