  1. What do you call a pleasing manufacturing warehouse?
  2. A. Satisfactory.
  3. My name is Michelle, and I am going to be
  4. telling you a about a warehouse management system and how
  5. a company can easily manage their warehouse operations.
  6. Today, I'm going to be telling you about three p
  7. L Central.
  8. Give you an in depth look on this technology.
  9. It's costs and necessary training.
  10. I'm now gonna jump into my analysis.
  11. So repeal Central is a cloud based warehouse management system
  12. that is used to manage warehouse inventory and operations from
  13. anywhere in the world.
  14. The goal is to help warehouses operate more efficiently and
  15. grow faster without error prone paper systems.
  16. The industry that uses three Peel Central most is logistics
  17. and supply chain.
  18. It is a warehouse management system, so its biggest users
  19. are warehouses that are trying to move their operations online.
  20. Three. Peel Central increases their revenue by reducing their costs.
  21. They do this by eliminating human error in any aspect
  22. of business, like billing shipping anything that could increase costs.
  23. And their goal is to transform those paper based businesses
  24. into an automated online service that reduces costs of error
  25. as well as the cost of labor on this chart
  26. that I found her on their website.
  27. They wrote that they saved companies about $8000 per month
  28. just on labor alone, so trying to reduce those costs
  29. and increasing the revenue, I didn't choose this technology over
  30. others because I had never really heard about warehouse management
  31. and operations systems.
  32. And I thought I'd be really interesting to learn about
  33. the process is and how it could be automated to
  34. make operations more efficient.
  35. Now I'm gonna jump into my walk through first step,
  36. really is Inventory management happens before any product enters or
  37. leaves the warehouse, So this includes managing the receipt, storage
  38. and outflow of the materials.
  39. Then customers order online through fields Central integrates with all
  40. the leading shopping carts like Amazon and Shopify to make
  41. shopping on my easier customer orders, then come to the
  42. warehouse within minutes.
  43. Then, through Pale, Central gives customers it's an access to
  44. leading shipping and delivering cos it allows their customers to
  45. keep working with their current carriers like FedEx, while also
  46. giving them access to new vendors and service that adds
  47. value. Once a customer places an order, their build quickly
  48. so that the warehouse has paid faster.
  49. There is a billing module that's integrated within QuickBooks in
  50. order to export the invoices quickly.
  51. It also calculates recurring charges for storage, shipping and handling.
  52. Once the orders come in, workers are given an itinerary
  53. of items to be packed and shipped to the customer.
  54. The warehouse management system automatically adjust inventories and replacement time.
  55. Here, you can see the shipping levels being adjusted.
  56. Next, I'm gonna move on to my cost.
  57. So the exact cost of the service are based on
  58. many different factors, like the type of the warehouse, its
  59. own, how long they're gonna need the service for and
  60. what specifics a company may be looking for.
  61. The price is a subscription based service starting at less
  62. than $500 per month.
  63. This price does include the cloud based solution.
  64. But in order to find out what else it comes
  65. with, you would need to contact the repeal central directly.
  66. We do know that there are updates and software maintenance
  67. regularly, but the only way note to know when it
  68. updates and how much that cost is to contact the
  69. company directly as there is a little to no information
  70. online about this.
  71. Now I'm gonna transition to training.
  72. There are many, many different ways to learn how to
  73. use the system They have in person live online training's
  74. webinars and documentation that train employees on the service.
  75. Customers are also able to contact customer service 24 7
  76. toe ask questions or resolve issues.
  77. The length of time needed to train the employees really
  78. depends on a few factors, like how large the warehouses
  79. and if they have any added extra.
  80. And it added, extra service is.
  81. Training is very simple to complete, and no pre requisite
  82. knowledge is needed.
  83. Most reviews online state It's quick and easy to learn.
  84. I would say that the greatest barrier for employee training
  85. would be transitioning from a paper based Owen online service,
  86. as they would need to get adjusted to that fairly
  87. quickly. Now, to wrap things up.
  88. The key takeaways from this is that customers are able
  89. to order materials online, have them build and shipped more
  90. quickly and efficiently than a paper based warehouse.
  91. It's supposed to increase revenue by eliminating extra error, and
  92. labor costs costs about less than $500 per month.
  93. There is minimal training or prerequisites required for this technology
  94. that's gonna conclude my presentation.
  95. If there are any points that require further clarification, please
  96. let them know.
  97. Please, just sit now.
  98. If not, thank you for your time.
