Re: 3rd Party WMS interfaced with System 21

We are using PkMS from Manhattan Associates.  We had to build our own
interfaces based heavily on the GBA interface but it works pretty well.
However PkMS is very unforgiving if you do not follow procedures correctly.

We currently use the warehouse management module in System 21 along with
Nutech scanning extensions and Varsity Logistics.  We are considering
various 3rd party warehouse management systems to interface with System 21
order management and inventory control.  We would be interested in any
feedback from vendors or users regarding successful implementations of 3rd
party WMS.



Our main goals are:



*            Support for more automated material handling systems
*            Support for RFID
*            Support for different picking methodologies
*            Support for more QA points in various processes
*            Directed and interleaved operations
*            More sophisticated labor reporting
*            Better support for multiple units of measure for a single
item#





We would also be interested in sharing information and possible
collaboration with other users that have extendended System 21 WMS
functionality, particularly through Nutech.  For example, we developed our
own cycle count functionality that is dramatically faster than the standard
System 21 approach.  We have also developed some labor reporting using
date/time stamps captured via Nutech transactions.
