Beacon Link

Beacon Link has announced that its Warehouse Management System (WMS) for Sage Accounts is now available to customers of Sage 200. The established software has been successfully running alongside Sage 50 Accounts for 5 years. It manages all stock control functions from the receipt of stock through to the despatch and invoice.

The key strengths of Stock+ for Sage 50 is the tight integration with Sage, which means all sales orders, purchase orders, and stock adjustments are recorded in Sage in real-time, whilst at the same time capturing additional information , such as serial numbers and batch numbers which are essential to many customers.

Beacon Link is seeking to work with Sage 200 Business Partners to provide them with a WMS solution they can include in their existing portfolios.

Installations are suitable for warehouses of all sizes, from small stockrooms to larger, multi-user environments. Stock+ manages batches, pallets, SKUs, serial numbers, expiry dates, and GS1 barcodes.

A variety of picking methods are available, such as FIFO (First In - First Out), prioritised picking locations, picking by bin, by product, or by line sequence. Many existing Stock+ customers have discovered the consolidated picking to be advantageous; consolidated picking facilitates simultaneous picking of multiple orders destined to the same customer.

Beacon Link’s remote technical support looks after any customer questions or problems arising with barcode scanning, label printing, route optimisation or report writing. Customers benefit from a swift response from a skilled IT team.

Using Beacon Link to manage Sage inventory will ensure a rapid return on investment. The user friendly system is built on Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft .NET technologies which have proven to be very reliable platforms for large data volumes.

Starting from a single handheld terminal, customers can start small and expand as their requirements change.

One of the most important questions any wholesale company that carries stock must answer is how to minimize cost. The answer, we propose, is the tight control of the stock that you do carry, that reduces the capital tied up in overstocked, obsolescent, and wasted stock.
