Client case studies
The Jatech WMS is used by a diverse customer base across a broad
range of sectors including packaging suppliers, medical
manufacturers and plastic extrusion specialists. Learn more
about how we have helped our clients to maximise their warehouse
efficiency by reviewing the selected details below:
Deltaform are a plastic thermoforming company based in
Bridgewater, Somerset. The company employs over 200 people
and have just completed a new build 45,000 sq ft distribution
centre to take their total operation beyond 100,000 sq ft.
The facility operates around the clock and can accommodate over
6,000 pallets. As part of their expansion plans Deltaform
required a warehouse management system (WMS) that could provide
them with full track and trace of products from the end of their
production line through to despatch.
The WMS that Jatech supplied was fully integrated into their
existing order processing system and produced directed picking
instructions which were sent to RF scanners. Multiple warehouse
operatives pick multiple orders concurrently, utilising advanced
functionality such as open picks and cross docking (loading
materials from the end of production line straight into despatch
vehicles without being placed into storage).
Deltaform found that their stock check accuracy improved to
99.2% and stock take times were dramatically reduced. The system
delivers real-time control of all stock movements, goods in, order
picking and despatch.
Online Packaging are one of the UK's largest suppliers of
Industrial Packaging Materials. Established in 1990 Online operated
from 3 state of the art distribution centres in Gloucester,
Wakefield and Hinckley.
To streamline their warehousing processes, Online required a
fully automated warehouse system. Jatech managed the design and
installation of the WMS, integrating with the existing Sage sales
order processing system. This provided an automated link
between the sales office and the warehouse, reducing the amount of
paperwork being generated and dramatically improved picking
times.
The system delivers real-time control and visibility of stock
and has greatly decreased stock take time.
In January 2008 Online Packaging became part of the Macfarlane Packaging group
of companies who are the largest UK packaging distributor with 17
branches throughout the country.
Astra Tech, an international medical devices company required a
barcode-controlled warehouse management system to integrate with
their sales order processing (SOP) system. Their existing SQL
server multi user system (also designed by Jatech) currently
handles the processing and despatch of 80,000+ orders per year,
with full CRM and reporting capabilities.
Jatech designed a 'lite' version of their WMS product to
integrate seamlessly with Astra Tech's existing SOP. The
system uses wireless barcode scanners to direct picking from
specified locations. This combined system enables an order to
be entered in SOP and picked through the WMS ready for despatch
(with all accompanying despatch paperwork) within 60 seconds.
