Radio Beacon Warehousing

Radio Beacon - SAP Business One Warehousing Management Solution

RADIO BEACON is a fully integrated software application that tracks the flow of goods through a distribution centre and automates the in-warehouse segment of the SAP Business One order-fulfilment process.

By integrating PC, barcode, radio frequency (RF) and RFID technologies, RADIO BEACON maintains up-to-the-minute warehouse inventory records, and reports on the real-time status of orders, products, and processes, to any member of the organization with access to SAP Business One or a Web browser.

SAP Business One and RADIO BEACON provide the inventory-control component of a fully automated warehouse management system, which includes order-entry, accounting, customer relationship, and supply chain management functionality. RADIO BEACON also acts as the intermediary between the financial system and a third-party shipping system that manages shipping processes and interactions with external logistics partners, such as couriers, postal systems, trucking providers, or other carriers.

Using RF handheld devices equipped with barcode or RFID scanners, warehouse staff record each movement of stock through the warehouse, from the moment the products arrive on the receiving dock from a supplier, to the moment they leave the shipping dock to travel to their final customer destination.

Radio Beacon can also integrate with various types of hardware used in the warehouse to assist in materials handling, such as scales, cubing machines, keyboard scanners, barcode label printers, laser printers, touch screens, conveyor belts, carousels, and so on.
