WMS extended with power-picking control centre
30 January 2017
TouchPath, is extending its ‘TouchWMS’ warehouse management system with the addition of a 'power picking' Control Centre. The first TouchWMS Control Centre user, an international components manufacturer with regional European distribution sites and a global supply network, reports early pick productivity increases of up to 50%.

The TouchWMS Control centre is a management tool that enables specific picks to be assigned to specific pickers. It removes the need for pick notes by presenting assigned picks to warehouse operatives on-screen via mobile terminals, then tracks the status of each pick in real-time, measuring picker performance by individual and by team.
TouchPath adopts a tailored approach to user needs. “You set the rules and we build your WMS around them – one that fits your needs and conforms to your business. TouchPath uses smart, flexible modules that can be bolted together in almost any combination to deliver a customised solution at an off-the-shelf price. Control Centre is our most powerful WMS module to date” says TouchPath International CEO David Myers.
TouchWMS is multi-lingual and currently supports 11 languages. It has the functionality to support the full range of warehouse processes, from goods receipt, guided put-away, task management, stock allocation and multi-zone wave picking, single order pick and pack or bulk order picking. Other processes that can be supported include automatic replenishment, load management, the generation of multi-lingual dispatch notes, and pallet manifests, plus integration with several carrier consignment systems.
TouchWMS can run stand-alone or integrated with all mainstream ERP and other supply chain and legacy systems.
