Business Benefits

Proper space management (i.e. the optimal use of all available space) is an essential operation for any profitable warehouse. Decisions regarding the locating, picking, and re-warehousing of stock (by the system and manually) effect this profitability.

This program allows both the system and the user to "view" the current usage of locations (e.g., percentage of used/unused space) in order to make appropriate space management decisions.

Note: For related documentation and workflows, see OR - Order Analysis and Adjustments.
