Breaking Through Warehouse Management System for Microsoft Dynamics GP

However, still there are obstacles and unsuccessful implementations in Supply Chain Management, Consignment, Picking and Packing.  Talking to numerous WMS and SCM customers, we find the trend - the problem is not really in WMS itself, it works.  The problem is in rather Warehouse Management System integration implementation.  If you simply try to implement add-on to your Corporate ERP, enabling typical WMS features directly in the ERP application (all you need to do in most of the cases is to enable Barcode scanner real time or batch mode integration) - you may likely expect better chance.  Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP was also known in the past as Great Plains Dynamics and eEnterprise - if this is your ERP system, then we recommend you this document:
1. Barcode Scanner resided WMS client application.  When you scan on the warehouse floor, either doing merchandize receiving or sales order fulfillment (picking and packing) - barcode scanner talk to the WMS server and uploads scanned data directly to Microsoft Dynamics GP Distributions modules: Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Processing, Inventory Control
2. Technology behind.  Traditionally we recommend Order Connecter layer of SQL Stored Procedures.  WMS server talks to Dynamics GP SQL database via ODBC connection, uploading data in real time or if required in batch mode.  Technology is very simple and the goal was to enable simple programming to be efficient on the top of the Barcode scanner operating system and LCD graphics
3. Convergence 2010.  We saw record level of the interest to the SCM and WMS applications, especially working directly out of Great Plains DB (not external stand alone WMS).  As we are catching up with Logistics ERP market, we invite you to visit our booth on Convergence 2011
4. International aspect.  Microsoft Dynamics GP is very popular in Arabic speaking countries, as well as in Spanish speaking Latin America.  We are well positioned to travel internationally and familiar with Corporate ERP systems markets in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Russia, Brazil, China, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico.  Our Corporate ERP and WMS consultants speak English, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, Filipino.  In the countries, where Dynamics GP is not localized we recommend and implement SAP Business One or Dynamics AX
