What does a WMS control for electronics and technology?

Electronics logistics needs serial-level tracking, warranty visibility and controlled handling. A warehouse management system captures serials at receipt, ties them to the customer they shipped to, manages ESD and secure storage requirements, and processes repairs and swaps against the original serial rather than as new stock.

  • Serial captured at receipt and tied to the shipped order
  • Warranty and revision status visible on the stock record
  • ESD-controlled and high-value zones enforced at putaway
  • Repairs, swaps and refurbished stock held as distinct positions

tech inventory management

BizBloqs provides robust operational solutions that are highly configurable and perfectly suitable to the fast-paced Electronics sector. Whether you require highly complex custom labels or complete traceability, by transforming your business and digitizing all your processes it is possible to take your business to a whole new level.

New to this topic? Start with the complete warehouse management system (WMS) guide — what a WMS does, what it costs and how a rollout works.

Optimized workflow

Our technology platform allows customers to connect logistical operations with channel partners and optimise inventory turns and minimise obsolescence. Achieve greater inventory and shipment accuracy using continuous cycle counting and real-time inventory management and optimize workflow with using business rules.

Traceability

Inventory in the electronics industry can be highly sensitive, costly and requiring special handling instructions. Keep track of inventory through phases, transformations and physical locations no matter what your process is to handle your technology stocks.

Follow your components, assembled articles or products throughout the value chain and have deep insights across your entire inventory at all times. Apply complex labels as part of your process and print them in the right location at precisely the right time to prevent any mistakes.

Manage customer returns

BizBloqs provides a comprehensive serial number management system and our tracking and verification processes helps customers handle returns quickly and efficiently.

With a BizBloqs solution you have kept full track of the asset history as well as the quality process details of the item. This will give you all the information and insight you need to evaluate your processes and make adjustments if needed to prevent unnecessary returns in the future.

Supply chain management

The technology industry offers many challenges to manage the supply chains. Delays can severely impact the manufacturing process and time-to-market. It makes sense to apply EDI, build close (digital) collaborations with trusted and reliable suppliers and leverage integrations across systems to ensure availability of information to all parties.

Manage all inventory based on the deepest shared insights and get your timing sorted out to perfection. Your ability to have perfect control over your inventory and logistics enables your ecosystem to align with your needs and contribute to your success.

Customize your shipments

Customise shipments for every customer and order combination using assembly and kitting processes and improve service with customer-specific compliance documentation and labelling. We understand the difficulty in handling almost identical product codes and packaging and appreciate the high cost of failure associated with high value items.

Multiple carriers integration

Inefficiencies in your transport arrangements can cause havoc for production, assembly or even simple reselling. BizBloqs has pre-established trusted relationships and integrations with a number of the best carriers in the market and can make these available to its customers almost seamlessly.

Leverage the integrations already available or establish your own connection with the trusted carrier of your choice. Either way, your level of control goes to a whole new level and your ability to keep track and have information at your fingertips enables you to keep your transportation efficient and well-managed.

What Technology / Electronics operators run into

The problem

Serial numbers are captured inconsistently and warranty claims fail

WMS

Mandatory Serial Capture

Serials scanned at receipt and dispatch, giving a defensible record of exactly which unit went to which customer and when

Firmware and hardware revisions are mixed in one location

WMS

Revision Segregation

Revisions held as distinct stock attributes with their own locations and pick rules, so incompatible versions never mix

ESD and handling requirements depend on staff habit

WMS

Handling Instruction Rules

ESD, packaging and transport constraints attached to the item and surfaced on the scanner at the moment of handling

RMA and refurbishment stock has no reliable status

OMS

RMA and Refurb Flow

Returned units tracked through inspection, repair and re-grade, each stage with its own status and sellable outcome

Component shortages surface only when an order cannot be shipped

Integration

Supply Signal Integration

Purchase and supplier data linked to real demand, so shortages appear in planning rather than at the pick face

In addition to a scan procedure with EDI integration, BizBloqs has set up an entire production system for us. Production planning can provide direct instructions and as soon as they are ready, it all arrives in the OMS. This gives us a larger production capacity and a drastic reduction of the picking mistakes in dispatching.
