In the fast-paced world of industrial distributors and equipment dealers, optimizing warehouse workflows is critical to maintaining a competitive edge. The latest release of FDC Warehouse Management (Build 514) delivers a comprehensive suite of upgrades designed to make your daily operations cleaner, faster, and more intuitive.
By combining powerful background data processing with smarter user interfaces and robust administrative controls, this update equips your facility to handle high-volume logistics with unprecedented precision.
Enhanced Search and Dynamic Configuration
Finding the right parts and managing system rules shouldn't slow your team down. FDC Warehouse Management Build 514 introduces several targeted tools to streamline navigation and administrative oversight across your distribution network.
- Targeted Inventory Lookups. Locating exact items is now instantaneous. Warehouse team members can narrow down stock using specialized metrics like allocated versus on-hand quantities, designated routing areas (such as Putaway, Pick, or Cycle Count zones), and five new custom location tags.
- Streamlined Order Troubleshooting. Warehouse managers can now isolate problematic records directly by Order Number rather than digging through individual part numbers, significantly accelerating the resolution of blocked or flagged shipments.
- Advanced Zone Filtering. Manage your facility layout more effectively with layered search options that let you combine Zone Groups and Descriptions alongside a new toggle for Prime and/or Bulk locations.
- Error-Free System Settings. Say goodbye to the mistakes caused by manual text entry. We’ve implemented multi-select dropdown menus for critical settings like reason codes, order types, and default printers. Additionally, administrators can now deploy an "Elapsed Time" rule to automatically escalate the priority of aging orders in the pick queue, and toggle staging confirmation prompts on or off to maximize daily throughput.
Lightning-Fast Data Processing
When managing extensive equipment parts catalogs, data bottlenecks are not an option. The new release of FDC Warehouse Management overhauls background performance to keep your supply chain moving.
- Accelerated Data Operations. Heavy-duty file transfers shouldn't cause system drag. Massive data maneuvers—including Excel exports for Locations or Part Aliases, as well as parameter uploads—now complete in mere seconds, effectively eliminating the minutes of waiting previously required for large files.
- Centralized Cycle Count Schedules. Coordinating holiday schedules across multiple branch locations is easier than ever. Administrators can now export, update, and import multi-store cycle count holiday dates simultaneously via a single spreadsheet upload.
Smarter Receiving and Mobile Workflows
Fulfillment speed is dictated by accuracy on the warehouse floor. FDC Warehouse Management brings new clarity to your receiving, putaway, and shipping procedures.
- Aisle-Optimized Sorting. To facilitate the efficient pre-sorting of inbound goods, the receipt confirmation screen now showcases the exact target location adjacent to the zone assignment. This allows teams to logically organize items by aisle before executing putaways.
- Streamlined Automated Storage (ASRS). For facilities leveraging automation with an AutoStore™ system, picked components from the AutoStore™ now drop seamlessly to predefined locations the moment an order-complete message is triggered. Furthermore, a new "Build Putaway License" process empowers mobile users to aggregate physical stock from standard bins or heavy-duty modular drawer cabinets into one unified license, ensuring a frictionless transfer into automated setups.
- Personalized Mobile Interfaces. Floor personnel can now pin their most heavily used tasks—such as Picking, Packing, or Staging—directly to their mobile scanner's main dashboard using a convenient "Add to Favorites" action.
- Modern Desktop Experience and Custom Branding. Desktop users benefit from a sleek user interface featuring light and dark modes, compact action buttons to save screen real estate, and highlighted columns that persist across different browser tabs. Finally, outgoing packages can now proudly display your company's custom black-and-white logo natively on all generated shipping labels.
