WHiPPET
Warehouse Management System Features

SageData is based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

There are many Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) on offer, some work in the cloud, some local. But it is sometimes difficult to find a system that is appropriate for your particular needs.  The ideal warehouse management system would be configured to your specific requirements, with features appropriate to the way that you work.

SDS offer WHiPPET - a system based on a long established Asset Management System, but designed to be flexibly configured to your specific needs. Users of the system include: an emergency resources application (with typically little movement), a fulfillment centre (with typically lots of movement), a remote maintenance facility, where fast retrieval (measured in seconds) is the key factor.

In each case the system was modified (and in some cases extra code was written) so that key activities could be carried out easily, quickly and reliably. Read on, or contact SDS for more information.
