Toplog integrated the warehouse management system TopLog WMS in the Discover Invest warehouse

2021: Implementing TopLog WMS

The Toplog team integrated the warehouse management system TopLog WMS in the Central Warehouse of the construction company Discover Invest and automated all warehouse business processes of the enterprise. This was announced by Toplog on November 29, 2021.

The introduction of WMS made it possible to solve issues with re-sorting, traceability of products in the warehouse, transparency of accounting for warehouse operations. Under the control of the WMS TopLog, the management of the goods that are purchased for the implementation of the customer's construction projects is transferred.

At the initial stage of the project to automate the construction warehouse DISCOVER INVEST, Toplog experts together with the customer carried out large-scale preparation of the distribution center:

1. Systematized information on the operation of the warehouse complex as a whole and each of its warehouses separately;

2. Developed topology and algorithms for the movement and distribution of products for storage;

3. Mark each storage bin;

4. Delivered shipping documentation and label printers to the customer;

5. Prepared the IT structure of the distribution center for the implementation of the WMS TopLog.

When configuring WMS, Toplog specialists took into account all the features of accounting, placement and storage of goods used by the customer in their work.

The WMS TopLog provides three options for inventory of the warehouse: planned, selective and situational. Due to the strict accounting of all business transactions with the product and the introduction of information with the WMS system, the inventory in the automated DISCOVER INVEST warehouse is as fast and easy as possible.

During the implementation of WMS TopLog, an additional Information Panels module was connected to the system, due to the capabilities of which reports are displayed on plasma panels:

• by product balances and by category;
• on the balances of goods on unselected orders;
• according to the status of orders at the stages of acceptance and shipment;
• by address and product locks;
• by storage capacity;
• improving personnel performance.

After automation of the Central Warehouse, the implemented WMS system manages each business process, provides management with access to all necessary reporting for effective management. Each warehouse employee at a single point in time knows exactly what he needs to do - TopLog WMS outputs tasks to the employees' shipping documentation and monitors their execution.

In 2022, DISCOVER INVEST management plans to register all 35-40 construction sites of the enterprise with WMS to fully control the flow of inert materials, exclude cases of re-procurement and the formation of illiquids. Due to the management of warehouse processes with TopLog WMS, significant savings in construction costs and an increase in its profitability are expected.
