Overview
Tecsys Elite Warehouse Management is the WMS within the Elite supply chain execution suite from Tecsys, a publicly traded Canadian supply chain software company founded in 1983 and headquartered in Montreal (TSX: TCS). The product is aimed at complex distribution environments including healthcare, retail, wholesale and third-party logistics.
A defining feature is Tecsys' patented Visual Logistics technology, which delivers graphical, instruction-rich guidance to workers on RF guns and handheld computers, communicating exactly what, when, where, why and how to perform each task, which is particularly useful where literacy or training barriers exist. The WMS also offers a one-way voice-picking option for hands-free, eyes-free operation, plus system-directed RF task management and task interleaving.
Elite WMS supports multiple pick methods including wave, waveless, zone, batch, cluster and user-defined strategies, and is complemented by Tecsys' distribution management, transportation management and business-intelligence applications. It is delivered as a SaaS solution and positioned for organizations running complex, high-service-level fulfillment.
