What’s New/Improved

  • Logiwa now announces Logiwa Analytics! You are now able to get advanced insights into your operation by using our Analytics tool. There will be some pre-built standard dashboards ready to use but also you will be able to create your own dashboards, clone a pre-built dashboard, and customize that one, manage the access levels on the dashboard level, and so forth.

  • Logiwa introduces the AI Add-On feature! Enhance your job optimization capabilities with our AI engine, LIO. To get started with LIO, simply reach out to our CSM team. Once your account subscription is confirmed, proceed to set up the AI feature from the Add-On screen. Here, you can choose the specific warehouse(s) where AI Job Optimization will be applied and select the job type(s) to be optimized.

    • Please note that the AI engine needs approximately 24 hours to collect data from the account

    • Additionally, create an "AI Wave Rule" from the Wave Rules screen, marking it as an AI Wave

    • When you execute an AI Wave, all jobs generated by Logiwa and optimized by AI will carry the same AI flag.

    • This innovative approach eliminates the need to create numerous job types, as AI intelligently groups picking tasks based on its predefined smart job types.

  • Logiwa announces B2B functions! With this functionality, you will be able to manage your operations with these abilities:

    • Parent LP hierarchy: You can put your LPs on a Parent LP and manage all operations by using Parent LPs.

    • Receiving functionalities:

      • Cross-Dock Receiving: Send the LPs and the contents with Purchase Orders and receive the inventories by scanning the LPs without opening the LP.

      • Putaway Suggestion During Receiving: If you do not want to receive and then put away the LPs, you can manage both operations during receiving now. After enabling the Putaway Suggestion toggle on receiving, the system will suggest a location for the received LPs and you can put these LPs to the suggested or any other location.

    • Pre-define customers and create the orders by using these customers.

    • Manage transfers with Parent LPs

    • New Shipment Plan screen to create plans for each truck/shipment and add the orders to the shipment plans

      • Allocate the orders by Shipment Plans

      • Print BOL/Manifest reports by shipment plans

    • Partial allocation & shipment: So, if you do not want to create backorders for unavailable SKUs, you can enable partial operations on your SO Type, and the orders will be partially allocated, partially picked/packed, and shipped. When there are inventories for the remaining SKUs, the order can be allocated and picked up later on.

      • You will see a (P) indicator on the Status field on the Shipment Order screen. This means the order is in progress partially.

    • Pick full LPs on picking: If an LP is fully allocated for a specific job, the mobile pick to location screen will ask to scan the LP code and the process can be done by scanning the LP. To enable that full LP allocation, we also added a new parameter to the job type:

      • Disable Full LP Picking: If this parameter is NO, the system will try to allocate full LP first then loose items will be allocated.

    • Loading screen on mobile: Users will be able to load the picked items or LPs to the loading gates. Loading is also managed by tasks and it will be created after picking in the system automatically. To create loading tasks after completing the picking/packing, we added a new parameter to the job type:

      • Create Loading Task: If this parameter is YES, the system will create the loading tasks for the jobs.

    • Ship with Shipment Plan screen on mobile: You can scan the Shipment Plan Code on this screen and ship all orders within that Shipment Plan.

No, that is not over yet! 🚀

  • Now, Logiwa has new Return Management functionalities! You can create RMAs, return the orders via RMA numbers, or return via SO codes. You can customize the return reasons that will be listed on the return station, and configure returns with advanced features under the Data Setup - Return tab.

  • Email Notification feature has been released! Users can now enable email notifications under client settings. 3 different notification types are available as follows: Received PO notification, Daily Inventory Notification, and Safety Stock Notification.

  • An improvement has been implemented to the Packing screen, specifically addressing Multiple Barcode Management. Users can now effortlessly scan or enter the SKU or any barcode associated with a product that has multiple barcodes.

  • When opting for "Enter a New Address for Billing" in the Shipment Order, the system now allows differentiation between the shipper's contact information and address compared to the recipient's details. This ensures greater flexibility in managing distinct contact details for billing and shipping purposes.

  • Priority and delete options have been added to wave rules. If the job is not started, there will be an option to delete that job.
