Solution
Novacura implemented Novacura Flow, a low-code platform, to modernize Teknos’ warehouse operations. Mobile applications were developed to handle key processes, such as order picking, goods receiving, and inventory counting, while integrating seamlessly with Teknos’ existing IFS ERP system. The solution enabled the use of existing handheld scanners and printers, eliminating the need for additional hardware investments. Teknos’ team was trained to use Novacura Flow Studio, allowing them to develop and extend applications independently.
FUNCTIONALITY
- Order Picking: Mobile apps streamlined the process, significantly reducing the time required to pack and ship goods.
- Goods Receiving & Pallet Racking: Mobile solutions optimized inbound logistics by reducing relocation time and increasing accuracy.
- Inventory Counting: Apps supported inventory cycles and stock control, minimizing discrepancies.
- Modify Handling Unit: An app was developed to remotely adjust warehouse objects, update ERP data, and reprint labels.
- User Training: Teknos’ team learned to use the platform, enabling them to create and extend custom solutions for future needs.
