Store Receiving

The Store Receiving System represents the integration of logistics inventory management and distribution with chain store receiving in a paper free environment. By integrating merchandising receiving and distribution with warehouse distribution center receiving, shipment container labeling, basic stock replenishment picking and contents tracking and other specialty merchandise handling into a single system that tracks the contents of each shipment container and its contents with a single barcode license plate label.

Managing in-transit inventories through status management of stored containers awaiting loading, shipped containers en-route to destination and received at the destination store. Information is communicated to the store level processing where it is interfaced with carrier scanned information for a shipment container level confirmation of receipt. Detailed receiving and adjustments at the store level are supported for contents verification and additions of missing items in the communication.

The Store Receiving and Inventory Logistics System provides for stock staging, carrier and trailer scheduling and management, carrier bill of lading and manifest and integration of carrier 210 and 214 (shipment notification and acknowledgement and invoice) which provides for three levels of shipment verification, one from the warehouse distribution center locations, one from the carrier and one from the store level.

Warehouse operations supported include, cross dock labeling and tracking, pick-and-pack order picking, pick-to-store, wave picking, pick-face replenishment and palletized inventory storage and management. Shipment operations and manifest/bill of lading production are supported in a manual and automated scanned environment. With conveyor based overhead scanning to trailer loading diversion, through an integrated carrier/trailer scheduling application that schedules chain store deliver loading in a chronological fashion for advanced planning.
