Order/Product Management
Order Planning Modules analyze order content, balance the fulfillment sequence, and plan optimum routing for every order. SINTHESIS™ reviews every order individually, and its impact globally, to plan and synchronize the real-time flow of order fulfillment from receipt to shipping. With coordinated planning, throughput and productivity are maximized. Manual operations and the deployment of manpower are minimized. Shortages are avoided. High-priority and rush orders are expedited without disrupting the smooth flow of scheduled orders. On-time deliveries are ensured. 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.
