GIMM STOCSA Warehouse Management Solution
GIMM STOCS is a Warehouse Management System (WMS) designed
to control the stocks of industrial plants and retailers (small-mediumwarehouses). Provides the services to control and trace the incomingand outgoing transits.
Manages warehouse inventory, space, material handling andtransportation resources in real time to assure timely, error-free
fulfillment, delivery, and visibility of order status throughout thesupply chain.
GIMM STOCS provides its maximum benefits when implemented
together with PROCS and LINCS GIMM products.

Reception Area
STOCS material reception can be manually handled or automated by receiving EDI or other standard files. This allows the plant tocheck and validate incoming transits previously to the physical reception.

STOCS is able to receive the goods in different ways (individual containers, mono and multi reference pallets, etc.) and execute
quality audits. The operator shall easily validate the orders and the quantity using handheld terminals and/or a client PCs provided
with large screens that can be seen from long distances.

Storage Area: Modelling
The storage area is modelled in a hierarchical mode, and several warehouses canbe managed by the same GIMM STOCS system:

Storage Area: Put-Away & Picking
To facilitate the later shipping process, it is needed the stored material tobe located properly for each situation. In this sense, STOCS allows storing
goods to be extracted based on either standard or tailored rules: First In First Out First In Last Out First Expired First Out Customized algorithm
This extraction algorithm can be configured at the level of part number.
