Order Routing
Optimum order routing is planned and managed with the SINTHESIS™ Order Routing Modules, aligning orders with the most appropriate conveyance and fulfillment paths to facilitate uninterrupted flow. Proprietary algorithms select the next order to inject into the fulfillment process. Each order is tracked and supervised along its route through picking, sorting, quality control, packing, manifesting, and shipping. Integrated with a full line of extendible modules, SINTHESIS creates dynamic order fulfillment processes, from order receipt through order shipment, for distribution centers that provide full-case and split-case, item-oriented fulfillment. And each of these modules can be further customized to deliver even greater productivity in your particular application.
