A CC ELL OS O NE W AREHOU S E E DITIONS INTRODUCTION TO ACCELLOS ONE WAREHOUSE EDITIONS

To provide customers with maximum flexibility and cost effective solutions, Accellos offers three pre-packages editions, as well as modular licensing that lets customers pinpoint the functions and systems they wish to purchase as part of their Accellos One Warehouse system. The pre-packages editions Collect Edition, Manage Edition and Fulfill Edition, are designed to meet the requirements and scope of a variety of distribution centers. All additional functionality offered by Accellos One Warehouse is licensed individually on a modular basis, which includes Optional Modules and Toolkits. The Editions and Optional Modules and Toolkits are described in the sections following.

COLLECT EDITION
The Collect Edition is the basic or easy edition of Accellos One Warehouse. Collect is designed to be a true entrylevel product. It offers simplified user processes and implementation, while still providing a robust WMS solution. Concentrating on the basic features, this version has a streamlined setup and configuration process that lets customers get up and running with less effort and a minimized learning curve.

MANAGE EDITION
The Manage Edition is essentially the Collect Edition with the addition of the Kitting, Multi-Zone and Labor Standards modules. It maintains the simplicity of the entrylevel Collect Edition, while providing: Kitting for sites that need some sort of production facility. Multi-zone functionality for sites that need to use zones for specific purposes such as hazmat or freezers or if they define their warehouse layout using different zones. Labor standards functionality, as well as the ability to optionally add other modules, as required.

FULFILL EDITION
The Fulfill Edition builds on the features and functions of the Collect/Manage Editions by adding some of the most commonly used advanced features. Fulfill addresses the desire for the most frequently requested enhancements, without requiring customers to buy specialized features they dont need. Growing businesses will find that the upgrades in the Fulfill package provide additional functionality for current and future needs.

Accellos One Warehouse V6.3 Modules & Editions Document

OPTIONAL MODULES AND TOOLKITS

Since many businesses have specialized needs, Accellos One Warehouse offers numerous modules/toolkits that can be purchased individually. Accellos understands that businesses dont want to buy functionality that they will never use or that they dont have the infrastructure to support. Therefore, the new licensing model allows you to pinpoint and purchase only the modules/toolkits you require. Modules are a standard set of functions that do not require any additional development to implement. Toolkits are used by our Professional Services Development Team to build custom solutions for customers. For example, we have the ability to control carousels and conveyors, but each site requires some level of customization. The customer would be required to purchase the Warehouse Automation Toolkit and then a number of days of custom development at our standard PS rates in order to implement a complete solution.

LICENSE PLATES: provides an effective way of grouping products onto pallets (or into cartons) for easy movement and tracking throughout the warehouse.License plates make handling related products more efficient, especially pre-packs and serialized items Serialized Items Rather than identifying every serial number every time a pallet is moved, serial numbers are efficiently tracked and moved through the warehouse using license plates Pre-packs are mixed cartons created by vendors they contain multiple items in specific quantities that are ordered by customers and therefore are never typically opened. Each Pre-Pack requires a license plate. License plates can be created through Receiving, Miscellaneous Adjustments that add stock to the warehouse, and Direct Moves. Once the license plate is created, you can add and remove products from the license plate, move and assign the license plate to a new bin, or pick the license plate to fulfill a sales order. Single-item license plates can cycle counted, including the ability to add new single-item license plates during cycle counting and License Plate Audit where you can confirm which license plates are stored in a bin, but not the contents.

CARTONIZATION: Using dimensional product data and standard boxes, splits sales orders into individual cartons before being released for picking. When orders are allocated, they are automatically split up into their discrete cartons for picking directly to shipping container. Sales orders are split into multiple cartons based on the dimensions and weight of each product as well as the fill rate (target and maximum), weight restrictions, and dimensions of each box. Each carton is treated like a separate order in the system, all cartons must be finished before information is uploaded to the ERP. Facilitates simultaneous zone picking and picking to final carton
