abstract: what is logistics software? Logistics software generally refers to the information system used by logistics enterprises or their logistics departments. Including transportation management system, storage management system, distribution management system, freight forwarding management system, vehicle management system, cargo insurance claim settlement system, etc. Let's follow the footsteps of Xiaobian to understand the functions of logistics software! What is the logistics software? What is the logistics software?
What is the logistics software?
Logistics software refers to the computer program control system for logistics work and logistics facilities, such as supply chain procurement software, automatic distribution system, two-dimensional code system, etc.
Functions of logistics software
The functions of logistics software mainly include the following points:
1. Location control
Location control allocates a location for incoming materials and enforces the outbound order according to the selected rules. Jingcheng logistics software wms supports random and fixed location storage methods. With location control, when you allocate locations, you can match the material storage requirements and location characteristics. For each storage location, the location control module can maintain the current inventory information, including optional serial code data.
location control maintains and tracks the location characteristics of each warehouse. The logistics software wms stores the map of your warehouse and maintains an address for each storage location, including aisles, supports and levels. You can automatically generate a new warehouse model in whole or in part.
2. run-to-run control
run-to-run control module provides complete traceability of batch and serial number. With a freeze code, you can restrict or prevent the use of material batches that are specially handled at the batch, material and location levels, and you can also assign a reason for the freeze code.
batch control provides complete source tracing, origin initiation, procurement and material composition. You can trace a batch forward from its source (purchased parts) or backward from its destination (shipped parts).
3. Goods management
The database of wms logistics software system contains the information and attributes of each kind of goods that the system needs to handle. This information corresponds to the cargo information in the related system. However, in a real-time, interactive warehouse management system, more product details are needed.
4. Location management
In order to make the system meet the needs of customers effectively, the detailed information of all locations is stored in the database of wms system, a logistics software. Wms system, the logistics software of Jingcheng Software, contains the detailed information of warehouse storage system and storage unit. This information includes the size and carrying capacity of each cargo space. The logistics software system can automatically arrange the position order on the picking list or other work orders. For example, when the delivery list is entered into the system, the system can calculate the most effective delivery route according to the restrictions of vehicles, equipment, personnel and passages.
5. job management
the design of wms system of Jingcheng logistics software can make workers walk the shortest distance and realize the maximum output rate and space utilization. The work of warehouse operators is assigned by the system. And at any time, the rules of work assignment can be changed with relevant authorization. All warehouse operations are managed through the system. Such as sorting, receiving and placing, moving goods in the warehouse, inventory, etc., the logistics software wms will convey these operating instructions to the right personnel at the right time. Operators will immediately notify the logistics software wms system after each task or transaction is completed. The system will record all the information and adjust the location and quantity of SKUs.
development direction of logistics software
as we all know, logistics software is a service tool based on logistics. Without logistics, it is impossible to talk about logistics software, which fully shows that good logistics software should develop with the development of logistics and improve logistics. It is self-deception to emphasize that logistics software can complete the process reengineering of logistics industry.
China's logistics industry is still a new industry, and most logistics companies still earn hard money (managers don't have time to rest, let alone ordinary employees. In order to save costs, it is very common for a radish to have several pits in logistics enterprises).
The employees of logistics companies should be composed of two types of personnel:
1. Knowledge and high-ability talents (sales managers, customer service managers, operation managers, executive general managers and planners), who are responsible for sales public relations, problem-solving coordination, overall operation, formulation and evaluation of the company's development direction, and corporate culture construction.
2. Ordinary laborers (porters, drivers, clerks, etc.) do not require high general cultural knowledge, and are mainly engaged in the internal operation of the company.
however, judging from the personnel composition of logistics companies, the first type of personnel is quite scarce, and most logistics companies are transformed from traditional roasted seeds and nuts companies or storage and transportation companies. Many company bosses are peasant entrepreneurs, and their business philosophy, industry awareness and vision are more or less affected.
In view of the above reasons, the awareness of logistics software is quite different from that of most logistics software companies, which may be the reason for some logistics software companies to close down or change careers.
First of all, everyone believes that with the development of China's economy and the increase of foreign trade; With the improvement of service consciousness of logistics companies and customer demand, logistics software will have a very broad development world.
as far as the current situation of logistics enterprises is concerned, the development of logistics software should meet the needs of the current market, and it is necessary to fully solve the urgent needs of customers before trying to "learn". Just like you make clothes for a child, you can't make an adult's clothes for him, even though you know he will grow up. Otherwise, it will not only be thankless, but also waste a lot of costs.
