The Boyum WMS Advantage for SAP Business One
The Boyum WMS Advantage for SAP Business One
Every growing distributor in the Philippines hits a specific ceiling. You start with a few racks and a trusted bodega manager who knows where everything is stored by memory. But as you scale, opening new channels, supplying nationwide retail chains, or handling e-commerce orders, memory fails.
Standard SAP Business One handles inventory well, but it is primarily a financial and administrative system. It tells you what you have and how much it costs.
Produmex WMS (by Boyum IT) tells you exactly where it is, how to move it efficiently, and when to ship it. It transforms your warehouse from a storage space into a strategic asset.
Here is an in-depth look at why Superspeed recommends Produmex WMS for high-volume logistics.
1. The "License Plate" (SSCC) Logic
Most basic inventory systems force you to scan every single item. This is slow and error-prone.
Produmex WMS introduces License Plate functionality (SSCC - Serial Shipping Container Code).
The Workflow: You can assign a unique ID (License Plate) to a full pallet or a mixed carton.
The Benefit: When moving a pallet from the Receiving Bay to the High Rack, your forklift driver scans one barcode. The system understands that "License Plate #12345" contains 50 units of Item A, 30 units of Item B, and 20 units of Item C.
The Result: You move stock 10x faster because you are managing containers, not just individual SKUs.
2. No More "Wherever There is Space"
In a manual warehouse, operators put goods wherever they see an empty slot. This leads to fragmentation and "honeycombing" (wasted space).
Produmex WMS utilizes Directed Put-Away algorithms.
The Logic: Based on the item’s velocity (fast-moving vs. slow-moving), weight, or hazard class, the system tells the operator exactly which bin location to use via their handheld scanner.
Optimization: It keeps your fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) near the dispatch bay and your slow-moving parts in the back or higher racks, slashing travel time during picking.
3. Advanced Picking Strategies using Wave & Zone Picking
If you are processing 500+ orders a day, "Sales Order by Sales Order" picking is inefficient. Your pickers end up walking the same aisle 50 times a day.
Superspeed implements Produmex to unlock advanced picking strategies:
Wave Picking: The system groups multiple orders together. If 50 different customers ordered "Item X," the picker goes to the location once, picks 50 units, and brings them to a staging area for sorting.
Zone Picking: For large warehouses (e.g., multi-level or cold storage), you assign pickers to specific "zones." They only pick items in their zone and pass the order to the next zone (pick-and-pass). This keeps your team specialized and reduces traffic congestion.
4. Catch Weight & Dual Units of Measure (Vital for Food/Agri)
For our clients in the Philippine food sector (meat, poultry, produce), you often buy in Kilos but sell in Pieces (or vice versa), and the weight varies per piece (Catch Weight).
Produmex WMS handles Dual Units of Measure natively.
You can track that you have 100 Boxes of Frozen Chicken, but also know the exact total weight is 1,254.5 kg.
When picking, the scanner prompts the operator to capture the specific weight of the box being shipped, ensuring your invoicing matches the physical shipment exactly.
5. GS1 Compliance & Quality Assurance
Dealing with big retailers like SM, Robinsons, or Puregold? They often require strict GS1 barcode compliance.
Produmex WMS is GS1 certified. It can generate and print GS1-128 labels automatically upon receipt or production.
Quality Control (QC): You can set "sampling plans" in the system. When a shipment arrives, the WMS can automatically block the stock and direct a percentage to the QC zone. The stock remains "locked" in SAP Business One (unsellable) until the QC team releases it via the WMS tablet.
Why Superspeed? The Implementation Factor
A WMS is not plug-and-play; it is an operational overhaul.
At Superspeed, we don't just install the software. We map your warehouse floor. We analyze your picking routes. We configure the "logic" behind the scanner to match your specific constraints—whether you are dealing with expiry-sensitive pharmaceuticals or serial-tracked electronics.
