How LIDD Connect Empowers Distributors & Manufacturers
LIDD Connect not only bridges ERP systems and Solochain, but it also features original capabilities that give companies in the Food and Beverage industry the means to achieve a truly seamless operation.
Handshaking
- LIDD Connect creates a dynamic and reliable bridge between your ERP system (Business Central or NetSuite) and Generix’s Solochain WMS for real-time communication between your systems.
- The solution covers staging tables, web services, and error handling logic.
- LIDD Connect offers intuitive and efficient dashboards for an improved user experience across all functions.
Master Data Features
- Layout Information – LIDD Connect incorporates a 3D facility layout that allows companies to measure warehouse bin capacity, build task-specific optimized warehouse routes, and improve product slotting.
- Vendor Card – Ensures that a company’s specific requirements are met when receiving items from vendors. LIDD Connect simplifies the configuration of vendor cards to make sure that its attributes match the vendor’s criteria.
- Item Card – LIDD Connect makes it possible to tap into the full scope 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 – The accuracy of inventory information is optimized by capturing item data upon reception. LIDD Connect imposes triggers so that Solochain manages documents such as Purchase Orders, Return Orders, and Transfer Orders.
- Inventory Control – LIDD’s integration package enables operators 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 Solochain’s behavior during counts can be determined directly from the ERP.
- Bills of Material & Production Orders – LIDD Connect increases the flexibility of processes to handle multiple change scenarios while enforcing critical control steps. Companies get the full benefit of BOM management while maintaining a simple Production Order creation process and profiting from advanced MES data capture capabilities.
- Outbound Transactions – Operators get real-time control of picking, replenishment, loading, and shipping tasks. LIDD CONNECT guarantees that the right level of information is exchanged between systems and manages the complete life cycle of documents.
