The RIC Group's Warehouse Management Solution uses the Service Layer to post data into SAP Business One SQL version. Our WMS can use the Service Layer which was previously only available for SAP HANA and is now available for SAP Business One 10.0 PL01 and later.
There is quite a large difference in technology between the Service Layer and DI API. The DI API derives from Microsoft COM technology and fits best in the Windows native environment. Service Layer is an OData-compliant data service with a smoother learning curve, which enables easy Web Mashup, or effortless add-on development in various languages (Java, JavaScript, .Net) using 3rd-party libraries. The Service Layer provides lightweight and faster results and simple transactions and RESTful. We have had a number of customers upgrade to SAP Business One V10 and our WMS and TMS is working well using the Service Layer. We aren't experience any issues with patch levels. With the Service Layer it adds a lot of flexibility for our customers as you can have SAP Business One and the Warehouse Management Solution implemented on completely different environments.

WMS carrier integration19/4/2021 With the recent events of the Covid-19 pandemic companies are looking to improve innovation and technology adoption for their business. This is to help their processes and productivity to support their future growth.
One of trends that we saw in 2020 was when implementing a Warehouse Management solution the customers wanted integrated freight. I blogged about integrated freight as a business gain when implementing a WMS in 2016 here. There is no doubt if your current warehouse management solution (WMS) does not offer direct integration with the carriers you use, your optimal dispatch capability will just not cut it. And will be harder to manage at peak times. There is the need for automated order fulfillment and our Warehouse Management Solution can help your business. It will streamline your business for pick and pack fulfillment, manifesting and shipping processes, by seamlessly integrating with your carriers. We have had integrated freight with Australia POST, StarTrack and Toll for some years and recently over the last while we have added more freight integration. Our WMS now offers integration with Border Express (BEx), Direct Freight, Mainfreight, Smart Freight and Kings Freight. This helps you as a business to lower costs, increase accuracy, increase efficiency, improve customer service and save on costs. There is no more need to have an employee enter in details into your freight management software and have the freight labels printed after the packing is completed. A lot of our customers print the freight label during the picking phase. Not only this this label can be used a your EDI label as well for the SSCC carton. This helps save your costs on label printing dramatically.

Oceanic Food Go Live witH The RIC Group WMS21/12/2020 Oceanic Food is proud to supply quality frozen seafood across the trusted Le Ocean, Oceanic, Le Patron, Tacoma and Carpentaria brands. Oceanic Food is customer focussed and has strict quality control. The implementation features an integration with SAP Business One. The solution design, software deployment and staff training were undertaken mostly under constraints imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. To successfully achieve all key project milestones the The RIC Group utilised the adapted COVID-19 project methodology. When asked about project feedback, Victor from Oceanic Food said, “Going from a manual system to a digital system was challenging enough, but physically moving to a brand-new purpose-built warehouse and cold store utilizing 9 high, double deep pallet racking under COVID-19 just added to the complexity. However, with The RIC Group’s great project plan, remote assistance, understanding of our business process it all worked out and we have been using it everyday since Go Live. This has been great for our digital transformation.” The Supply Chain Solution is browser based which has allowed Oceanic Food to deploy DT Urovo 50 and Honeywell CK 65 Cold Storage RF devices for the receiving, putaway and label process. The next phase will be the picking and delivery process. The WMS has ensured the reduction in travel time and touches which has helped reduce operational costs.
