Proxi-Business Launches Comprehensive picking

Compatible with most platforms existing e-commerce, software Proxi-Picking aims to optimize the picking in the store. It is based on new technologies in real-time location-based products and route planning.
Already in the publishing platform e-commerce, with solutions and Proxi Proxi-Store-Shop, the French company Proxi-Business has just developed a new application for inventory management. Especially in the preparation of orders. Called Proxi-Picking, it is "intended to distributors involved in all types of stores," said Olivier Bourgeois, CEO of Proxi-Business, by noting that "the specifics of the outlet are easily configured in the solution."
Development of this new solution, Proxi-Business has received a grant from OSEO on the basis of innovation. Indeed, if there are already many software warehouse management or control - respectively called WMS ("Warehouse Management Systems") and WHO ("Order Management Systems") - the systems are tailored to the stores for their many rarer.
According to Olivier Bourgeois, this lack is due to the specificity of the stores: "Built for the sale, the stores do not, contrary to the warehouses, markings to indicate locations. And their stocks move very regularly, n is not the case in the warehouse. "
Find products
Already compatible with several e-commerce software (Magento, PrestaShop ...), Proxi-picking implements three major technologies to meet the expectations of the stores. The first, geolocation product "can geotag all products of the store and see those who were displaced ...", says the CEO of Proxi-Business. It's not very complicated: with a PDA or a "scannette" it would only take two days to scan and record in the database all the products of a store with about 50,000 references.
The second innovation of Proxi-Picking, related to the calculation of routes, through a mapping or a model of the entire area of ​​the store. An operation that would be as accessible to all types of users. Everyone can position the rays by simple "click and drop" (an estimate of the size of each beam is automatically proposed based on the number of references seizures).
These settings made, the software calculates the preparation time by the number of orders and the number of processors available. And after four "modes" of operation: single-zone, multi-zone, single-or multi-control commands. To support the manager to rely on data to make the best decisions, knowingly. "Everyone is free to choose the route best suited to processors at a given time ...", reassures Olivier Bourgeois.
