Haas Group finds Mobile WMS as the perfect match for their Microsoft dynamics AX solution.
Starting with Microsoft dynamics AX as new ERP solution we had the need of putting warehouse stock and stock movement into AX. The stationary usage of warehouse related posting journals on PC were not useful there. So we came to the conclusion that we Needed a mobile infrastructure for this.
The challenges
The challenge was to find an integrated AX based solution which could be handled in a rough production and logistics environment that would fulfill our general requirements. We had the following requirements to the Mobile WMS solution:
- Direct Integration into AX (no store and forward or batch processing)
- On- and Offline functionality
- Support of ALL AX related processes
- Individual functional Extension/programming capabilities
- Affordable Price
We chose the solution from Tasklet Factory because of the overall solution concept and the profound knowledge and service oriented approach of Tasklet Factory’s Consulting Team. Also the fulfillment of our requirements combined with the very competitive price suited us well.
From 3 days to 6 hours
Primarily the logistics in inventory counting- and stock movement processes have really gained from the implementation of the Mobile WMS solution. For example before using Tasklet Factory’s solution we needed between 3 to 5 days for inventory counting and posting. Today we only need 6 to 12 hours. Secondarily the actuality of stock availability / the “truth” of stock figures. And last but not least the overall clarity/actuality of warehouse value figures in General Ledger and Cost Accounting related postings.
Employees understanding of the stock has been improved
By using the Mobile WMS, the understanding of stock management in general has been improved among the employees. The responsibility for stock and the “in and out” processes have increased. The satisfaction in being stuffed with “high tech” tools in the “dirty” logistic and warehouse business.
Future plans
We have plans for the future, extending the usage for office related tasks in IT system management and expanding in production related processes. Perhaps that might solve the issue to a certain degree.
