Core capabilities
Mobile warehouse operations
SSMS provides warehouse operators with a mobile interface for performing essential stock operations directly from handheld devices. The system supports comprehensive workflows including receiving, picking, moving, counting, and packaging operations.
The mobile interface provides clear task instructions, real-time inventory updates, and integrated scanning capabilities. Operators can access work assignments, confirm completions, and report issues from a single, intuitive interface designed for warehouse environments.
Intelligent task management
The system automatically generates work instructions called tasks based on business documents and inventory conditions. Tasks are prioritized based on business rules, customer requirements, and operational efficiency, ensuring operators always work on the most important items first.
Flexible document processing
SSMS handles purchase orders, sales orders, distribution orders, inventory counts, and goods movements. The system supports both planned operations from existing documents and on-the-fly creation for unexpected situations like emergency transfers or unexpected deliveries.
Advanced warehouse configuration
The back office provides tools for configuring warehouse layouts, defining storage areas, setting routing rules, and customizing workflows. Storage bins can be configured with capacity limits, product restrictions, and handling characteristics, supporting both chaotic and fixed-bin storage systems.
Real-time inventory tracking
SSMS maintains real-time visibility of inventory across all warehouse locations, tracking quantities, lot numbers, serial numbers, expiration dates, and product attributes. This extends to handling units like pallets and boxes, allowing complete traceability of packaged goods.
Multi-level packaging support
The system supports complex packaging scenarios with multiple container levels. Each handling unit can be tracked individually with its own status, contents, and movement history. Packaging operations can be performed standalone or integrated with picking and shipping workflows.
Comprehensive reporting and analytics
The back office provides detailed reporting on warehouse performance, operator productivity, inventory accuracy, and operational efficiency. These analytics help identify optimization opportunities and ensure operations meet business requirements.
Integration capabilities
SSMS integrates with other Openbravo Commerce Cloud modules and external systems through standard interfaces, ensuring warehouse operations synchronize with broader business processes like order management and financial reporting.
