What is Planograma¶
Planograma is a warehouse management system (WMS — Warehouse Management System) that helps you control the entire journey of the goods through the warehouse:
Receipt → Storage → Order → Picking → Packing → Shipping
(NIR) (locations) (client) (collection) (verification) (AWB)
What you can do with Planograma¶
| Activity | Description |
|---|---|
| Goods receipt (NIR) | Register the goods received from suppliers and place them on locations. |
| Stock management | See in real time which products you have, in what quantity and in which location. |
| Orders | Receive orders (from the ERP or manually) and prepare them for delivery. |
| Picking | Collect the products from locations with the help of the scanner. |
| Packing | Check and pack the order before shipping. |
| Transfer | Move the goods from one location to another. |
| Inventory | Count and reconcile the actual stock with the one in the system. |
| Reports | Export to Excel stock, order and productivity reports. |
How it is used, in practice¶
Planograma has two "faces":
- The terminal (the scanner) — used by the warehouse operators for physical tasks: barcode scanning, receipt, picking, packing, inventory, transfer.
- The web interface — used by supervisors and administrators to configure, monitor and report: orders, stocks, settings, reports.
Integration with your ERP
Planograma connects with ERP systems (e.g. SoftOne, Nexus). Orders, products and documents can be synchronized automatically, and invoices/AWBs can be generated at order completion. The details specific to your integration are communicated to you by the implementation team.
Terms you will encounter often¶
A few abbreviations appear everywhere in the application. You can find them explained in detail in the Glossary of terms, but in short:
- NIR — the goods receipt document.
- AWB — the shipping label/document of the parcel.
- SSCC — the unique code of a logistics unit (pallet/parcel).
- Picking — collecting products from locations for an order.
- FEFO — the "first to expire, first out" rule.
