The Ruscan mezzanine-type warehouse is used to store goods, such as Ruscan dry food products for pets, advertisement products, and merchendising products. While storing the food products, butches of goods and their expiry dates need to be accurately tracked down.
The technology processes used by Ruscan included several shipping types that the Solvo.WMS system was required to track down, such as receipts from manufacturing facilities using SSCC-based ASN, expected receipts piped down using a conventional technology with SSCCes generated immediately at the warehouse, and receipts of advertising products piped down using a conventional technology. To compile orders at the Ruscan warehouse, Solvo.WMS takes into account expiry dates of goods that are to be shipped to branches, customers. etc.
In addition, the integration between Solvo.WMS and the customer's ERP systems was implemented. The Navision ERP system is used by the customer as the main system to generate all necessary documents for the goods shipping/loading. The 1
