Click Commerce, Inc. (Nasdaq:CKCM), a leading provider
of on-demand supply chain management solutions, has released MOVE
version 8.1 of its warehouse management software. MOVE 8.1 enables
companies to offer innovative value added services and provides
support for radio frequency identification (RFID) and voice-enabled
operations in the warehouse.
MOVE 8.1's value added services provide companies a way to
differentiate from their competitors by offering their customers
unique capabilities. Some of these services include customer
personalization, complex final assembly and light manufacturing
operations, and support for reverse logistics requirements in the
service supply chain.
This release also provides RFID capabilities integrated with basic
warehouse operations such as receiving, putaway, picking and shipping,
and is an upgrade to the Intelligent Supply Chain solution offered by
Click Commerce. In partnership with Vue Technology, the Intelligent
Supply Chain is a cost-effective, RFID-integrated solution that
increases productivity and inventory accuracy in the warehouse. It
also enables the ability to pull inventory through the supply chain
network based on real-time demand demands to avoid stock-outs. The
solution is designed to deliver increased customer service levels, and
lower supply chain costs.
In addition, the release further enhances MOVE's voice
functionality, which creates a dialogue between warehouse employees
and MOVE. MOVE 8.1 utilizes a voice-directed interface that allows
warehouse employees to speak vital warehouse information about
inventory operations into a headset, rather than inputting the
information into a cumbersome hand-held device. The solution, which
includes technology from Vocollect, results in increased labor
productivity, improved inventory accuracy, and better safety for the
company's warehouse workers. Customers using the Click Commerce voice
solution are experiencing productivity improvements within a short
period of time.
According to a September 2005 research article, "Talk to Me,
Supply Chain: Warehouse Workers Find Their Voice (Technology)," by
Greg Aimi of AMR Research, "Voice-directed work in the warehouse is
delivering direct benefit in increased productivity, inventory and
fulfillment accuracy, and workforce safety."
"Our customers are asking us to help them differentiate
themselves, to help them find additional ways to gain market share and
grow sales," said Steve Cole, senior vice president of product
management. "MOVE 8.1 is a direct response to these requests and
offers a best-in-class warehouse management solution that delivers
value for our customers."
The new release integrates with the Click Commerce Enterprise
Service Bus (ESB). The ESB enables extensible markup language (XML),
electronic data interchange (EDI), or flat file communications between
the warehouse management system and external systems. Most warehouse
management solutions require a middleware provider, which can be
costly. With the Click Commerce ESB, companies can easily integrate
MOVE 8.1 with other applications. The solution is based on open
standards, which enables it to be modified to meet a customer's
specific needs.
The Click Commerce ESB uses Service Oriented Architecture (SOA),
which enables composite applications. The ESB integrates Click
Commerce applications to work as a suite of products. It leverages web
services and Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) to orchestrate
the flow of information between Click Commerce applications.
"With the Click Commerce ESB, companies can integrate Click
Commerce solutions according to their own business processes, instead
of being forced to work in a predefined framework," said Cole.
Click Commerce will introduce MOVE 8.1 at Distribution/Computer
Expo 2006 in Chicago, May 24-25, at Navy Pier. For more information,
