LIDD CONNECT is a custom-built software package that links two best-of-breed solutions: Microsoft’s Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP and Generix’s Solochain Warehouse Management System.
The bridge allows food & beverage manufacturers and distributors to tackle traceability, inventory accuracy and manufacturing execution challenges seamlessly.
LIDD CONNECT’s Features Include:
Master Data Features
- Layout Information – LIDD CONNECT incorporates a 3D facility layout that allows you to measure warehouse bin capacity, build task-specific optimized warehouse routes and improve product slotting.
- Vendor Card – Ensure that your specific requirements are met when receiving items from your vendors. Configure your vendor card to have the right attributes to match vendor criteria.
- Item Card – Make the most of Solochain’s advanced tracking capabilities by maintaining information like manufacturing and expiry dates, lot numbers, country of origin and temperature.
- Customer Card – LIDD CONNECT creates attributes that enforce Solochain’s allocation algorithm to select the right inventory given diverse customer requirements.
Transactional Data Features
- Inbound Transactions – Realize accurate inventory information by capturing item data at receipt. LIDD CONNECT imposes triggers so that the WMS manages documents such as Purchase Orders, Return Orders, Transfer Orders and Credit Memos.
- Inventory Control – LIDD’s integration package enables you to make key decisions on how to represent inventory states such as status and condition. The connection enables a complete set of cycle count parameters so that you can drive the behavior of your WMS count tasks directly from your ERP.
- Bills of Material & Production Orders – LIDD CONNECT enables processes that are flexible enough to handle multiple change scenarios while enforcing critical control steps. Get the full benefit of BOM management, while maintaining a simple Production Order creation process and benefiting from advanced MES data capture capabilities.
- Outbound Transactions – Allow real-time control of picking, replenishment, loading and shipping tasks. LIDD CONNECT ensures the right level of information is exchanged between systems while managing the complete life cycle of documents.
Handshaking
- API – LIDD CONNECT creates a reliable, real-time bridge between Dynamics Business Central and Generix’s Solochain WMS. The solution covers staging tables, web services, error handling logic and dashboards to seamlessly integrate systems.
