Modules built into the WMS such as its slotting and loading functionality help add value for many clients . Even more importantly , it provides visibility in a high-churn environment . Companies need to know what is in the warehouses so they can control their manufacturing timing and demand forecasting . In a fast-moving warehouse , knowing how many things you have available is not a simple task . “ We are now in a position to give our clients on-hand inventory details from moment to moment ,” Hemmady adds . “ Companies are trying to minimise their cost of manufacturing
and inventory is a cost to business .”
BI Analytics is one of the bigger initiatives for Hemmady and his teams in 2018 . “ We give our clients a spectrum of business intelligence ( BI ) graphics but we have not looked at the evolution of BI analytics in a strategic way , so this year we set funds aside to take analytics to the next level . We are looking holistically at the whole data model of freight forwarding , warehousing and the supply chain sector . We want to start looking at the data and the patterns to predict what is coming in the future . Trend analysis and other things is what the customer is looking for these days . We understand that and will be giving them that in the very near future .”
