    COMPANY
    Picture two young guys doodling up business plans on cocktail napkins and probing their imaginations for a bell-ringer. If you’re guessing Silicon Valley, guess again. It was Portland, Maine, in 1997, and Alex Fisher and Stew Maloney were evolving a concept for the pet industry modeled on the approach of New England yogurt-maker Stonyfield Farm – a commercial enterprise with a socially conscious dimension.

    Accellos One Warehouse will soon incorporate labor standards!

    Friday, May 28th, 2010

    Accellos One Warehouse (A1W) tracks every hand-held activity for productivity reports, and includes an Employee Statistics report that shows user productivity Picking, Receiving, Material Handling, and Cycle
    Counting.

    In our next release, Accellos One Warehouse will let you define labor Standards that are used to forecast labor requirements for each “pivot” in Web Dispatch.

    The Picking and Receiving Standards will be used to forecast the labor requirements for each “pivot” in Web Dispatch.   A new row on the sales order and purchase order grids will let you estimate how much labor will be required for each group of orders based on the current pivot.  Not only will dispatchers be able to see how many orders, lines, and units are associated with a pivot, they’ll be able to see how much labor will be required to complete the orders based on your own defined labor standards.

    We have also added a report to compare “actual” calculated
    metrics versus “standard” metrics to help you refine your definitions.

    Perfect Path: Accelerate Your Returns!

    Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

    Exclusively for Accellos WMS customers, Accellos introduces a new module that can improve picking efficiency by up to 30%…dramatically improving your bottom line results.

    Imagine if your warehouse management system could automatically configure the best possible route for the pickers to take, and direct them on the most optimal path with no additional training.  If you are a unit or case pick distributor, up to 60% of your warehouse labor costs are tied up in the pick and pack process. What if you could reduce the picking time by 30-40% with a click of a button? Accellos has developed a solution that does just that. Accellos One Perfect Path is a new Warehouse Module that specifically focuses on the reduction of picker travel in unit and case pick distribution centers.  Perfect Path allows you to realize a significant ROI within the first 3 months of implementing the solution, which to most is a “no brainer.”

    The latest version of Accellos One Warehouse has significantly enhanced slotting capabilities, including integration to Accellos One Slot!

    Monday, April 5th, 2010

    If your warehouse is like most in the distribution world, your largest operating expense is labor.  And of these labor costs, your biggest expense is picking.  An incremental improvement in the picking process can lead to thousands of dollars on your bottom line.

    The Accellos One Warehouse slotting functionality gives you the ability to
    optimize both the location of your products in the warehouse and the distance that your warehouse workers have to travel to pick you high velocity items.  The incremental Slotting report in Accellos One Warehouse identifies “pairs” that can be “swapped” to improve picking productivity (by locating high velocity items in the optimal pick bins).  The dispatcher can use this report to issue re-slotting requests which populate a new Directed Move task queue.

    Accellos One Slot is an affordable suite of tools designed to maximize the
    overall performance of your warehouse.  It helps to answer the questions of how much, how fast, where, when and why you require facilities and staff in the warehouse.  The integrated solution automatically populates the Accellos One Warehouse Directed Move task queue with slotting requests.  The net result is higher productivity, better utilization of available rack space and increased throughput in your warehouse.
