PALMS™

PALMS™ Smart Warehouse Management System is a digital transformation tool for supply chain and warehouse management designed to optimize and control the activities of a warehouse, providing businesses with real-time visibility, improved inventory management, and enhanced operational efficiency.

The Features of PALMS™ WMS

The varied features of PALMS™ Smart WMS offer the capability to handle multiple facets of warehouse management:

1. Inventory Tracking :

PALMS™ offers a comprehensive solution for managing warehouse inventory by delivering instant insights into stock levels, their whereabouts, and movements. This system not only enables the maintenance of stock ledgers but also facilitates both internal and external stock transfers seamlessly. With digital, real-time inventory data at your fingertips, decision-makers always have access to the information they need. Additionally, PALMS™ stores historical data, ensuring precise traceability of batch attributes like batch numbers, manufacturing dates, serial numbers and expiry dates, enhancing accuracy in tracking and management.

2. Order Fulfillment :

In the modern business landscape, providing an exceptional customer experience is a crucial competitive advantage. PALMS™ Smart WMS significantly enhances customer satisfaction by streamlining the order fulfillment procedures. It accomplishes this by efficiently organizing picking routes, recommending optimal picking strategies, and automating packing and shipping tasks. Furthermore, the application offers a tailored notification dashboard to keep you informed and in control of your tasks, leading to faster order processing. By digitally transforming your warehouse with PALMS Smart WMS, you can attain nearly flawless order fulfillment, bolstering your ability to meet and exceed customer expectations.

3. Warehouse Optimization :

Businesses have the opportunity to enhance their warehouse operations by optimizing layout, storage allocation, and resource utilization. The system provides recommendations for the most efficient strategies for both storing and retrieving items, reducing unnecessary movements and making the most of available space. Furthermore, the system’s self-learning capabilities, such as suggesting bin locations and distinguishing between fast and slow-moving items, contribute to a notable boost in warehouse throughput.

4. Demand Planning :

Leveraging digitized warehouse data enables the application of intelligent analytics. PALMS™, through the analysis of historical data, sales trends, and customer demand, plays a vital role in aiding demand planning and forecasting. This, in turn, empowers businesses to maintain their inventory at optimal levels, effectively mitigating the risk of stockouts and minimizing excess inventory.

5. Handheld Terminal Integration :

The integration with handheld terminals (HHT) ensures smooth data capture, leading to enhanced inventory accuracy and increased efficiency in operations such as receiving, picking, and packing. Handy PALMS™ not only improves accessibility and mobility within the warehouse but also empowers managers with remote visualization capabilities. Moreover, it can be extended to work seamlessly with vehicle-mounted terminals equipped with long-range scanners, which further reduces manual errors and elevates overall operational efficiency.

6. Resource Management :

With the PALMS™ Resource Management module, businesses gain the capability to efficiently oversee both machinery and manpower. This module tracks employee productivity, assigns tasks, and offers valuable performance insights, empowering businesses to optimize the utilization of their workforce and boost productivity. Additionally, it aids in identifying and minimizing ‘MUDA’—tasks that do not add value or wasteful activities in the process—thereby streamlining operations. The digital accessibility of all resource-related data within the application equips managers with the information they need to make more informed and strategic decisions.

7. Reporting and Analytics :

PALMS™ Smart WMS goes beyond basic functionality by generating in-depth reports and offering valuable analytics on crucial warehouse operation Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These insights serve as a powerful resource for businesses, enabling them to make well-informed, data-driven decisions, pinpoint bottlenecks, and consistently enhance their processes. The reporting feature delivers insights that were previously unattainable within manual warehouse systems, underscoring the transformative impact of digital automation on operational intelligence.

8. Labeling :

PALMS™ enables barcode label printing, an activity that streamlines the labeling of warehouse locations. This capability greatly simplifies asset tracking and order replenishment processes, as tracking SKU locations through barcodes becomes effortless. Furthermore, the application’s digital features enable the standardization of processes across all suppliers, and promote consistency and efficiency in operations across multiple warehouses.

9. Real-time Integration :

The seamless integration of PALMS™ with other business systems like ERP or CRM allows for the automation of functions and real-time data transfer.
