Within TBO4 our Advanced Logistics solution, we provide functionalities such as Run Management and a route planning software that seamlessly integrates with Bing Maps. When faced with more intricate requirements, we actively explore the market for top-tier software, enabling us to select and integrate the best-suited products. TBO4 allows users to pick and pack orders and then stage for shipping. In this stage the orders can be shipped out through integrated freight or the customers own trucks and / vans. From here we can then send the orders to Routific which will then complete the optimising of routes. Once the route is optimised the information seamlessly comes back into TBO4 and the route sequence is now optimised. Next the users can use the Load Truck function and the Proof of Delivery function. TBO4 allows the drivers to have unlimited photos when making the drop offs. Please contact us at sales@thericgroup.com for further information. Jack's of Fiji22/2/2024 Jack’s of Fiji is an iconic Fijian brand with a rich heritage of service, products and community engagement spanning over 50 years.
The Transport Management Solution software from The RIC Group has given the Jack's of Fiji a streamlined process of receiving goods at each one of its retail stores while tracking the TOTEs for each delivery. The Operations Manager at Jack's of Fiji gave the reference below: "We have found the software to be highly efficient in managing inventory receiving processes. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, which has significantly improved our team's productivity. We are pleased with its performance and the support received from the team and believe it will be a valuable addition to our organization." A crucial factor in selecting top-notch software lies in the responsiveness of the support it offers. Immediate assistance is essential, especially when seeking support for your Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Transportation Management System (TMS). Delays or the unavailability of support, whether waiting until the next day or dealing with busy consultants, can be costly. If your business is hindered, for instance, by a delayed truck due to awaiting WMS support, it incurs significant financial losses. To streamline the transactional cost of delivering goods to customers, it's imperative to collaborate with a supplier capable of providing timely support. This commitment to prompt support is a point of pride for The RIC Group team. With a dedicated focus on WMS and TMS only, our team comprehends the mission-critical nature of support for the success of your business. Please feel free to reach out to us. UPS21/2/2024 Last mile delivery has a big win on ROI. If you are implementing a WMS solution and you can print freight labels at the time of picking or packing, then it's a huge win for the business in lowering the cost of transaction. There doesn't need to be delays in waiting for a logistics manager completing all the freight, when the information is already in the WMS and can be parsed to the API of the freight solution. Recently we completed our UPS integration. Test label below.
Latest updates16/2/2024 Well-constructed roadmap is a strategic tool that fosters communication, aligns development efforts with business goals, facilitate resource planning, mitigates risks, priorities features, and ultimately contributes to the overall success of software.
When evaluating software, it is indeed prudent to inquire about the features introduced in the past twelve months as well as the upcoming features in the next twelve months. Understanding the recent developments provides insight into the software provider's commitment to innovation and their responsiveness to user needs. Inquiring about future features helps assess the software's roadmap and whether it aligns with your evolving requirements. Moreover, questioning the software provider about their plans regarding the adoption of the latest technology stack is crucial. In the rapidly evolving tech landscape, staying current with technology is essential for security, performance, and compatibility reasons. If the software provider is not actively moving the product forward to incorporate new technologies, there is a risk of being left with a static and potentially outdated product. Compatibility with the latest technology stack ensures that the software remains robust, secure, and adaptable to changing industry standards. By posing these questions, users can make informed decisions about the software's viability for their long-term needs and assess the provider's commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements in the ever-changing software landscape. Some of the features and updates we have rolled out into the WMS and TMS in the last 12 months:
Our customer portal comes with dashboards which can are completely configurable. Allows users to see what has been dispatched for a date period, the status of orders, which carriers are top 10 and more. Further enhancement to our Customer Service Portal now has a Planning Board. Warehouse and operations can see what orders they have for the day / week / month, when to expect incoming goods, what production orders are planned and more. Contact us on our email so we can talk through the features of our Advanced Logistics solution including the Future Tech. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and WMS (Warehouse Management System) are two distinct technologies that, when integrated, can significantly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of warehouse operations.
Other advantages will be that you can use OCR when products come into the warehouse without a barcode. In a manufacturing environment you can use it to capture temperature in the production environment such as temperature of the tanks. In summary, the integration of OCR and WMS creates a powerful synergy, automating data capture and processing tasks within the warehouse. This not only improves operational efficiency but also enhances accuracy and traceability, contributing to overall supply chain optimisation.
