weight or any other field required by the client.
 Supports UCC-128 decoding for food industry labels.
 Can be configured to decode client-specific barcodes.
 Supports labeling at time of receipt.

5. Put Away
 Can be configured to direct
operators to put away
product in designated
locations within the
warehouse:
 Primary and Secondary
Locations
 Based on “like” items
 Based on demand
 Based on space
utilization
 Based on FIFO rules
 HazMat Considerations

6. Inventory Movements
 Standard From and To location.
 Can be configured to allow or disallow different
items in the same inventory location.
 Can be configured to only allow certain products in
a designated location.
 Can be configured to automatically place product
on hold.

7. Inter-Warehouse
Transfers
 Operators can build Inter-
warehouse transfers from a
mobile device or thru the Scout
Administration utility.
 Operators can pick products for
an inter-warehouse transfer
against a warehouse transfer
created thru Scout or the
customer’s ERP system.

8. Replenishments or
Let Downs
 Based on orders shipping today.
 Based on bin capacity.
 Based on quantity on hand.
- Messages optionally sent to replenishment
operators as soon as bin capacity is below
minimum QOH.

9. Cycle Count & Physical
Inventory
 Cycle count is blind.
 Supports basic undirected cycle counting.
 Supports directed cycle counting using
“ABC” rules.
 Physical counts
- Based on current velocity and number of
operators calculates how much time is remaining
to complete the count.
 Exceptions can be posted immediately or
approved first.

10. QA Functions
 Scout can place items, pallets/containers,
lots and locations on QA Hold.
- Operator designates hold reasons from a
list.
 Product on QA hold cannot be shipped.

11. Picking
 Picking can be configured as follows:
 Single Order Pick (single or multiple operators)
 Zone Pick
 Batch Pick
 Orders may be assigned to individuals.
 Scout can be configured to allow over-picks.
 Scout can be configured to enforce FIFO rules.
- Specific operators may override FIFO designation.
- Supervisors can authorize a FIFO exception thru the operator’s
device or via the Scout Administration utility.
 Based on pick velocity, Scout can:
- Determine how long it will take for an order to be pick complete.
- Warn appropriate personnel if a shipping window is at risk.

12. Space Utilization
 Based on TI/HI and Bin dimensions.
 Scout can recommend that certain product be placed or
consolidated in specific inventory locations to maximize space
utilization.
 Scout determines whether product can be stacked.
- E.g. You can stack 2 high but not 3 or you can’t stack at all.

13. Pack/Verify
 Scout will advise of incorrect product, shorts or over picks.
 Packing label can optionally be printed once product has been
pack/verified.

14. Shipping
 Scout can be configured to
designate specific orders be loaded
at specific docks.
- Scout validates that the dock door
scanned matches the selected order.
 Scout can be configured to print a
Bill of Lading automatically once all
items have been shipped.
 Scout can be configured to track
weights to minimize risks of trucks
being overloaded.
 Scout can interface with shipping
systems such as UPS and FedEx,
ADSI Ship It.
