With our suite of tools — plus access to our reliable, expert team — optimizing core business processes becomes possible.
Optimize inventory control with CAI’s ROC Warehouse Management System (WMS).
Our top WMS software, ROC delivers near 100% inventory accuracy. This is true, not just for the quantity on hand for each inventoried item, but also the quantity on hand of each item in each location for each lot or pallet. High inventory accuracy combined with paperless order picking means very high pick accuracy — which saves significant money.
Meanwhile, supply chain visibility is growing in importance. CAI’s WMS solution delivers clear views of activity and business information within warehouse operations. You can view on-screen visibility to a variety of key performance indicators (KPIs) and information. Then easily share it with sales, accounting, planning, and management resources.
Error-proof shipping and decrease turnaround time with order pooling and pick planning.
Eliminate costly annual physical inventories and reduce carrying costs with accurate product tracking and placement.
Optimize employee resources with workflow management. Plus, maximize efficiency with configurable storage rules and cycle counting.
Receive items into inventory from any source, allow ROC to determine the best storage location and direct users to put receipts of product away in the warehouse.
Handle customer product returns and affect disposition of goods received.
Associate inbound shipments with trailers for receipt processing. Have received items crossdocked to designated locations or directed to fulfill outbound orders.
Promote employee efficiency through accurate inventory balances with a rigorous cycle count program that allows flexible count options, audits and recount controls.
Define the characteristics of items in the warehouse and the rules by which each item will be managed.
Capture and track standard and variable weights through barcode scanning.
Gain control of inventory with Lot, Expiration and Serial tracking that enables stock rotation and recall.
Define each storage location and its associated characteristics to allow ROC to maximize the storage space in your warehouse.
Define forward picking locations by area and zone and allow ROC to control the replenishment of those locations based on min/max and/or order demand.
Place inventory in inspection status to prevent it from being counted, put-away, or picked and shipped until it passes necessary inspection steps.
Perform inspection on quarantined product allowing for material to be released once it passes inspection, continue to be held in inspection, or scrapped if inspection if failed.
Take control of available inventory by preventing the picking and shipping of items for reasons other than quarantine.
Reduce the number of loads shipped and minimize freight costs by planning outbound loads in advance of releasing orders to be picked.
Select orders to be planned for picking, review the plan to see how material will be allocated and picked, identify shortages and decide whether to keep the plan or reject it.
Allocate specific tickets or pallets of an item to customer order fulfillment.
Control how much stock of a specific item will be allocated to customer orders.
Separation of pick work types provides complete control over how pick worksets are allocated and the timing of when work is performed.
Optimize resources and warehouse operation flow by interleaving put-away, refill and picking activities.
Keep employees working productively all day long by allowing ROC to make work assignments based on the priority of work to be completed.
Print customer required shipping documents and labels with automatic or manual print options.
Gain full visibility of the yard and warehouse docks and control of inbound and outbound trailers.
View a list of all scheduled trailers, schedule appointments for inbound and outbound trailers, receive a confirmation number for each scheduled trailer.
Arrive trailers into the yard so they can be stored in the yard or set to dock doors for unloading or loading. Stage trailers to the yard when they are not ready to be loaded or shipped or have been unloaded. Ship and depart trailers once they are loaded.
Master Files settings control the tracking of critical data and determine warehouse logic to be applied. Areas, zones, locations, docks, items, customer, vendor, and employee details all reside in master files which can be maintained from the desktop.
Complete control over what areas of the system users can access and what level of security a user is given.
When users perform functions within ROC, an exhaustive record of activity is collected and available for reporting and analysis.
ROC warehouse management software provides a standard set of reports that can be run upon request and viewed from the desktop or exported in multiple formats. The ability to generate custom reports is also provided.
The accuracy level of the WMS is proven month in and month out and is saving us the equivalent of two hourly workers, or $50,000-$75,000 in manpower on inventory alone. R-WMS has absolutely helped us improve our profitability, just in the control of inventory loss.
OLCC went live with R-WMS® in 10 weeks, and we accepted the system just 16 weeks after signing the contract. We knew we had to make it work. There was no margin for error. The implementation was essentially seamless to outside observers.
ROC offers us the desired combination of a proven, cost effective and flexible WMS software solution and a knowledgeable, professional, forthright staff. Robocom offers practical advice on how best to utilize their standard RIMS software to achieve the desired result. Equally important to us is Robocom’s focus on the impact of RIMS on our user community. Our choice to use RIMS resulted in significant benefits for the FAA and ultimately the flying public.
“Within two months of going fully live with the new system… we are already packing and shipping product much faster than we were in the old system, which to me is pretty amazing. With RWMS we can now actually see how much time we’re spending picking one of our programs. And the system also enables us to establish picking rule to prioritize orders to be picked, which enables us to better serve our customers."
The Microsoft Windows version of Next Generation was an excellent choice for our company. The application performance has been outstanding. In some cases, we’ve noticed a fourfold increase in system speed and performance. In addition, because Next Generation is being hosted in the Cloud, my outlay of capital is a fraction of what an in-house system would have required.
The best thing about ROC is inventory control and (increased) productivity. The inventory count is amazing. ROC has made great leaps and bounds in inventory accuracy for us. ROC allows us to set standards for productivity, whereas before ROC…there was no accountability. ROC makes it much easier to fill orders because you know right away if you are shorting…you can see inventory right on the pick plans…this means customer service is improved.
