Yantra DCS 6.2 Extends Distribution Outside the Four Walls for Global
2000 Businesses.
TEWKSBURY, Mass.- December 11, 2001-Yantra Corporation (www.yantra.com),
the leading provider of multi-enterprise commerce management solutions,
today announced a new multi-enterprise release of its warehouse management
application. Yantra DCS 6.2 enables a global view over all warehouse facilities
in a company`s network and adds dynamic slotting and broad parcel carrier
integration capabilities to connect businesses` warehousing operations
with their multi-enterprise distribution networks.
As Global 2000 companies struggle to manage fulfillment efficiently across
multiple divisions, business units and trading partners, they are looking
to make warehouse management operations more external facing. DCS 6.2
links tightly to Yantra`s Multi-Enterprise Order and Inventory Management
applications to connect warehousing operations more closely with other
supply chain events. This enables faster replenishment of stock by suppliers,
lower inventory levels and more flexible response to changes in supply
and demand. Broder Bros. and ScanSource are two of the Yantra customers
to already take shipment of the new release.
Version 6.2 adds significant capabilities and functionality around parcel
carrier integration. This includes a new carrier server module with pre-built
integration to major parcel carriers. The carrier server also enables
users to easily add additional parcel carriers through built-in extensibility
features. Other new capabilities include dynamic slotting. This feature
addresses space and operational efficiencies in the forward pick areas
of a warehouse. Pick locations can be set as either "Fixed" or "Dynamic."
This allows users to designate a percentage of, or entire forward pick
locations as dynamic.
" In the traditional single-enterprise model, a company`s warehouse management
system contained most of the information necessary to determine if it
were possible to fulfill an order," said Rob Sweeney, VP Product Management
for Yantra. "Today, given the increasing complexity of fulfillment, that`s
no longer enough. DCS 6.2 leverages the critical information that exists
in each warehouse and connects it with a company`s extended supply chain
to drive down cycle times and optimize inventory."
