Inventory Management Systems: Shuttle and Rewards

Through the implementation of Shuttle, our clients can access the management and control of  their stocks located in any Nippon Express warehouse in the world.

The REWARDS system is specific from Nippon Express, facilitating the integration or system modifications needed  according to the  clients’ operative requirements.

 All distribution and storage operations are carried out from the REWARDS computer system and its main features are:

• Barcode reading and identification.
• Controlled location storage.
• Collection as instructed by the client (FIFO, LIFO etc.).
• Possibility of Connection via EDI
• Serial Numbers Capture
• Issuance of various shipping documents
• Tracking of shipments through the website
• Connection to  Nippon Express’ different worldwide warehouses

The pre-arrival of the goods information can be entered into the system either via EDI or manually.

Hence, the documentation used to control that all the cargo declared by the client has been received and detect discrepancies is generated. Labels for cargo storage are printed.

Customers have the ability to manage and control the stock by any of the concepts introduced in the data sheet (date of manufacture, batch number, reference number, product family, etc ...)

The system allows personalised document printing  with the name and logo of the client, ensuring their good image and avoiding any sign of not having been in a customer ‘s warehouse.
