Westcoast Warehousing is a third-party logistics provider offering warehousing, trucking, and storage solutions for retail companies throughout California and the west coast. As business increased, the company needed a picking solution that would improve the pick time for each SKU, while reducing error rates, operator training time, and overall labor costs.
Access to data from anywhere is no longer a value add—it's a necessity. Bastian’s Exacta software for handheld computers provides users with mobile access that will keep warehouse operations on track.
Bastian's RF handheld software, Exacta Mobile, is a group of software modules designed specifically for use on RF handheld scanners and mobile devices. The browser-based screens are configurable to deliver the most important information directly to operators. The Exacta Mobile software provides the ability to quickly and easily incorporate product images and can also be translated to support multi-lingual requirements.
The Exacta® Mobile modules can be implemented as part of the Exacta Warehouse Management System or integrated with an ERP as a component of the Warehouse Control System.
Some of the Exacta Mobile modules include:
Receiving - Provides verification of receipts against purchase orders, advanced shipping notices (ASNs) or blind receipts. Received product may be adjusted or corrected. During the receiving process items may be placed on hold with a reason code associated to this action.
Put-away - Provides movement of product from receiving into the primary (active), secondary (reserve or overstock) storage locations. The level of scan verification is adjustable and can include product and/or location barcodes. User based rules are configurable for a variety of put-away strategies.
Cycle count - Allows operators to verify inventory counts by product, location, or through system generated cycle count orders. Counts may be user initiated or based on a system generated cycle count request that can be set for business needs. Configuration allows for open or blind cycle counts.
Picking - Supports a variety of picking methods. Operators can be directed via RF and prompted to confirm scan locations or the information may be tied in with automation to complete the picking. Operator-based configurations can limit order batch sizes for different operators.
The Exacta Mobile software was developed using the .NET framework and supports WiFi 802.11 standards. With Exacta Mobile's open architecture, a variety of devices can be used including Motorola, Honeywell and Intermec.
