Crosspoint Implementation
Our competitors are powerful companies, especially international, with easy access to top WMS technologies. We have also searched for a flexible company that proposes a competitive IT solution and the know-how necessary to integrate the new solution with the existing ones. After many rounds of negotiations, I chose Crosspoint Point Point solution offered by Point Logistix.
ALKA has relied on Crosspoint in recent years, and expectations have never been deceived.
Thank you Crosspoint, thanks to Point Logistix.
Project features
Implementation of WMS Crosspoint in the Alka group started at the end of 2009 by analyzing the remodeling of logistics processes in the new WMS solution and in the already used ERP solution. Over the next few months, the solution was extended to nine other regional warehouses. Increased accuracy, required in the traceability of raw material, required that in the same year 2010 Alka Co’s main warehouse be implemented.
Standard and advanced features enabled:
- Order picking to manage volume controls;
- Centralized preparation for direct distribution commands
- Kitting for promotional packages;
- Integrate with factory production delivery mode;
- SSCC Integrated External Providers;
- Stock optimization: advanced put-away and replenishment criteria;
- Packaging Management (including CHEP pallets).
