This feature makes it possible to schedule the arrival of trucks at loading bays by fixing appointments. Inputting procurements is currently long and tedious, it will become rapid and simple.

Automatic re-stocking

EffiTrace also manages automatic re-stocking based on an alert limit or the seasonal nature of sales. It makes supplier orders easier for you, they’re already prepared. Never again will you lose a sale by running out of stock!

Receipt of goods

Receipt management handles all incoming stock functions: whether or no receipts are scheduled. When the truck arrives, data can be input as a priority by EDI, using the procurement form in the software, by barcode or manually… This feature makes it possible to check the quantity and quality of the goods and even score the carrier’s service.

Stock entry with addressing

This module defines the warehouse stock policy. It enables mixed pallets to be handled. Each location receives an address used to optimise the storage of items. The solution covers multiple sites and multiple warehouses. EffiTrace creates a list of locations for an item and suggests stock entry based on configured criteria such as the primary location for the item, grouping by item type, details about the item (heavy, fragile, bulky) or completely empty locations. Items can be put in stock by automatic or manual addressing and is used to reserve a location for an item type. You’ll save space and time.

Stock query

All these queries are intuitive and fast. EffiTrace also manages movements within and between warehouses for the logistics service.

Stock-taking

EffiTrace performs general stock-taking and rotating stock-taking. These can be done by location and/or by activity (item, batch, product family, owner, expiry date, etc.). During physical stock-taking, the adjustment function confirms the physical quantity entered compared to the theoretical quantity in stock at this location and requests an immediate check in the event of a discrepancy. The change is immediate and saves valuable time. Finally, EffiTrace can value the stock using the FIFO, LIFO, PUMP or standard price method.

Product catalogue
