Project Overview
An Advanced Warehouse Management System (AWMS) built with Microsoft Dynamics AX to drive business efficiency at Bani Yas Cooperative Society.
The need
With the business increasing, Bani Yas Cooperative Society (BCS) needed an effective solution to manage its massive inventory and stocks. As a result, Confiz implemented Microsoft Dynamics AX AWMS to drive the desired business efficiency.
Key challenges
The Solution
The solution organized BCS’s warehouse so that each location was labeled with an ID and a barcode. This enabled location-wise inventory visibility in the system, automatic suggestions of put-away locations on designated item locations (whenever the items are received in the warehouse), and controlled item-picking routes while inventory issuance and the traditional stock count would be replaced by cycle counting through handheld terminals.
The Outcome
Location labeling with ID and barcode
Every storage location within the warehouse was assigned a unique ID and barcode, enabling precise tracking and efficient organization of products. This ensured that items were easily located, reducing search times and errors in picking.
Tasks such as order fulfillment, inventory replenishment, and shipment scheduling were automated. This reduced manual labor and enhanced the speed and accuracy of logistics operations.
Real-time visibility into inventory levels at each location within the warehouse helped maintain optimal stock levels, prevent overstock or stockouts, and improve order accuracy.
Reduced warehouse costs
Implementing cost-saving measures such as better space utilization, reduced labor requirements through automation, and efficient inventory management, leading to decreased overall warehouse operating costs.
Designated locations on five different levels
Organizing the warehouse with specific storage locations on multiple levels allowed the client to make the most of vertical space and improve the overall storage capacity and accessibility.
Implementing optimized picking routes to efficiently retrieve items from the warehouse shelves, reduced travel time and labor effort.
“I would like to thank the Confiz team, who have launched the project on time, and we are impressed with the result. We are fully confident that our mutual partnership will open a new era for our company.”
