MLS Functionalities
MLS driving your warehouse
The success of your logistics is determined by the quality of the services you offer and the costs of these services. With a good warehouse management system (WMS) you can reap a double benefit: higher quality and lower costs.
Distributors under pressure
In logistics, quality means delivering the right product, in the right amount, at the right moment, to the right place and under the right conditions. This used to be a lot easier. Nowadays, both customers and society place increasingly higher demands on logistics.
Delivery on demand
The scale of products being pushed through the logistics channel is growing and growing. Expansion of the product ranges and higher delivery frequencies have lead to an explosive growth in the number of order lines.
In many production and marketing chains, products must be packaged, labelled and stored according to individual customer specifications to keep the logistics process moving, as in the case of paper wholesalers, for example, who must deliver paper cut to size directly to the printers.
The success of the Internet has also greatly contibuted to increased order lines. Consequently, newly developed consumer units in warehouses and distribution centres call for different picking strategies.
To complicate matters, national health, economic and commercial requirements continually impose new demands on safety measures and reporting. Participants in the distribution process are obliged to introduce tracking &tracing processes for lots, pallets or serial numbers, for example, and to report turnover figures to sector organisations and commodity boards.
Sophisticated system
Logistics is no longer just a matter of getting it there as fast as possible; it demands a high degree of accuracy. To ensure smooth logistics processes, all warehouse activities must be finely coordinated. Deviations from the plan require immediate attention to meet deadlines. This requires the appropriate intelligence.
Running a complex warehouse therefore demands the implementation of a sophisticated system that takes the increased intricacy of logistics into account. The average WMS doesn't do that. MLS does.
Leading the field
The advanced MLS Warehouse Management System from Davanti is ideal for the management and control of material flows, even in the most complex warehouses. It functions equally well as a stand-alone system or an integrated element within ERP and financial applications.
MLS is for logistic service providers, retail organisations, wholesalers and producers. It can be implemented in any sector, from foodstuffs, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, to electronics, office supplies and packaging. MLS is at home in any sector. Independent researchers recognise MLS as the absolute leader on the European market. The system has already been successfully implemented in over a hundred situations.
MLS is not only implemented by Davanti but also by businesses such as consultancies and material handlers, who use it as a standard WMS in turnkey solutions. Various multinational organisations implement MLS themselves in their own subsidiaries.
The Dutch Davanti organisation plays a special role in the MLS success story; its international development, maintenance and helpdesk organisation is based in The Netherlands.
