We have listed the main advantages of mDMS for more efficient field warehouse operations

„The new normal“ has not only created a need for measures that will protect employee health, but also new buying habits. This has had a major impact on business models of all kinds of businesses, and these changes have also affected distribution center's and warehouses. This is why there has been a rise in the number of field warehouses in the past year. So far, field warehouses have mostly been associated with the purchase of grain and livestock or, for instance, with the sale and purchase of used vehicle parts. New circumstances have prompted other kinds of businesses to try field warehousing.

But for businesses to carry out their activities on the field undisturbed, they first need to get digitalised and to adjust to new technologies. That is why companies need some kind of a software for warehouse management, and mobile applications that support the web version of the software have also proven to be exceedingly helpful. Their main advantage is that they can be used in big warehouses where internet access is limited or non-existent. Due to the fact that the mobile application can be used as a product by itself, companies can also use it to track employees in the field. Keep reading to learn more about this.

Simplify your field warehouse operations with mDMS

We know from experience that field work demands a lot of telephoning to the „base“ so that some basic information can be exchanged, such as the stock status in the warehouse, product types and their prices, as well as to create offers and orders. There processes often last more than they should and they require additional engagement of the employees, and let's be frank, human errors are pretty common. This is why we at D-software have developed an advanced mobile application for warehousing operation control that accompanies its web version.

During the mobile app development, our goal was to make warehouse operations easier for companies, but also to make the use of the web app simple. To begin using the mDMS app, you need to install it onto your smartphone, and after it has been synced with the web app the data about your operations becomes available at any given moment. The use of the mobile app is simple and can be learned in only a couple of hours of active use, which means that switching to this new way of running operations is quick and doesn't create any additional cost to the company caused by long adjustments. To get a more detailed impression about the design and the value of the mDMS app, you can log into the demo version.

What does the mDMS app offer?

The biggest advantage the mDMS app has over the other similar apps on the market is its flexibility. Due to the various possibilities for adjustments of the app, we have been very successful at adapting to all kinds of industries, from agricultural to the automotive industry!

Another thing differs our application from the others: it doesn't cover all features in the mobile app, but only the segments of operations that are important to a specific company. This kind of personalisation, simplification and adjustment to your needs helps your employees navigate the app and ensures quicker task completion.

Some of the segments of operations available in the application are:

• supply-small purchase blocks- order form

• employee tracking in the field (using travel orders, GPS coordinates...)

• warehouse stock-taking

• incoming stock-taking as an extended arm to the original application Dimension Management System, that enables stock-taking in the warehouse by different ways of scanning

When we created the Dimension Management System web and mobile application, we were led by the idea that everything the user does needs to be simple and available in only a few steps. When it comes to small purchases, the app enables the user to create an order form in only a few clicks. It is important to mention that the app functions perfectly even when there is no internet connection, something that can be a problem in bigger warehouses where internet signal isn't always available in every part of the warehouse. Order forms you create in the so-called offline mode will be automatically sent to the base the second the device is connected to the internet.

Travel order issuing and processing, as well as bookkeeping and vehicle trip logbook are also completely integrated into the system and connected to the main register and the financial bookkeeping. We have tried to cover all basis with the app from the type and the purpose of the transport and the type of cost, to the daily wages and travel order printing. If you use a private vehicle for business purposes, you are required to pay for the trip, and the mDMS app helps you print cost statements of the trips according to the number, period and employees.

We saved the best for last. mDMS mobile app will prove itself most useful during warehouse stock-taking. The process of coordinating the state of the supplies and the obligations of the company with the real state will no longer be giving you trouble. We believe you want to finish the whole process of stock-taking as soon as possible and with as little mistakes as possible. With the Stock-taking option in the app, we have enabled you to enter supplies in stock with a simple barcode scan, and the entry of quantities can be done via smartphone. The entire process is completely automatised and precise, and it also stops you from having to buy additional scanning devices, which helps you save your hard-earned money.
