Softeon: Softeon Warehouse Management + Execution System

Softeon WES takes warehouse software to new levels of performance after more than two decades of mostly incremental progress in the industry.

The innovations include direct management and optimization of a variety of picking systems without the need for any additional third-party software, smart release of work based on multiple attributes, and the first WES designed to deliver value at both automated and non-automated operations.

Softeon WES managers the flow of goods in a DC to level-load the work, based on constraint awareness, significantly improving cost and throughput.

• Intelligent Orchestration of Order Fulfillment for Automated and Non-Automated DCs
• Direct Integration of a Variety of Picking Sub-Systems, such as Voice, Pick-To-Light, Put Walls, Mobile Robots and more
• Automated Release of Work based on Priority, Inventory and Resource Availability, Optimization Opportunities, Carrier Cut-Off Times and more

What is a WES? In standalone mode, the WES can work with any existing WMS with flexible integration and process models. This approach can bring new life to aging environments without the need for a full WMS replacement, or deploy Softeon WES with the company’s WMS for a fully integrated solution out-of-the-box. Work is automatically released based on optimization opportunities, order priority, inventory/resource availability, customer service commitments, carrier cut-off times and more.
