Warehouse Management
CAT Squared’s Warehouse Management System (WMS) enables plants to reach higher levels of efficiency, profitability, and customer satisfaction by managing orders, preventing shipping errors and maintaining precise inventory control in real-time.
Floor personnel use hand-held devices to palletize, position, pick, and ship. The system’s serialized inventory method provides complete traceability and facilitates one-click forward and backward recalls. Reports offer a comprehensive view of inventory levels, movement, rework and yield. And all data is updated in real-time, providing management with an up-to-date view of plant floor activity.
