Sage X3 ERP & Datalinx

The standard Sage X3 Distribution suite offers incredible procurement, sales order management, inventory and accounts management. The import management functionality in Sage X3 provides excellent coverage over containers, BOL’s and vessels; enhancing managements capacity to incorporate stock on the water into customer promises and production plans. The inclusion of the Sage X3 ERP mobile automation license enables warehouse staff to utilize mobile devices and barcodes to receive, put-away, pick for sale or production, and stock-take inventory. (See below)

For companies with sophisticated warehouse operations who need a best of breed warehouse system, CitySoft recommends using Datalinx WMS.

Datalinx currently offers companies a greater set of warehouse management capabilities than those available in the Sage X3 mobile automation license.  Unlike 3rd party warehousing systems developed without any reference to Sage X3, Datalinx WMS was developed exclusively for Sage X3. Its design adds to the Sage X3 inventory tables rather than creating a secondary inventory database – which is what 3rd party warehouse systems will demand. Integration between Datalinx and Sage X3 ERP stands out as a major differentiator, outperforming 3rd party WMS solutions that typically create stock discrepancies between systems and unnecessary user frustrations.

Datalinx Advanced Warehousing

Datalinx provides:

  • Radio frequency warehouse management
  • Container equivalence management
  • GS1 – 128, ASN, SSCCs & License plate management
  • Up to 25% improvement in pick speeds
  • Blocking and non-conformity management
  • Hazardous materials management
  • Commercial priorities management
  • Multiple pick models such as zone and wave picking
  • 99.9% receipt, put-away and picking accuracy
Distribution

The Distribution suite tightly integrates procurement,  sales order management, and production for companies who manufacturer and distribute goods.

The advanced import management option adds container and vessel management capabilities for stock management on the water. The system includes management of shipping containers and bills of lading (BOL’s).

For distribution companies with less sophisticated warehousing needs but who all the same are interested in operating a paperless warehouse, Sage X3 offers an affordable automated data capture (ADC) license.  The ADC license removes paper from the warehouse, reduces picking errors and provides data verification across all the inventory processes. In effect the ADC license mimics the paper based stock instructions of Sage X3 and in turn enables warehouse staff to undertake warehouse transactions using a mobile device or by using touch screen terminals. By using the Sage ADC license, receipting, picking, moving and transferring stock between bays, sites and warehouses is simplified.

Sage Inventory Advisory
As an advanced option, Sage Inventory Advisor (SIA), a Sage SaaS Cloud offer, can further optimise your stock holding by analysing your inventory position, by running 28 advanced algorithms across your data as frequently as you require to assist with purchasing, pricing and promotional activities.

SIA is offered as a software as a service (SaaS). It provides companies with constant inventory feedback that aids with continuous stock improvement. Utilising 28 modifiable advanced logistical algorithms SIA helps companies analyse factors such as item velocity, supplier accuracy, stock value and contribution and current stock position against your service and stocking objectives to help purchasing managers better time purchases, and promotions, to meet contractual arrangements and other levers that influence sales and optimised stock levels.

Sage Inventory Advisor helps companies reduce inventory by up to 35% and increase sales by 10% or more, using its cloud-based inventory management system. Sage Inventory Advisor is a secure, cloud-based subscription service that helps you reduce stock outs, excess inventory, and improve working capital. And it connects directly to your Sage ERP solution.

Sage X3 Mobile Automation

The Sage X3 distribution suite provides mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) the ability to manage inventory in one or multiple locations. The system supports the use and creation of SSCC, EAN, & GS1 labels and manages lots, batches, serialised inventory, fractional quantities and multiple units of measure.

Bins, lots, rows and isles are managed in Sage X3 and the inclusion of the Sage mobile automation license delivers warehouse staff with radio frequency, paperless warehousing capabilities.

Sage X3 supports automated data feeds from multiple sales channels including eCommerce & EDI transactions. Sage X3 also manages kitting, consignment stock, RMA’s, QC and full integration with Sage X3 manufacturing processes.
