Discussing the core competencies of Encompass’ ERP platform, Jacob Sampson, VP of Sales and Marketing at Encompass Technologies, elaborates, “Unlike other WMSs that have migrated to the cloud in recent years, our product was designed and built for the cloud from day one.” Encompass Technologies was founded in 2001 by Kent and Jonathan O’Neil after the father-son duo designed a cloud solution that was tailored to imbue efficiency into the supply chain management of their beer distributorship.
Concurrently, the company’s cloud-based platform is capable of extracting data from legacy systems and seamlessly migrating them to the cloud via the web-based applications developed by Encompass Technologies. Moreover, the platform’s user-friendly interface does not require warehouse personnel to undergo extensive training. According to Sampson, most of the traditional WMS software still require users to possess tribal knowledge for the efficient transfer of data, “however, our unified, easy-to-use platform bypasses this challenge by leveraging automation,” he explains. Adding to this list of competencies, users of Encompass’ ERP platform can utilize the company’s mobile-based offerings to update the information on all ERP modules.
Encompass’ platform also helps businesses augment their warehouse operations with its hybrid automation system. This unique combination, which combines human and machine intelligence, helps minimize the cumbersome tasks that warehouse personnel conventionally perform and increase their productivity.
In one instance, Encompass Technologies helped Texas-based Del Papa Distributing Company enhance its warehouse management processes. Initially, the client’s existing voice picking software required warehouse personnel traverse around the warehouse to assemble one pallet, which took around 20 minutes. With Encompass’ pick-to-light solution, Del Papa’s employees could finish organizing five pallets of beer in the same time, significantly enhancing productivity and minimizing over-time hours. “With this success story, we were able to demonstrate our capability in maximizing labor efficiency and delivering superior customer experience through automated warehouse management processes,” adds Sampson.
Looking ahead, Encompass Technologies aims to leverage new automation technologies to bolster the efficiency of warehouse processes. “Alongside, we will continue leveraging other cutting-edge technologies to help our clients take complete control of their warehouse operations,” concludes Sampson.
