Box-wise Crossdocking

• Increff is excited to introduce the Cross-Docking feature in WMS, aimed at revolutionizing our warehousing and logistics operations. Cross-docking is a logistics strategy used in warehousing and transportation operations, where products or materials are transferred directly from an inbound truck or container to an outbound truck or container with little or no storage in between.

• Boxwise Cross-docking allows the direct transfer of boxes from inbound to outbound transportation, minimizing storage and handling requirements.

• This new functionality significantly reduces the number of scans needed per item or box from receipt to dispatch, streamlining the entire warehousing process.

• The implementation of Cross-Dock Flow in our WMS demonstrates a dedication to improving efficiency, cutting costs, and enhancing operational speed while reducing bottlenecks.

SFS/USP Return Video Capturing

Marketplaces enforce stricter SP claim regulations, now demanding video evidence of return and forward order processing with clear display of identifiers like AWB numbers, order IDs, invoices, or shipping labels. Utilizing a NAS device for storing videos is an innovative improvement to Increff SFS/USP functionalities, overcoming limited warehouse/store internet bandwidth and granting sellers control over video retention duration. Users can download the media they need based on a variety of search filters.

Enhanced Gate Entry and Box Receiving Workflow

The latest update to the WMS brings significant enhancements to the gate entry process and its related functionalities aiming at improving operational control and efficiency in warehouse inward operations.

• The Box ID generation has been separated into its own screen, streamlining the initial steps of gate entry creation.

• Users now can reprint Inward Box ID stickers through a dedicated screen.

• The search capabilities within the gate entry screen have also been refined, making it easier to retrieve data.

• Additionally, this update introduces a redirection mechanism from the gate entry screen to the "Receive Inward Box" screen, providing users with a choice to either stay or proceed.

• Furthermore, the receiving process now supports both external and internal box codes, offering flexibility for different operational requirements.

• To ensure organized storage of incoming boxes awaiting further processing, an Inward Staging Area & Location Configuration has been implemented.

Configurable Box Scanning for Enhanced Bulk Handover Flexibility

Save time and streamline your operations with this flexible improvement. Introducing a pivotal update to Increff WMS: a new configuration for making box ID scans optional during bulk order handovers. Responding to client feedback, this update allows clients to choose the option of handover where the user simply scans the order ID and Invoice ID, bypassing the need for box scanning.

1. If the configuration is on, any Box ID scan is not required. Furthermore, we display boxes in a table (similar to the scanned boxes table) along with the box count.

2. If the configuration is off, the flow will be the same as it currently is, where all box IDs must be scanned (Default Configuration).

Please reach out to our Omni Success team to enable/disable this configuration.

Auto Approval of ASN created by External systems using Integration

We are excited to announce that we have made some significant enhancements in the ASN creation process using Increff Standard APIs. This means that now ASNs can be automatically approved at the time of creation from external systems like ERP in the Increff system. We understand how time-consuming and tedious it can be to manually approve ASNs from the user interface, so this improvement will greatly eliminate that manual activity for you.

Update shipping/billing Address for Open Orders on Supplier/Customer address update

Upon updating the address of a supplier or customer, OMS now updates the shipping/billing address accordingly to accurately reflect the address in all open orders for the respective supplier or customer (Processing, Fulfillable, Created, Unfulfillable).

Manually refreshing Channel level jobs

Now manually refresh channel-level jobs with ease. Keep your workflows up-to-date effortlessly, enhancing efficiency and control.

• A new UI functionality has been added for manually refreshing channel-level jobs in CIMS even if no channel jobs are present, Eg, jobs that are newly created like consolidated invex job.

Optimized Order Hopping to improve Omni-channel experience

We have made some tweaks in the Order hopping workflow to improve the Omni-channel Offline to Online experience for brands.

Now, in case of rejection of an order from a store which does have inventory to sale for an product , Increff system will still send zero inventory update to Online channels (marketplaces, webshops, front-end websites).

This will help online channels to create the hopped orders in a different store which can reduce the logistic costs and increase chances of offline sale in the store from where order was rejected.

Support for Cancellation of Return Orders

We have now introduced a new feature that allows for the synchronization of return order cancellations from various front-end systems such as marketplaces, webshops, and websites. This enhancement will greatly reduce the occurrence of failed syncs and eliminate any duplicate return orders in Increff's downstream system.

Marketplaces where this is being supported currently are Nykaa, Limeroad, Pharmeasy, Snapdeal.

Added support in WMS to receive returns for items dispatched in the store
