Modular to Fit Warehouse Process Flow Today and in the Future
The Lucas warehouse optimization software includes configurable workflows and reporting components for specific warehouse operations and management functions: picking, receiving, putaway, sortation, loading, audit, replenishment, cycle count, slotting, labor planning, etc. The modules are designed to accommodate each DCs unique business rules, warehouse process flows and other requirements.
Configurable Warehouse Management System Process Flow
Increase productivity, throughput and accuracy in case, piece or pallet picking with voice-direction and AI-based process optimization.
Reduce audit time with parameter-based auditing based on experience, order, products and customers.
Improve receiving and returns processes by using voice, scanning and visual displays for receiving mixed or full pallets, verifying quantities, identifying damage, and sorting and staging items for put-away.
Move full or mixed pallets from reserve or bulk storage to forward picking locations. In some instances, replenishment can be included in picking workflows or interleaved with other tasks.
Putaway
Use voice and scanning technologies in putaway processes for full pallets, mixed pallets (multiple SKUs putaway in separate storage locations), or using carts with mixed SKUs.
Cycle Count
Maximize accuracy by incorporating cycle count in picking or other workflows. Lucas supports opportunistic cycle counts (directing a picker to count a location after they pick from it).
Ease post-pick steps by using put walls (or other consolidation methods) to assemble multi-line orders that have been picked in multiple zones or batches.
Dynamically optimize your inventory with current and forecasting data that enables managers to make efficient slotting adjustments in advance of changing conditions.
Truck Loading & Shipping
Optimize loading pallets for route-stop delivery. In addition, include system- or user directed loading, and include safety and other inspection steps.
Increase throughput and manage peaks with management dashboards that provide managers real-time visibility and control of operations.

We helped Baptist Health, a leading healthcare provider, double picking productivity.
“The previous average picking rate in the LUM area was 50-56 lines per hour (LPH). Today it is 100-110. That is a 100% improvement, and in bulk picking, the number is about 20 percent.”
We helped Apex Tool Group, a leading manufacturer of hand and power tools, operate with 10% fewer man hours.
“You rarely implement a new system and have users tell you ‘It’s made my life so much easier!’ Making the processes better for associates makes them more productive. And that’s better for the business.”
