Introducing Honeywell Forge To Manage Warehouse Processes

Can Business Improve Warehouse Operations with Honeywell Forge?

As NetSuite SuiteScript developers we are always looking for ways to empower our clients to take control, work smarter and effectively manage their businesses. Often there is a major disconnect in managing the sales processes and warehouse operations as more businesses move into online sales. It was due to this recognised need that we began developing with Honeywell Forge, to integrate within the NetSuite platform and created a Warehouse Management System for businesses to manage their warehouse systems more efficiently.

With completion of this project, we were recently approached by Online eCommerce store Hot Toner to improve their warehouse operations and help them manage their sales processes. Hot Toner is a leading online supplier of Premium Inkjet Cartridges, Toner Cartridges and Other Consumables for Printers, Photocopiers and Facsimile Machines. With an extensive, highly consumable product range, Hot Toner’s online store is open 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Time-saving order management and accuracy of picking are essential to their business workflow as an online business selling consumables.

 

The NetSuite Problem with Warehouse Operations

Honeywell Movilizer Integration Hot TonerServicing a large volume of orders coming in every day, they had developed a process that saved time with NetSuite managing the workflow. What Hot Toner wanted, was to improve the accuracy of their picking without affecting their time-saving processes through their existing NetSuite JCurve process.

Using the Honeywell Forge mobile platform within NetSuite to improve Hot Toner’s warehouse operations enabled NetSuite to continue to manage the order workflow while improving picking accuracy. This also gives their warehouse staff complete control over when the data was delivered. Due to the size of their warehouse, the Honeywell Forge Warehouse Management System allows their staff to keep on processing orders on their mobile device regardless of an internet connection. A feature that had a positive impact on their order processing times.
