TMSi Launches V-Lox™,
a newly-enhanced version of a web-based
and real-time warehouse management system

(Portsmouth, NH) TMSi announces the recent software release of V-Lox™, a newly enhanced version of its web-based, real-time warehouse management system. Users can easily track their inventory, process orders using RF or paper, and manage discreet inventories.

“V-lox uses the most advanced technology to ensure clients have up-to-the-minute information to effectively track and monitor their supply chain,” said Ron Cain, TMSi’s CEO/President. “By combining transparent, real-time tracking, and the ability to access inventory data from any Internet access computer, clients can remain constantly updated on their distribution and logistics related activities.”

Inventory and key activities including receiving, put away, picking, packing, and shipping can be viewed anywhere with a standard web browser. The V-Lox system also allows clients to exchange information with vendors, carriers, ERP systems and more.

“By collaborating closely with our clients, we can easily customize and scale the V-Lox technology to a company’s specific needs,” said Ofer Nativ, TMSi’s Information Technology Manager. “We’ve developed V-Lox to really reflect the TMSi philosophy of using our people and our flexibility to adapt to the customer’s individual needs.”

V-Lox is an affordable solution with robust functionality with a low total cost of ownership (TCO) and quick return on investment (ROI). The cost structure is known upfront, and is correlated with the success of your business.

Enhanced Features Include:

V-Lox is a cost effective solution with robust functionality and quick, quantifiable return on investment (ROI). The cost structure or Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is known upfront, and is easily linked with the success of your business.

• On Demand: TMSi’s On-Demand model (called SaaS or Software-as-a-Service) is a web-based solution allowing users to be up and running in minutes.

• Visibility: Inventory and key activities like receiving, put-away, picking, packing and shipping in your facilities can be viewed at any time using a standard web browser. The system provides you with the ability to drill down to multiple levels of detail such as SKU, location, pallet and lot or serial number.

• Integration: Exchange information throughout the supply chain with vendors, carriers, ERP systems and more. The integration is automatic, and V-Lox displays up-to-date information on inbound shipments and orders to fulfill, while updating the surrounding systems with the activities and inventory levels in the warehouse.

• Multiple Facilities: V-Lox can track and manage inventory in multiple facilities; Employees from a certain facility can only operate in their facility, while management can view inventory and activities in aggregate across all facilities.

• Multiple Customers: V-Lox can manage distinct inventory for multiple customers in the same facility. Your customers can view only their inventory, while you can access the inventory for all customers.

• RF and Paper Processing Options: Inventory can be processed using wireless RF technology for accuracy and real-time updates, or through paper documents. V-Lox records your transactions and updates the status of your inventory in the same manner.

• Accountability: Information is captured on every transaction in a reference-able database. Access to this information allows the user to do research, reconciliation, and root cause analysis. For example, users can trace warehouse transactions by employee, item, location, or date.

• Flexible Pricing Approach: Traditional upfront software pricing or “pay as you go” transactional pricing that can scale with the business allows users to select the best solution that meets their needs. V-lox can be purchased by itself or as a part of TMSi’s comprehensive logistics solution.
