PSI's Warehouse Control Software Promises to 'FICS' Order Fulfillment Errors, While Increasing Distribution Center Throughput



Mississauga, ON, May 12, 2006 - In recent years, highly effective warehouse operations have implemented automated systems to optimize their order fulfillment processes. In order to minimize errors, and ensure that the right goods are delivered in a timely manner to customers, accurate communication is required between Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and automated equipment. Bridging this gap is PSI Engineering, a leader in material handling and in-line document automation solutions. PSI's new warehouse control software: FICS Suite ensures quick and accurate deliveries and maximum customer satisfaction.

PSI's Fulfillment Integration & Control Software (FICS) is a set of core middleware modules which connect an organization's Enterprise Resource Plan (ERP) & WMS with the machine-level components of PSI's print on demand automation solutions. FICS makes certain that the proper shipping documents (labels, packing slips and invoices) and marketing related literature are packaged with the proper order. This collaboration leads to the creation of a carrier ready package, with very little manual intervention required.

FICS Suite matches customer related documents to products ordered, synchronizes orders as picked on a per distribution line basis, integrates all cross-platform printing, control files, logs and reports, provides remote control tools and system monitoring and can be customized to fit virtually any WMS system. Not only can this warehouse control software manage any model or combination of PSI automation systems, (such as Industry First solutions: the Autoslip, Print Feeder and LC IN-Feeder 3000) but it can be tailored to the needs of other distribution center automation equipment.

"The software component of an optimized order fulfillment process is critical," states Tony Damaso, Software Specialist at PSI. "With FICS Suite, warehouse managers can rest assured that the right documents will be matched with the right order and that these orders will be at the shipping door in a timely manner."
