Ascent Software Essentials

The Benefits of Ascent Software Essentials

Most people, when thinking of a Supply Chain Execution system, automatically think: BIG. With Ascent Software Essentials that’s no longer the case. What’s more compelling though, is that Ascent Software Essentials is based on the same software platform as its larger brethren – enabling small operations to take advantage of decades of software development and the huge investment in Ascent Software Essentials – but targeted to a smaller operation.

If you have a single distribution associate working in your distribution center or manufacturing storage environment, you can justify the deployment of Ascent Software Essentials.

Generally, the operational scale that the Essentials product targets is:

1 to 10 system users
1 to 2 zones in the distribution center
No need for complex order management
Willingness to work with a fixed set of options

It’s a perfect way to get started.

If you have a single distribution associate working in your distribution center or manufacturing storage environment, you can justify the deployment of Warehouse Librarian Essentials.

Increased Shipping Speed

Reduced Labor Cost

Reduced Dwell Time

Increases Storage Availability

You won’t grow out of your Ascent Software Essentials system.

When it comes to implementing a more complex environment (such as support for batch and wave picking), or when you need more users, you can upgrade – in place – to Warehouse Librarian from the Essentials product. All it takes is for Ascent Warehouse Logisitcs to issue a new license key, along with some planning and consultation if you are going to undertake new complex operations in your distribution environment, and you are ready to expand with the highest performance Supply Chain Execution system in the market.

In today’s market, even the smallest distribution or manufacturing operation cannot ignore the hidden costs associated with inventory accuracy, along with direct labor and space costs and the other market dynamics associated with operating in challenging economic conditions.

Even if you have a small operation, you’ve made some big investments to have a distribution or manufacturing business. It only takes a little more to provide you with the same capability and performance that companies like Petco enjoy. Companies like Animal Supply, Flexi, Norco, Parkseed, KC Metro, and Chefworks already have. You can too.
