Sage ERP X3 Warehouse Management

Improved warehouse utilization

This warehouse management system (WMS) can complement and extend an Sage ERP X3 implementation or function as a stand-alone or loosely coupled application with other solutions. The WMS system helps companies achieve a faster, more efficient flow of goods through their warehouses, resulting in improved warehouse utilization, minimized product handling, fewer processing errors and timelier, more accurate information.

Sage ERP X3 E-Commerce

To be successful at e-business, companies need to have more than just operational websites. They need the ability to extend their internal business applications to their websites so customers and suppliers can access and use them like any employee would. But until now, creating and connecting to e-business websites has been a goal that few companies have achieved easily. Either the development and integration toolsets were so complex that they required a deep level of technical expertise or so simple that they offered little flexibility for tailoring the site to the needs of the business.

It is a suite of tools that facilitates the connection of your business software applications to dynamic company websites, without the need for heavy programming or custom development, but with built-in customization tools for creating dynamic, personalized websites.

The result is a personalized, highly secure e-business solution that gives companies tremendous autonomy in the way they design and manage their websites, and in how they interact with business partners.
