How can you benefit from fully automating your logistics flow?

Goods receipt

  • Goods receipt is conveniently booked via SIGMA Mobile Warehouse Management with a handheld using barcode scanning. All information is synchronized in real time with SAP Business One, eliminating the need for manual entry for the most part.

Order creation

  • Thanks to webshop connectivity, SAP Business One and your webshop application automatically exchange product, customer and order data with each other.
  • Sales orders are generated automatically via an interface, resulting in a noticeable reduction in your administrative workload. Semi-automatic generation with manual checking is also feasible and gives you extended control options.

Picking

  • Orders are automatically transferred to picking lists, with automatic storage location and batch selection based on customer-specific criteria such as BBD.
  • Pick lists are available in the Digital Packing Table and show which goods are to be picked. With the digital packing table, you also benefit from a detailed display of the packing status.
  • With SIGMA Mobile Warehouse Management, collective picking and thus the combination of several picking lists into one collective picking list becomes possible. This enables the simultaneous picking of shipping goods for several shipping orders and you benefit from efficient picking.

Automation of the document chain

  • The creation and printing of delivery bills becomes fully automated with our solution.
  • Shipping labels are generated automatically and the customer is notified. In addition, we offer a flexible choice between shipping as merchandise mail or parcel.
  • Outgoing invoices are created and printed automatically, based on the information in the delivery bill.

FAQ

SIGMA Performance Boosters automate recurring tasks, making processes more efficient.

Barcode scanners enable digital, paperless inventory management. You can choose between guided inventory management with optimised counting lists and free inventory management.

(3) We process this data to analyze the productivity of our chatbot and to continuously improve it. This includes the following purposes:

  • Chatbot performance optimization: We collect and analyze interactions with the chatbot to evaluate its efficiency and performance. This includes, for example, questions the chatbot could not answer, repeated inquiries on specific topics, and similar issues.
  • Enhancing the user experience: We use data to improve the user experience. This includes analyzing user feedback to make adjustments and expansions to the chatbot to better meet your needs.
