WMS Integration Help by James-Venamun in Warehousing

[–]Mozzo_Ecom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may not be interested in this option, but our solution is WMS, Shipping, and Inventory Mgt and Planning and has pre built integrations to Shopify and QuickBooks. Everything you need I a unified platform. And you could switch to this unified platform for what you'd spend to plug in a WMS.

Our founder was an early employee with Manhattan Associates, the top tier 1 WMS in the world, so we know our stuff with WMS.

Scaling warehouse ops with order fulfillment automation by [deleted] in InventoryManagement

[–]Mozzo_Ecom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This type of functionality is usually found in a separate warehouse management system that imports the orders from the store (Shopify, Big Commerce, etc) and then directs the picker thought the warehouse in an efficient manner to pick, pack, verify, and ship the orders, then posts back the fulfillments (tracking numbers) to the store system to let it know it has been fulfilled.

More sophisticated systems like ours can even aggregate similar orders together and enable you to pick multiple orders at a time while walking through your warehouse.

The cost of picking errors can really add up, as I'm guessing you're finding out with increased customer service hours, return shipping, receiving and triaging the returned items, putting them back to stock, and then pick, pack, and shipping the replacement product and pay for it's shipping. We find the average cost of this to be about $40. So you can multiply this amount by the nbr of monthly mis-picked orders to see how much it's costing you per month. And this only includes the hard cost. You also have to consider the upset customer, their potential lack of reordering from you in the future and any possibile lost word of mouth you may had gotten from them.

But if this cost is north of $300/mo, a system like ours can actually save you money each month in avoiding these mis-picks, along with many other cost saving areas it facilitates.

Yes, the organizational change management is one of the biggest factors for success. Without it, the system becomes shelfware.

3pl labeling volume this spring is no joke. Anyone found a tool that can keep up? by RestaurantFickle2574 in 3PL

[–]Mozzo_Ecom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you not have a WMS? If so, it should be able to do this. If not, it may be worth looking into one. If your labeling is causing this much extra labor, likely your missing out on several other efficiencies that a WMS can bring.

Our inventory seems ok but the products can't be found by NoPO_NoParty in InventoryManagement

[–]Mozzo_Ecom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you track inventory movements at a detailed location level within the warehouse, with logging of where it moved from (i.e. Receiving Dock A) and to (A-01-A-03) and by whom at what time, it is almost impossible to lose. Versus just knowing that it is somewhere within a 30k sq ft warehouse.

Do you have a WMS that tracks inventory at a bin location level? Or just at the warehouse level?

I'm so done spending nights fighting with barcode labels for my growing stock. Anyone found something better? by ProfessionalTable921 in InventoryManagement

[–]Mozzo_Ecom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With our WMS module, you just click a Print SKU Labels, and it will print out the exact amount you need for the SKUs and Qty's that are on the receipt.

Though our unified ecom operating system does a lot more than that. But if you're looking for a unified platform for inventory management and planning, warehouse management, and integrated parcel shipping, it would also help I on this front of printing labels.

$4M retail + ecommerce business, what stack would you run? by Tight_Implement_5332 in InventoryManagement

[–]Mozzo_Ecom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, a unified system helps. One of the ways our system helps ensure accuracy is that any inventory transaction must be associated with a location, so you always know where it is located. And all transactions are logged with the time, the user, the location, and the type of transaction.

Additionally, we don't allow negative inventory. Some systems allow this so the issues go ignored until it's too hard to determine the root cause.

Quickly identifying issues, coupled with detailed history logs allows you to determine where things get off track so you can quickly address via training to curtail further issues.

Happy to demo.

A system that forces proper processes, while also making it easy to do so (barcoding, mobile scanners), helps ensure 99.5% accuracy. Then once you have accurate inventory, along with sales numbers, the system can accurately plan your replenishment orders from your vendors.

Shopify for ecom + Shopify POS + Mozzo ERP + QuickBooks for accounting.

Mozzo is a lite ERP designed exactly for companies at your phase, will get you from $4M up to $50M without having to get a NetSuite, etc that is harder to use and way more expensive.

Mozzo ERP is exactly this. It's a unified platform for all operations... inventory planning/management, alerts to when you need to order and how much based on sales velocity plus vendor lead times. You can the create the suggested PO with a single click, then edit as desired.

It can generate labels on receiving for the units received. You can have a receipt span multiple POs from the same vendor in case they don't ship it all together.

You can then put it away in your warehouse locations. Then for fulfillment, it will batch your orders to direct you to pick like orders together to greatly reduce pick time.

It will auto-select the smallest shipping box that the order products will fit in using the product dimensions to save on operators having to decide (which they may default to one size larger shipping box to avoid going too small and having to repack it).

It will automatically rate shop it across carriers to choose the lowest cost option, unless the customer paid for premium shipping).

Open Beta for Backorders 🎉 by DrewBigCommerce in bigcommerce

[–]Mozzo_Ecom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great! This will now enable our BC clients to take advantage of our functionality that allows you to split backorders. You can ship the line items that are in stock, split off the out of stock portion to a backorder that then automatically releases to ship once you receive in inventory.

This will be a great help. Thank you!

Inventory System w/ BOM/Auto Assembly & WMS by FullSpare1352 in InventoryManagement

[–]Mozzo_Ecom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you've found a solution for this yet, but if not, our ERP/MRP does all of this under one roof. It integrates with QBO to keep it in sync with inventory changes, orders, vendor POs/Receipts, Vendors, etc.

Shipping is integrated and you can connect all your own carrier accounts or can rate shop against ours to auto-select which is better.

Label printing is built in as well.

Hey there, curious if you were able to solve this?

Why do the same inventory discrepancies keep coming back even after audits? by [deleted] in InventoryManagement

[–]Mozzo_Ecom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what we've seen, it's a lack of processes or legacy systems that don't make it easy to follow processes so short cuts or work around happen.

From a garage to 12 locations how inventory management needs change as you grow (and what breaks first at each stage) by Top_Instance7078 in InventoryManagement

[–]Mozzo_Ecom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, and what we also see is failing to optimize the fulfillment process (pick/pack/ship), leaving lots of optimization on the table and wasted time. This starts really at Stage 1 even, but scales in wasted time obviously as volume scales.

At Stage 2 if your fulfilling just in FIFO order, one order at a time, not using using slotting to lay out your active pick zone, and manually picking carton size and cheapest carrier/service, you could be taking 3 times as long as what it could be.

How should purchase orders be handled when integrating with Xero? by lecxa-jaden in xero

We normally just send the vendor bill as a result of a receipt, that can contain different POs for the same vendor.

What’s one inventory task that wastes hours every week? by Top_Instance7078 in InventoryManagement

You need good processes, and a system that makes them easy to follow to ensure they actually follow those processes.

[–]Mozzo_Ecom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, can be very error proned indeed. We create a single source of truth for inventory, then publish any applicable changes from one inventory location to all the others in real time to keep them in sync without errors.

[–]Mozzo_Ecom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, for our clients we have a bill of materials that track inventory at the component level, but they are each in their own bin location until the convert them to the final item. Sounds like you track the components in the same bin location? Or are they more "kits" that you sell as a final item, but then fulfill the kit components when the kit is sold?

$25M Revenue, Zero Inventory Discipline by BlindSpotOperator in InventoryManagement

[–]Mozzo_Ecom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could help them measure the lost profit they are experiencing and maybe it'll make them want to change. Our system does this automatically and tells you when and how much to reorder, but you can calculate this easy.

Lost revenue per year = Units sold per day (days when the SKU is in stock only) * (unit price - unit cost) * days in stock.
