Mobile Outbound Fulfillment Dashboard for Managers in Mobile WMS

As warehouse managers, you can now view an insightful summary of outbound activities using the Outbound Fulfillment Dashboard on their mobile device. The dashboard includes critical order and picking information, including active users, assigned tasks, available tasks, and late orders.

With this feature, they can easily identify potential problems in outbound activities and act to minimize disruptions. You have the flexibility to extend and customize components on this dashboard to better suit your business requirements.

The Outbound Dashboard is comprised of 5 major sections:

Search Bar
Outbound Metrics
Shipping Statistics
Tasks Graph
Shipping Exceptions

The search bar accepts items, customers, carriers, and orders, as indicated in the default caption.

The Outbound Metrics track statistics related to the current fulfillment process, such as the numbers of orders with today's scheduled ship date, the number of carriers and the number of customers for the current order mix.

Outbound Metrics

Selecting any of the outbound metrics takes you to the list of values that comprise the metric. For example, selecting Carriers takes you to the a list of carriers for the orders on the dashboard.

Carriers

You can select one or more carriers and then return to the overview screen to see the details related to the selected carriers. Note that after returning to the overview screen, the carrier metric will include an asterisk (*) to indicate that has been used as a filter. Once applied, filters affect all components on the dashboard, including other metrics and the graphs. Filters for multiple metrics can be in effect simultaneously.

The tables associated with each metric may include several columns that can be accessed in landscape mode to see all the columns. Each column can be sorted. It may be more convenient to view the table in landscape mode in order see all columns at the same time.

Shipment Lines provide a complete overview for all active lines by status. Lines that are Not Started have not yet been released to the warehouse for picking. Lines that are In Progress are currently being picked or are staged. Lines that are Shipped have been ship confirmed.
