CDC is currently running a third
party Warehouse Management System, which allows us to track all inventory
movements within our distribution center. Each pallet, carton or counting
unit is given a license plate and tracked in the WMS.
To further facilitate inventory
movement we are operating wireless data terminals.
Bulk inventory in support of an order
fulfillment program is moved to our pick, pack and ship area where it is
used to replenish the pick-face. From the pick-face, product orders are
tracked by our order processing system until they are handed off to a
carrier.
At the end of each shipping day,
inventory balances and order tracking numbers are sent back to our
Client’s data processing system.
Currently, orders are picked from
paper, check weighed at the manifest station for accuracy, and prepared
for shipment with the use of Clipper Ship Software.
For “Next Day” and “Second Day” orders, the transit time through our warehouse is the day of receipt. For
most ground orders the same is true, but late afternoon orders can be
carried over to the next day. This means that the maximum transit time
through our warehouse is 24 hours.
