ALS-Optipack
always chooses the lowest cost
carton and shipping method!
ALS-Optipack
chooses the best available carton by
using actual product dimensions and weight, then fitting them
into the actual carton/envelope dimensions. The Rate Module
uses the actual rate, dim weight and oversize rate that your
firm has negotiated with the carriers.
Fast
and Efficient
Actual
item dimensions, weight and restrictions for packing are
used to develop a picking list. The picker can now have
the carton as the first item on the pick list and pick directly
into the carton, eliminating quess work and saving picking
and packing time. The least experienced packer will now
use the most economical carton, bag or envelope every time!
Carton
and Product Protection
Item
and carton protection factors are established and enforced
during carton selection. With
ALS-Optipack the
number of product touches decreases. Packing and QC time
are reduced.
Order
Data and Interfaces
Optipack
integrates
with existing order entry or fulfillment systems by using
the order information to calculate the best available carton
or bag.
Manual
and Batch Modes
In
Batch Mode 75,000 orders or more can be processed per
shift! Either a single order or a batch of orders can be processed
at one time.
Manual
Mode is useful for "what-if" test runs on existing
or proposed new carton selections. Exact carton costs can
be quickly generated by running the same set of orders with
different carton specifications. By running typical orders
with a selection of different cartons improvements in volume
fill, material costs
and labor costs can be achieved.
