BLACKHAWK WMS

Blackhawk’s Warehouse Management System provides the scan-centric tools needed to reduce on-hand inventory, to increase inventory turns, save valuable square footage, and improve the bottom line. Every app within our suite focuses on material management efficiency resulting in savings in time, money, and floor space.

WMS Scan to Receive App

The Blackhawk Scan to Receive App uses state-of-the-art scan- centric technology as the first step in our cutting edge approach to world class inventory control. In receiving, each container is uniquely identified and enters the plant with its content known, based on the scanning of the containers simple or master label.

This information is then seamlessly and immediately transferred directly into the ERP, ending the commonplace data entry or timing issues which stem from the use of paperwork.

Primary features

  • RDR Receiving – Allows the receiving personnel to electronically record issues that impact the receiving event. It also stores an audit for later use by the accounting and materials department. The audit includes: missing parts, wrong parts, bad labels, etc.
  • ERP/MRP update – Uploads BOL into ERP/MRP business solution
  • FIFO Material Move – Allows the enforcement of FIFO material handling

WMS Scan to Move App

Accurate inventory is the most important stepping stone to success in repetitive manufacturing.

With every container labeled correctly, every inventory move is accomplished through the scanning of the container’s serial number and scanning the location that it is going to.
