Description
Task description
Implementation of CLICK Reply WMS at SONIMA GmbH
The company SONIMA GmbH is a 3PL logistics provider and offers to their customers a complete Supply Chain Service. Customers are sub-suppliers for the automotive industry.
Sonima buys worldwide parts, does certain treatments if required and mounts components.
For a transparent order management and stock-handling they choose GS automation for the implementation of the CLICK-Reply WMS.
Sonima runs a Multi-Site, Multi-Owner network of Just-in-Time pre-production warehouses in Europe; Languages are German and English.
2 Warehouses in Germany, 1 in Sweden, 1 in Hungary.
Standalone, individual customized WMS
The installed CLICK-Reply WMS fulfills the customer requirements by its standard and free configuration and customizing features. The user interface is easy to use for warehouse personnel and ergonomically structured. Because of WEB-Browser technology, dialogues can be used for Intra- and Internet applications.
All Master-Records, Purchase-Orders, Advanced Notices for Overseas-Container, Customer-Orders, Billing Master-Tables and Input / Output from the warehouse are handled by CLICK.
Due to good Monitoring features all this is easily manageable and traceable.
Currently the warehouses run paper-oriented. WLAN mode with Mobile RF-Terminals is provided.
Storage- and Activity-billing
Bills for Storage and Activities are generated automatically based on Master-Billing-Tables. Easy to use Master-Billing Tables are typed into CLICK via an adequate dialogue.
CLICK stores all Movements and Activity Records in the Oracle database and does the Standard Billing.
For further applications relevant records can be downloaded to appropriate application programs, for example MS EXCEL. In this way Customer- and Owner-specific analysis and reports can be generated easily. Using this feature a Internet based Customer Information System was established, supplying information about Stock and Package-Status worldwide to all involved
authorized persons.
EDI Interfaces
The Central Server runs in Kirchheimbolanden. All the other sites are connected via EDI interfaces.
Since 2006 the CLICK System is operable at site Kirchheimbolanden (Germany).
In 2007 a Site was added for VOLVO in Sweden.
In 2008 a JIT site was added in Hungary for BORG Warner and a Mounting-Site for GM in Kaiserslautern (Germany).
