WMS: StockSystem becomes Infinity
Replica Sistemi unveiled StockSystemInfinity in 2023 as the latest iteration of its warehouse management system, developed on Zucchetti’s Infinity platform.
Following its incorporation into the Zucchetti Group in 2019, the company decided to study and design a new evolution of the StockSystem product, investing in the Infinity platform.
The product has been thoroughly tested and is functional. In the current year, twenty new clients spanning various product sectors in both production and distribution have adopted it.
An extensive analysis was conducted on the software usage on the users’ side, to create a new, functional, appealing and contemporary graphical interface, with an emphasis on colours and icons that are more intuitive and appropriate for their respective functions.
In addition, this includes crucial incorporations with advanced technologies that will enhance warehouse operations and render logistics work less strenuous, more resourceful, cooperative, and captivating.
This year, the latest product was showcased to all StockSystem clients through incredibly prosperous virtual events.
TMS: new look and new features
Important product advancements have also impacted the transportation line software.
In addition to complying with Cloud Native parameters, the software has been enhanced with new, sleek graphics and improved IT security, as well as significant additional features.
In particular, the EasYard Yard Management System, capable of planning and tracking the entry, stoppage, and exit of all vehicles, goods, and individuals in company yards and plants, has been enhanced with significant product plusses due to collaborations with new clients, such as:
• EasyApp: a cross-platform application designed to manage a company’s plant operations;
• Multilingual virtual totem which can be accessed via smartphones, allowing drivers to communicate their personal data and arrival at the plant without leaving their vehicle;
• Activation of safety course for drivers accessing the plant for the first time on both physical and virtual totems;
• Sending plant maps via SMS to the driver;
• Internal communication of vehicle arrival, distinguishing between the different company actors responsible for receiving a vehicle (concierge, warehouse, incoming material quality control, administration);
• Integration with manual or semi-automatic vehicle weighing systems, ensuring data certification and sharing with administrative systems.
On the other hand, with regard to Controller, the software for managing transport costs and simulating journeys with integrated tariffs in order to select the most suitable carrier, customers have highlighted the benefit of having constant access to valuable data, enabling them to allocate the exact transport costs to each individual shipment.
The use of certain analytical data, shared with information systems and business intelligence software, results in two additional benefits:
- being able to calculate the end-to-end margin for every client and strategically determine how to offer an even more bespoke service;
- improving relationships with carriers and potentially forming strategic partnerships that can also result in service quality certifications.
In response to market demands, Controller now features the Carbon Footprint function, which calculates the ecological expenses of shipments. This data is valuable for analysing and measuring the environmental impact of the business and is essential for compiling the sustainability report.
ERP: certified is better!
For the ERP line, the Replica Suite Demand Analysis App is the first Replica certified App for Dynamics 365 Business Central and accessible on the Microsoft marketplace.
The App was created with the aim of providing the user with detailed information and statistics on the historical requirement of each article in stock.
Also in the Microsoft area, a selection of the firm’s project managers has attended and successfully completed advanced training courses provided by Microsoft. This allows them to provide customers with greater expertise in the world of Dynamics 365 BC.
