Introduction to CompuTec WMS 3.0
CompuTec WMS 3.0 is a warehouse management solution for SAP Business One. It supports warehouse operations performed on mobile devices, including Android-based devices and barcode scanners.
CompuTec WMS allows warehouse users to process transactions directly from the warehouse floor. The data is transferred to SAP Business One, helping keep warehouse and inventory information up to date.
CompuTec WMS 3.0 is based on the CompuTec AppEngine Framework.
How CompuTec WMS Works
Warehouse users work with the CompuTec WMS Client, which provides access to warehouse processes through a tile-based interface.
Each tile represents a specific process or function, such as:
- Goods Receipt
- Pick List
- Stock Transfer
- Stock Counting
- Packing
Users can scan items, enter the required information, and complete the selected process directly on their mobile device.
Depending on the process, CompuTec WMS can handle information such as:
- Items and quantities
- Batch and serial numbers
- Warehouses and storage bins
- Handling units
- Dates and remarks
- User and transaction information
