Warehouse management technology
The demand for supply chain services across multiple organisations is redefining the role of third party logistics providers. As the supply chains go global, organisations need to know when and where stock is available.Excellence in stock management is crucial to this, as is the need to integrate transportation services and value-added services into the traditional approach to warehousing.
CEVA Logistics' Matrix™ is the application infrastructure that delivers the know-how to link these components. No matter how complex the customer's technology resources, Matrix™ software can be integrated to optimise costs, functionality and flexibility.
Sophisticated warehousing
The Matrix™, a Warehouse Management System (WMS), maximises efficiency within the supply chain by automating key processes from inbound goods arrival to inventory storage and fulfilment of outbound orders. This enables CEVA to manage procurement, manufacturing and distribution activities in a multi-customer model.
As a result, we provide customers not just "inside the four walls" management services, but the ability to integrate procurement, inventory management, vendor managed inventory (VMI), subassembly and kitting.
Configurable system
Matrix™ WMS can be easily configured. It contains a comprehensive set of parameter-driven activities that, once configured, provides a comprehensive tailored solution.
Integration and communication
Matrix™ WMS comes with standard formats to electronically communicate with systems including certified interfaces to Oracle, SAP R/3 and other leading enterprise resource planning solutions.
Increased efficiency
Matrix™ WMS reduces the turnaround time from order entry to order fulfilment, while increasing delivery accuracy. It does so by allowing for the recording of received goods, managing the put away process, utilising stock management methods and linking the warehouse to the transportation process and transit times of the fleet.
Whether goods are stored in a single warehouse or distributed across several, or in a single or multi-user facility, Matrix™ WMS provides up-to-date global information and control. It manages all transfers related to order fulfilment, stock replenishment and inventory balancing. Once the goods are in transit, Matrix™ TMS monitors the progress of the transportation activities to the ultimate destination.
MyMatrix™
The MyMatrix™ advanced portal environment makes it possible to view all data collected by the WMS system. Warehouse information can be viewed via secure, real-time and customised views to any or all parties involved in the supply chain.
