Industrial Warehouse and Distribution Applications of the KnarrTek Software

An important application of the KnarrTek software is in the tracking and management of warehouse operations. This can be for industrial distribution warehouses and project inventory warehouses, such as for construction projects, as well as for warehouses associated with manufacturing plants.

KnarrTek's distribution solutions include the ability to track the receipt and put away of materials, their picking and packing in response to customer orders, as well as the shipment of materials to customers, other warehouse and manufacturing plants.

Some of the reasons that make KnarrTek the ideal choice for tracking and managing warehouse operations include:

• Need to track and trace materials by lot number, serial number, and expiration date.
• Need to track inventory in real-time in warehouses at multiple different geographic locations and yet be able to manage inventory through a centralized management portal.
• Able to track the movement of materials between warehouses and manufacturing plants.
• Able to track materials at field sites, such as on construction sites.
• Ability to track materials by project and to make sure that materials are only used on the designated project without express management decisions.
• Ability to integrate multiple warehouse operations with a single accounting or ERP system.
• Ability to aggregate orders from a variety of sources, such as multiple E-commerce and over-the-counter operations, and route the orders to the correct warehouse.
• Ability to automatically turn customer and internal orders into pick and ship orders and then send these to the appropriate warehouse.
• Ability to automate reordering of inventory for each warehouse.
• Ability to track materials on trucks and other vehicles, and to implement "warehouse-on-wheels" delivery systems.
• Need to track and validate cold-chain distribution for critical food and pharmaceutical products
• Need to do kitting, repackaging and relabeling as part of warehouse operations.

The KnarrTek warehouse management and distribution software is specifically designed for  industrial applications as well as for the warehousing and distribution of products regulated or controlled by Government agencies such as the FDA, USDA, DoD, FAA, and FEMA. It is not intended for high-volume direct-to-consumer warehouses, such as those operated by organizations such as Amazon. It is, however, used for shipping products to the distribution centers used by big-box retailers,  restaurant and supermarket chains.

The KnarrTek software includes the capability for monitoring the loading of trailers to ensure that the correct materials get loaded on each trailer. This software can also generate packing lists, bills of lading and electronic manifests at the completion of loading. It can also can be integrated with shipping systems, such as those for UPS and FedEx. The KnarrTek can also generate advanced shipment notice data for delivery by EDI software , as well as exchange data with supply-chain management systems.
